[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must be the planet's biggest dumbass and un-fashionista. I've never even heard of disposable clothes. Or wearing something once and and then disposing of it. This thread is bizarre.  [/quote]

There's a whole book about it, http://www.overdressedthebook.com. And these people who throw their clothes away like this are literally contributing to every major problem in the world right now.

It's a damn shame that Target has gone all to hell trying to keep up with Walmart. Back in the day (waaaay back, in the early to mid 90s), the clothes were very well made - frequently in America. In just the last few years, their T-shirts have gone from staples that I could wear for three years to rags in weeks.[/quote]

Back in the day, the Gap also made some decent-quality clothes. My old black T-shirt from them still looks wearable.. unlike their new 'creations' that fall apart after one wash.

PP, I also read that book. Made me cringe. Yes, the quality of clothing's gone downhill pretty much across the board, but it's still possible to find well-made items and wear them more than once. Even more than twice (gasp!). [/quote]
