For years now I have been trying to find clothes that aren't junk. I don't have outrageous demands, I want maybe 3 tshirts, 3 blouses, and 3 pairs of jeans or other robust pants.
All I want is clothing that fits, is made of long and strong fibres, like good cotton or linen. Stitched with modest skill. I am prepared to pay for it, but I expect it to last at least 5 years regular wearing and ideally around 10.
I know this isn't ridiculous because I have clothing from 15 years ago which while worn is still more than adequate to so yard work in.
For the life of me, no matter the budget or brand, I can only find garbage quality potato sack clothing or overpriced crudely made things that are at least of somewhat acceptable weave. It is driving me crazy, I just want clothing of the same quality a farmer a century ago might have had. This is not an outrageous demand!
100%. I keep researching brands to wear, and every time there is a good one, there's someone who says, "They used to be good but their quality has really gone downhill."
