For the niche, bonobos is not super expensive. You are obviously not the target market. A lot of the time, clothes really do make the man.

If you don't see the value in clothes I don't see why you're making value judgements. A similar analogy would be "Chipotles is super expensive, you can get the same thing for much cheaper at Applebees with a coupon", missing the point that Chipotle is competing with restaurants that are far more expensive.

Tangential to your point, but you seem to have reversed “Chipotle” and “Applebees” here.
