Lol no those days are long over. Now everyone can afford clothing designed to be worn just once or twice and made from plastic.
And the worst part is, even though it started with “fast fashion” brands like Shein, now every brand has low quality plastic clothes. You can pay more if you want, but you’re getting polyester.
And let’s say you take out a second mortgage and spring for real silk, wool, cotton, or linen, you’re still going to get shitty quality construction.
I’ve heard the average length of the individual fibers even in ‘good’ fabric is also often shorter than they used to be, so even with good construction, the fabric itself wears out sooner. As long as clothing is so unregulated, it’s a race to the bottom.
This is just not true, I have reasonably priced cotton and linen clothing. Some is newer but some is 5+ years old and looks fine after almost 100 wears. I’m looking at it in my closet right now.
