Though I do appreciate good quality clothing though and do follow the "higher quality, less quantity" approach.

Wait till you guys get Gilt....
I have a funny story. One of my friends' uncle is a VP of a multi-billion dollar tech company (base salary in the millions) and drove a 12 year old Toyota Corrola to work. His colleagues were so annoyed that he drove that POS car and parked in the exec parking lot with their Tesla's and Lamb and those other exclusive cars that 6 of them pooled together and bought him a brand new, BMW sports car. (Don't know the model or anything, just know it was >$140k) The condition was that he could have the car as long as he never drives that POS to work again.

I get to wear t-shirts, jeans and runners to work too.
