      YMMV.

      The unbranded clothes can easily be Temu tissue-paper quality or so rough on the skin as to cause abrasions after walking around in them.

      Branded clothing tend to have a higher floor, at least.

        You know that the REAL quality clothes don’t have labels? The stuff you buy at a tailor never looks fancy nor dons cool labels.

        Also most fashion-brands are really shitty quality, made in Bangladesh, too. Because they know people only care for labels, not real quality.

          Sticking a label on a piece of clothing doesn’t change it’s quality.

          Textile mills in Bangladesh produce a wide range of qualities.

            No, that was my point. They do that on cheap shit, even the expensive cheap shit. In tendency ofc, there surely might be some line of some fashion-brand that isn’t crap.

            Might be, but you won’t find the upper range in fashion-brands. But you’re free to replace Bangladesh with any other cheap slave-country that produce clothes for us.

              They do that on cheap shit

              Polo puts the polo brand on everything. Ralph Lauren, GAP, etc.

              I’ve got a Ralph Lauren shirt from the 1990s that I still wear because its held up so well.

              you won’t find the upper range in fashion-brands

              Are you talking about bespoke tailoring? Even they get their fabric from Bangladesh.

                Sure. And Lacoste was “made in France” at that time too. Nowadays the prices went up, the quality down. I would too, knowing people will buy it anyway, as long as my logo is on it

                Are you talking about bespoke tailoring? Even they get their fabric from Bangladesh.

                Well, if they do, then they lie. But I surely can’t speak for them all. And wouldn’t really matter, as they stand in for the quality for life. Anyhow, that wasn’t meant as if Bangladeshi couldn’t do good stuff. They sure could.
