If that dude comes in guns blazing because I called him a doofus for ordering 6,690 pairs of pants in different colors, I’d be surprised.

But maybe he will. I don’t really care enough to see it through though. Sorry to let you down here. Hahahaha.

I see you typing, @Very.chipper, and I’ll just apologize right away. Blame that idiot wedges.

Sorry. I was just playing around.

People have been called far worse than “doofus” on this blog.

I know and I was just kidding anyway, but I’m not trying to start any shit.

Boy the corona sales last year were a fun time! I ordered 45-50 pairs of JCrew pants to get all the sizes/colors. And I wear them basically every day to this day. I also have an unopened box under my bed of backups (I went back and reordered a back up pair of each color when they went back on sale in August).

Then, at the end of the Peter Millar sale I ordered every shirt they had in medium in stock (think it was 48 in the end). Only let myself keep 5-6 (of which I think I’ve only worn one)… :sweat_smile: the pants, though, are getting great use.

Also, of note, I have done basically 0 shopping this year of any sort. I got it out of my system last year hopefully. Or maybe I’ve just replaced it with home improvement shopping for the bee place… I have a bad habit of buy 3 shower heads, 4 towel racks, 4 solar lights, etc. whenever they go on sale at Costco.

I’ve met you before so I’m not exactly guessing here - this is under-35 privilege if I’ve ever seen it.

I have pants I bought last year that trembled when I went to try them on last week.

Bonobos or Greyson pants only. Thank you very much whoever chooses me.

If someone else is buying I might as well get some nice ones.

Well I didn’t read back to see that was supposed to be stirring shit. I thought we were reminiscing on good times :laughing: let’s just say I had far too much time on my hands last year. I basically played golf and shopped online. In two orders I “spent” $4500 on jcrew/pm (most was returned). Credit card statements were interesting

The real question here is will the Refuge be alive long enough for us to discuss @Very.chipper on Hoarders?

I sure hope so.

Would pay $90 for a Serial style podcast where each of these is a different episode

Maybe in the Style of “How I Built This” but “How I Bought This.”

I can’t imagine spending, what could be equivalent to 1.5-2x my monthly mortgage online shopping to try pants in one go.

Especially with the severe downturn in J Crew quality over the last 5 years.

Go to Zara like an adult
