This is awesome. I have been trying to track similar things mainly to identify brands of cloths that actually last long enough to be worth it.

How do you keep the discipline to do this?

I also assume it is very nice to have such list if something gets broken/torn/lost and you need to buy a replacement right aways.

How much testing did it took Arive to such stable set?

In 2021 I bought 12 different types of printing blanks (iirc it cost $150 for everything) of various fits, gsm and fabrics to test my preferences and then stuck with the tshirt I preferred the most. Donated/worn out the rest, and only purchased the one I liked moving forward. I've been lucky with other purchases but those were also guided by gear recommendations from niche subreddits and picking whatever was on discount among them. And because I buy them on a discount, it's usually not THAT big of a hit to the pockets after reselling them if I don't like them for whatever reason (other than durability which there's no getting around to. seams, stitching, materials etc are a good tell, however).

There's always some randomness, for example I once had to rush to H&M for an emergency blazer when I showed up to an university event in a tshirt and the Queen of Denmark arrived. I got a bit drunk that evening but I remember I walked home in the evening without it.

I've been experimenting with minimalism by tracking every non-consumable purchase (clothing, electronics, etc.) for a few years. There's no clear patterns in the spending habits that have emerged yet, but the practice itself has been surprisingly effective at curbing unnecessary/impulse buys. I finally got around to visualizing the data this week and wanted to share with you guys.
