I’ve gotten more comfortable with searching out higher prices (for clothing & other goods). If the person who made That Thing is being paid a living wage, and if it’s well-made, it’s going to cost substantially more than what I’ve gotten used to.

(I thank @patrickrhone for pointing me in the costly but right direction re clothing.)
