Is it really worth $60 bucks for comfort?

Saw this on MSN today. Pay 3 times as much and get a bra that "fits" (Average bra today is about $20 bucks). Think its time to start burning them again, and go "free". (Its sure a lot cheaper, lol) :P .

Or one could just shop around and find something on the market that works of one's "snowflakes". I think I may start using the term snowflakes, it amuses me. See, the benefit of a capitalist society is that somebody wants to sell you a bra badly enough that they will design one that you like. Strangely, the opposite is currently happening in footwear. Used to be that a guy could go into a store, get fitted and brought a selection of shoes to fit his normal, narrow or wide feet. Now, you wander in, grab a size 11 off the shelf and hope you don't slide out of it.

I need to get hats fitted... Ego size and all. but on the topic of odd sizes, I found a pair of pants at the store today with a 28 inch waist and a 38 inch inseam. That is a size for a flagpole.
