| Topic | Most clothes are such poor quality fabrics nowadays |

Im lucky if I can wear something twice before the fabric starts pilling. Even when I get stuff thats 100% cotton it seems like the clothes start to wear much faster than fabrics from years back. While it doesn't seem quite that bad from what I've seen, most things don't seem to last. I've even had jeans rip before. hypnox posted... And tee shirts, you buy good brands and they'll last you forever. They really don't. The handful of t-shirts from higher end companies (like Tommy Hilfiger) didn't last substantially longer. T-shirts in general just don't last the way that button-downs do. Granted, for a long time, my t-shirts were getting more wear because I mostly telecommuted for a few years. hypnox posted... People need to learn, buying a five dollar shirt will get you five dollars worth of shirt. In many cases, a five-dollar shirt is made at the same Chinese factory that produces twenty-dollar or even fifty-dollar shirts for other companies. Riptor posted... I air dry any shirts I want to last a while. I don't scientifically know if drying makes a difference, but in my mind it does. And in practice, those air dried shirts last forever. During the cooler months, I'll sometimes try to wear things twice before washing them just to extend their lifespan a bit --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
