So have you ever wondered what goes into an expensive item versus a very cheap item? Well, that's kind of what I'm thinking about doing in today's video. So today, what I want to do is take $100 and go into several different stores at different price points, anything from the cheapest store to the more expensive store and see what we can buy with that $100 build on best thing we can buy in each store and talk about value, quality, fit, and if it's worth buying the higher quality expensive price tag. So that's what we're going to be doing today. So the first store we're going to start is Forever 21. Here's a store where you could probably get a t-shirt for like $3. And the idea is to see what type of value, quality, and quantity you can get at each store. So obviously this one, you're pretty much know we're going to get a lot of quantity but we're going to get a lot of value. Let's find out. So just finish at Forever 21. Let's see exactly how much value we can get out. And this is what I got from Forever 21. So for around $85, I was able to compose a whole outfit and get an extra top, leaving me with around $15 to either go get some lunch or get a fresh new haircut. The only problem with Forever 21, which you can already see off the back and almost any lower tier brand, is that the quality is not so good. So if you see the chinos, they're already fit skin tight. After the first wash, never be able to wear them again. The t-shirt, same thing. This t-shirt I might get one, maybe two uses out of it. After a couple washes, it's just going to be too tight and it's just no longer usable. So while on lower quality clothing, you do get a lot more quantity, the quality is just not there sometime. However, all in all, still not bad play getting a whole outfit and an extra top for only $85. I'm going to be doing is H&M. So H&M is an interesting store because I think it's a little bit pricier than Forever 21, but you might be getting a little more quality, more value. I don't know. So that's what we're going to be looking at today. So you can already see that the prices are significantly higher. This is for one t-shirt, $18, whereas for F21, it was $9. You know? So we are finally done at H&M. Let me show you exactly what I got. This whole look costs around $98 and we were only able to get two items. We got this long sleeve polo, which in my opinion looks very elegant. It's a hundred percent wool. It just feels very luxurious. So it definitely is a good pick up that's not going to wear down after one or two wears. We got these pinstrap trousers which do fit a little bit tight, but they are made with a higher quality wool than the lower priced H&M trousers that they have available. So yes, you are paying more. Yes, you're also getting a little bit less, but you're still getting essential items that you can wear multiple times. In my opinion, look great. All right, guys. So our third and what I would call probably middle-tier type of brand will be J-Crew. You're going to automatically see prices starting to go up. You're going to get less quantity, but your quality should be going up as well. And that's the whole point of this video. That's what should be happening. Let's test it and see if that is what is happening. So let's go in, see what a hundred dollars can get us. Come on. So the cool thing with J-Crew here is that they're all basic, they're like basics that men should have, you know, chinos that are regular colors or dress shirts that are regular color. Yes, you're going to be getting less, but these less pieces are going to be used more in type of thing, you know? All right, guys. So we are out of J-Crew. Definitely got some good pickups, but not as much as we've been getting lately. We actually went over about four dollars, 104 was a total. We got a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. It may be simple, but both are very high quality. Now while quantity is significantly less, we definitely think I believe got a lot of value, especially in the jeans because these are not your disposable type of brands. This brand usually lasts you a very long time, even though you're paying a little bit more. Now while not every item in J-Crew is amazing quality, certain pieces like their chinos and their jeans and their dress shirts are very well made and do last a very long time. All right, so for our final store before we can no longer buy anything, it's probably going to be Hugo Boss. Obviously the prices are going to be out the roof, but let's see exactly how much value we can get with just a hundred dollars. So you can already see the prices starting up. I got, but I'm actually surprised. A hundred dollar t-shirt, anyone? Don't let this back fool you. And when I came out with actually surprisingly, I thought I was only going to come out with a tie, but even those were too pricey. I had to go to the sales section and I was able to find this t-shirt for a hundred dollars. So it came out, it was like 98 with tags that ended up being like 103 or something. So definitely a very expensive t-shirt, definitely not worth it. Now when you feel a t-shirt in your hand, you can see that it's a sturdier, more quality fabric. I haven't washed it nor have I ever owned Hugo Boss t-shirt, so I don't know how it's going to hold up. But this brings us to the moral of the video. That just because it's a high end brand doesn't necessarily mean you're getting the best value. As you start spending more per item, it's kind of like you start getting the finishing returns. They can preach all the quality and craftsmanship they want, but it gets to a point that it's almost unnoticeable, the price difference. So let me show you exactly what I'm talking about. So of course the first store that we started with was Forever 21. We got this t-shirt, it was $9. This is the type of t-shirt that you'll wash at once. It shrinks very cheap t-shirt. I think it's made into Philippines. Then you start spending a little bit more for your tops. And say you go to J-Coo and you pick up a t-shirt like this one and it was $25. So yes, it's over double the price. But as soon as you wear a t-shirt like this that you spend double the price on, you can instantly feel the difference on it, feel the quality on it, and know that it's going to last you more than one, two, or three washes. And that's where investing a little bit more in quality becomes useful. However, in my opinion, when it becomes useless is when you start paying more for brand than for quality and that's where this Hugo Boss T comes in. So if you put these two side by side, I'm pretty sure both of them are going to last around the same time. Yet this t-shirt was $100. Just four times the price of this single t-shirt. And where you start getting like I said, diminishing returns that yeah, you're getting more, but it's not really that satisfying and you're not getting the value. So I hope that video was informative and it was interesting to see what you could get at different types of store and different type of price points.
