#solutions yourself out of that. and it’s frustrating that every conversation turns into Try Thrifting! like yes that should be PART of

Annoying that the response to deeply legitimate complaints about the quality of clothing being mass produced for all price points (even expensive brands have gotten worse) is to ALWAYS harp on buying second hand and shopping at thrift stores. When that requires much more luck, patience, free time, travel, etc than having quality clothes available anywhere the way they were in living memory, AND those quality second hand clothing become a nonrenewable resource if nothing of quality is being made. Buying thrifted clothes is NOT a long term solution to the fact that even the fabric available at fabric stores is worse than it used to be.
