I would really like to see how this compares to the budget spent on clothes for the other candidates ...

Even though most people would not notice the difference between a $250 suit and a $10,000 suit, I wouldn't be surprised if Obama/McCain/Biden were given several multi-thousand dollar suits because the people who do notice the difference actually care a lot.

Too long, didn't read?

If Palin's $2,500 Valentino jacket seems expensive, consider that Barack Obama wears Hart Schaffner Marx suits that retail for about $1,500. John McCain consistently wears $520 Salvatore Ferragamo loafers, while Vanity Fair editors estimated that one outfit worn by Cindy McCain cost $313,100, including diamond earrings and pearl necklace.

 

I wasn't that interested in individual items, I was wondering about the cost of the whole wardrobe ...
