[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High priced clothing doesn't mean high quality.

Last summer I was shopping for sweater coats. They were anywhere from $250 up depending on where you shopped. The longer more chunkier the higher the price. One day I spent hours looking for those then came upon the exact same sweater coat I wanted for, get this, $30. They looked just like the high end kind I wanted but wouldn't pay for. So I ordered one of each color. When I got them, they exceeded my expectations. Not only where they well made but they were the best fitting long sweaters I ever owned.

Made in China. Shoot me. Nearly everything I own was made in China. So what. I paid less for 5 sweater coats than I would have buying one. And I have washed them. They have yet to fall apart. I figure for $30, if they last one cold season, I got my money's worth.

I refuse to be a label snob and pay hundreds of dollars for a piece of clothing. What I saved can be used to buy more next year.

BTW, I have been stopped by other women while shopping and asked where I got the sweater. You should see their faces when I tell them where they come from.

Such ignorance. Once upon a time, yes, a better label generally meant better clothing. Better fabrics, stronger, nicer thread, better seams, better patterns, more tailoring, better working conditions and pay for all involved. It's not being a "label snob" to care about these things. I own mostly made in China clothing, too, but I don't brag about it, I buy less and less every year and am now picking Made in America labels.[/quote]
