Calculate cost per wear from an actual record

Keep the numerator explicit

Add the amount actually paid and any care or repair costs you choose to include. Do not insert a fictional cleaning rate or a comparison-retail value as though it were your expense.

Count actual wears consistently

Choose a consistent meaning for one wear and keep your own record. This site has not worn the named products. A garment kept in a cupboard does not accumulate wears because a marketing description says versatile.

Keep the conclusion narrow

Total recorded expense divided by recorded wears is a retrospective ratio, not proof of quality, durability, sustainability or personal value. It cannot guarantee the cost of a future purchase.

Before you decide

• Enter actual paid costs
• Use recorded whole wears
• Do not promise a future lifetime
