Here's my problem with 90% of my cheap clothes.
Pants: Most jeans are ok but usually can't find any that aren't tight arund the ankles, Other kinds of pants tend to get holes in the pockets early and have easily breakable zippers.
Shoes: Hard as hell, not very stylish and very easily damaged.
Shirts: T-shirts fade really quick and thread isn't very good so the armpit rips easily. Button up shirts have the same thread problem plus thread on buttons.
Hats: I've never found a hat as confortable as a nike hat. They are pretty durable, and fit my head perfectly whether it's forward or backwards. Most cheap hats seem like they are too deep or not deep enough, I've never liked a cheap hat good enough to buy it so I have no idea about quality.
Is it worth the money to buy brand name clothes? Maybe, Maybe not. I wouldn't buy a 200$ shirt unless It was going to last 6-7 years, I would buy a 30$ that I know is going to last longer than the 3 10$ ones from walmart.
For me it has nothing to do with the brand. I don't buy really expensive clothes and I don't toss out all my clothes and start over every year. I wear my clothes until they don't fit anymore or are damaged. If I have to pay 2x as much for a shirt I expect that I'll be wearing it 2 times longer.
Why is that whenever I post in a thead like this it feels like I'm defending myself for buying what I like... hmm
