Clothing!

All,

Anybody that knows me will tell you that I like to spend money. However, I don't much like spending it on clothing. I'd rather put that money into toys (cars ,trucks, boats, cycles, electronics etc).

I still want to look decent. I have a found some great clothing at of all places, Academy Sports and Outdoors. They have a line of clothing , ironically named "Austin". They have some very reasonably priced clothing that looks nice and lasts. In particular, they make a Performance Polo, that is some upgraded cotton material that comes out of the dryer looking great everytime, and still looks good after many wears and washes. I went back today and bought like 6 more of these shirts in all different colors (solids). Anyway, these shirts are $12.99 here locally. Academy also has the best prices on jeans, Levis, Wranglers, lee and even the Austin brand again.

I also got a sweet leather coat for $89.99. It's nice to get 8 shirts and a leather jacket for about $200.

Just some advice for those of you that share my philosophy on clothes.

Being in the process of shrinking, I find my wardrobe barren of clothes that fit.. I need to see how much smaller I am going to get before I spend money on the replacements.. I like to have at least 50 shirts, as many cargo pants, and dockers, with a few pairs of jeans, shorts and whatever.. I prefer leather to wear than any other jacket material, so usually have at least 8 of them around. We sold a good amount of my old clothes on ebay, so somebody got some really nice clothing...

Getting the prices you mention would be sweet.
