What are some ways in which expensive products can be worse than cheaper ones? Examples that come to my mind: * Expensive clothes can be much less convenient to clean * In expensive hotel rooms it's often harder to figure out how to turn off all the lights * Expensive restaurants often have less choice in menus

* but expensive clothes can (not always) feel better because of better fabrics * but are cleaner, smell better, offer more services, better food * but may be the result of an expert making the choice for you. Changing specs may result in increased cost but may come with other improvements.

Also, in some cases the dimension an expensive product is worse than a cheap one is not important to the wealthy buyer. Silk clothes last less than denim? The person who buys silk clothed has money to buy a new one when it's destroyed. Limo harder to drive, but the owner does not drive it.

For me the most pleasant fabric is the Uniqlo airism T shirts, which are $15 each!
