[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like all clothing these days is crappy. I have clothes from ten years ago that have held up, whereas new purchases seem to barely last a season. [/quote]

Completely agree. And it's going downhill fast across the entire spectrum, from high-end to Walmart.

I was cleaning DD's closet recently and fished out a couple of Gap and Old Navy t-shirts purchased 4 years ago. Compared to what I bought from them recently, stuff dating back 4 years is excellent - made of thick cotton, washed well and generally looks like new. Long-sleeve shirts I got this fall are extremely thin and have already shrunk. Bummer.

Agree with this.  DD's wardrobe is primarily hand-me-downs from her older cousin (about 7 yrs older), and everything still looks amazing from Gap to much higher end brands.  The couple of Gap items I've bought her recently have fallen apart after less than a season.  I actually noticed the same thing with maternity clothes my sister saved for me.  I went out and bought the exact same work pants my sister had worn through two pregnancies before giving them to me in a second color because I liked them so much (same brand and style), and I ended up having to return them since the fabric was so much cheaper I couldn't even see myself wearing them to work once.

It's astonishing how poorly made clothes have been recently.
