Would you let your public school kid wear a very expensive item of clothing to school?

Just to be very clear, no one cares about your rich and elite rugrats.

It's so funny I'm seeing this post because I was just surfing through Instagram and saw this photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/BfVomW6l3B9/?taken-by=dbodbo69

It's of David Boreanaz's son wearing a Gucci tiger sweater and you know, seeing it on a teen, I don't hate it. I feel like there's a small age gap to wear that and probably 16-22 is the window.

DC even had kind teachers and staff looking all over school for it. That doesn't sound like a big deal but it is to me. Our kids are not allowed to wear expensive items to school anymore.

Every kid in Loudoun County has a North Face- which isn't special. Someone probably just thought it was theirs.

I appreciate this thread for educating me about the existence of the Gucci tiger sweater. The tiger looks a lot like my high school mascot tiger, and the sweater reminds me of the ones the cheerleaders wore when I was in school.

I'd definitely let him wear it b/c, as others have said, if it gets lost or torn or whatever who cares? You're not going to replace it. And, if you didn't let him wear it, it's not like it's going to appreciate in value and he will pass it down to his heirs. If your concern is just that he looks douchey, that's a good reason to breathe and say to yourself "My son is his own person, he gets to look douchey if that's what he chooses, may I be so fortunate that his clothing is the choice he makes that is the most difficult for me to deal with."
