Honestly I'd gladly pay more if the textile quality was better. You can't fucking get good textiles anymore, and the whole art of knowing and understanding textiles is mostly lost on the average person. That includes me!
We're all buying the cloth equivalent of those super cheap flimsy rubbish bin liners that tear down the seams as you try to insert them in the bin, but so many don't even know better that we just accept it.
Agreed. Good textiles, I don't believe they exist anymore. Like they just burned the factory down or something. When I was starting out in the trades, I'd buy all my pants from thrift stores. Grease, oil, general dirt, etc, not only did the old denim last longer than anything i bought new, it washed way better. My stained clothes would actually be like 80-90% stain free out of the wash. The new stuff after a day of work became permanent work pants they just never washed out.
Come to think of it, it is probably all the damn synthetic fiber the add now that binds tightly to the petroleum molecules. Unlike the fully natural stuff in the past that can actually release the stain.
