sometimes they’re recycled. I once, out of necessity, wore a fatigue shirt that was new and in good shape except for that hole in it with a bit of dried blood around it
It should be pointed out, that a double jousting death is very rare. USUALLY someone has a longer arm, or better aim, and kills the person first. ALSO … they usually wear armour, and have a shield…
Even then, they use protective clothing, and the tips are blunted (well, actually, a small round ball really.) See an image of proper fencing attire: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/5792006290_16729f271c.jpg

I really don’t think you’ll have to worry about what the wife is going to say. You’ve had it.

Don’t fence me in!
Don’t worry about being killed by your wife. Worry about the dry cleaning cost and mending your new shirt will need so they can bury you in it.
