Buyer's Remorse
Went shopping for a suit today. Have a few weddings coming up that I need to look good for. Ended up with a black Armani number to the tune of $1900 w/tailoring. I got caught up in the moment and bought a Stefano Ricci shirt and Brioni shirt/tie for another grand. Thinking of returning the shirts/tie. I mean $600 for a shirt? I'm afraid to wash it but can't stand the thought of some random dry cleaner touching it either. Guessing that isn't a good sign. I can afford it, but shit, it's a shirt. And it's not even made from a virgin's pubic hair.
Thoughts? Have until the 30th to return/keep it when I pick up my tailoring.

600 for a shirt? I expect it to be measured on my body, made of virgin skin, while getting head during the fitting.
There are great off the shelf shirts with great fits in the $100-200 range. Boss Slim fits are around 130 and fit great if you arent a fatty. |

First of all i must be in the wrong profession. 600 big ones for a shirt....god damn thats alot. I'm sure you can find a nice shirt for a less. Plus if it doesn't feel good to you then it's probably not good.

for sure return the shirt, no shirt cant be worth that much
+1 for the Hugo Boss shirts, they are really nice and fit skinny people like me perfectly. $150 is prob the most I'll spend on a shirt, there are so many great shirts from $50-100 that anything over $150 is just a waste. |

return the shirt, as you said, even ignoring the ridiculous price tag, there's no random dry cleaner I'd trust with that.... I've had dry cleaner ruin $10 shirts, and $20 jackets, wouldn't trust them with a $600 shirt

You pay for what you get..... Up to a point on certain products. You're probably paying a lot for the silk and the fact that it's (handmade?) in Italy I would assume. On shirts, it's my opinion that paying for the name and these things is a waste when you get past about $200.
Return that shirt.

as others have stated, I'd return the shirt. Suit's been modded to your specs so enjoy it with a couple nice but less expensive shirts. With the rest of the money you can buy a new pair of shoes, ties, or whatever

Even if I had millions I can't see myself spending that much money on one shirt. There is a Brooks Brother's outlet by me and I get my shirts there for around $90 a piece.
