Some Anko items were more expensive like tracksuit pants at $15 and iirc boots could be like $30-40. Still looking back it should have been a bad sign.

We used to be able to get $15 trackie dacks in the 90’s.
I had a rich surfer mate who would bring a few bags of them when we went camping; He would put in a new pair every night when it started to get cold, and then in the morning, would cut them down into a new pair of board shorts.
However, taking into consideration our ridiculous inflation and COL increases, that would be the equivalent of $60 trackie dacks nowadays.

Oh man why would you cut up good clothes? Especially every day?
Even if something cost me a few dollars I wear it til it falls apart

Because he didn’t want to do any washing when he got home.
I know other people who would just buy a new 7-pack of underpants every week!

Wearing clothing without washing it first is NOT advisable.
When a label reads, "wash before wearing," it is a safety instruction.
If one wishes to wear new underpants that are "factory fresh" complete with formaldehyde, go for it. Just don't act surprised when diagnosed with leukaemia...
