[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly, I started noticing a decline in clothing quality across the board right after I finished grad school and finally had money to spend.  I walk into a store and cannot find stuff to buy - unbelievable![/quote]

It's a conspiracy. Clothing is no longer made to last. It is made to sag and fall apart to keep us (mainly women) to buy crap and also push the more is better mindset. Nothing is wrong with having a lot of stuff, but if it is a lot of cheap crap, no thanks.
I have a few pieces of clothing from 50's, 60's,70's some from older female relatives that retired long ago and passed them on. All are made very well. They look and feel great! My mom said back in her day or at least how she was raised quality was emphasized over quantity. She didn't have 30 skirts, just 3, but those 3 were stylish, well made and indestructible. I get compliments every time I wear vintage.  My look isn't vintage. The few items I have look modern, but I find myself hunting around for simple vintage items that are made so much better than what I find now.[/quote]

I have been doing the same thing. Hunting for vintage items that look modern. The fabric quality is so much higher. [/quote]
