It's really cool that 99% of products aren't even what they say they are. Very cool to spend money on something and then get something totally different.

It doesn't matter where it's from or how much you spend either, everything is either low quality or not what it said it was.

I love capitalism

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."
