I find it frustrating that men get a higher quality shirt at a lower cost. To get a cashmere or wool sweater for a woman, it's triple the cost of the mens. Why? I have no answer to this, but I have found a few places to get higher quality at non-designer prices.

Anyway, I've searched for quality clothes that last and don't cost more than seems fair. This is based on many factors. They are not the cheapest finds, but they're the quality finds I'm willing to pay their prices for. I also watch items online and buy them when they go on sale at * locations.

Here's a list of my favorites:

Club Monaco*
