I’m very particular to the point my wife rarely even buys me a shirt as a gift. We have fundamentally different views on clothes

I want to buy a shirt to wear 1.25 billion times and only toss when it has holes. I want it to look good and fit perfectly every time. Example: my work shirts are all custom fit and made as are my suits and sport coats. I have ten shirts and will wear each hundreds of times over the 3-5 years they last. I’m willing to spend a lot of money on these items (relative to my board modest income). She chases trends.
This year I’ve purchased: 2 pair of shorts, 2 work shirts, 3 t-shirts, 2 pair of shoes, 2 button down short sleeve shirts. I’m considering a pair of work pants as my final 2026 clothes purchase. She buys that much every month or two.
Socks, underwear, underwear shirts are as needed of course.

My wardrobe is 95% from Costco, and my wife is almost always with me, but it's a collective journey shared among me, my wife, and the wonderful Costco team member who is closest to the men's section of the warehouse (nm)

You assume incorrectly.

Maybe most men are less concerned about how they look clothes-wise vs women?

My wife buys 100% of my wardrobe (save the M gear). I like everything she buys and I never have to think about what I’m wearing. It’s amazing.*

not only have you mentioned it before, I think I would note it to be your single largest pet peeve *

What are some examples? I mean Sarah Harbaugh with the pants commercial is one, but I can't really think of others.*
