Interesting data, but it seems overly complex and could easily be simplified by having less clothes. Example I have so few shirts that I wear each one on a weekly basis. Because of the frequency I quickly figure out when a brand is not of quality and switch when necessary.

It also makes determining cost per wear much easier. If a shirt makes it through the year then the cost per wear is price/52.

If you don’t use the dryer your clothes will last longer and not fade either, dress shirts keep their sheen as well

Man this hit me right after discovering https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com. I feel like I need to start tracking thing I buy and how much I use them to really get a handle on my con00merism problem.

I wonder if there were any brands or items that were outliers in the cost to value metric? I prefer to buy nicer things that last a long time, but clothing is an area where cost is only loosely coupled with quality. Spending more doesn’t always get you more.

I also tracked my clothing for three years, but not to evaluate expenditures. I recorded what I wore while cycling along with the weather conditions that day and notes about how my clothes performed. When I want to go for a ride, I check the weather and then check my spreadsheet for a day with similar conditions.

I assume the data was manually logged?

It’d be cool to have visual detection via a camera
