There are also the times you don't feel like wasting money when you have old clothes just lying around that might actually work.
I never consider spending a bit of extra on garb to be a waste of money. If it's for something you truly enjoy doing and it adds to the atmosphere and realism of the game, it's definately worth it. You just feel more in-character, which makes everyone around you feel more in-character, thus intensifying the fantasty/historical/whatever experience. Good garb just results in a better time to be had over all. I'm not saying you can't get good garb from a ripped up shirt or old odds and ends laying around the house (some of my best garb is from recycled clothing), just that on the whole most people who take this garb route are only doing it to get by on the bare minimum and aren't really willing to make a concious effort to develop their personas or at the very least to fit with the theme of the event/game.
I didn't mean it as a "waste of money." What I meant was that sometimes there are other things people need to spend money on things other than garb. Right now I don't have money to spend on garb at all.....I barely have enough to buy food for myself right now lol. I am excited to see everyone in gear though.
