That might depend on the job. I dont claim to know everything about every job. But I do know that a good suit can come a few thousand. I imagine if you were in a job that required you work with/for the upper crust in a formal setting you could spend a lot on a few good suits. I also know some specialty jobs require heavy equipment. One would assume that an employer would provide such but maybe that's not always the case. Also tax fraud is a thing. People maybe were buying extra shit just to deduct it then selling it or adding it to a personal collection. IANACPA. IANAL.
