I agree on the "phase".

Our daughter has always had hand-me-downs from friends and
second hand stores, and hasn't cared at all until just a few
months ago.

The reason is her classmates, who now enter the phase of
being obsessed with who is popular (at age 10-11) and are
making her life hard.

She gets made fun of for her clothes now, and kids can be
really cruel!

So, I emphasize with Ron and his way of trying to talk down
his stuff before someone else does!
