This is kind of an "anecdotal evidence" but after moving from Poland to Germany (aka from one of the poorest countries of the European Union to one of the richest in the world), both my mother and I noticed the difference in clothes bought in both countries, especially visible while ironing. In both countries, we'd buy in pretty much same type of stores (basically fast fashion standard brands). Turns out pieces bought in Poland twist more frequently than those bought in Germany, even despite the fact that they cost pretty much the same, if you convert the currency (like a similar piece in the same brand's stores would cost 10 EUR or 45 PLN, with 1 EUR = 4.5 PLN). I only understood why it was the case after I first learned about how you line up pieces of a clothing and the directions of the fabric.

I've found out last year about a Rock Revival brand of jeans that fits me perfectly - they have thick textile/canvas, the seem is flat and sewn with thick threads, and most of the time the seems are lined properly - and you can buy them at Nordstrom Rack (or other outlets, I guess, too - but this is where I've bought them) for around 70$. Not sure if that's too much for some people, but for me it's worth to have only two of those jeans instead of various bad-quality ones. I hope I will be able to buy them even after I move out of North America.

Brazilian jeans are very well made and fit to the body really good. One woman complimented my pair of jeans other day and she asked where I bought, but I told her I didn't remember because they were 4 years old. So, we have good brands and they have high quality and the "premium products". the first one is thicker, you can feel the weight and how the fibers don't have much space between them; good sewing inside and out. The second one is a little bit lighter and is rougher to the touch and can have some errors of sewing.. when washed very often, tend to be less durable. That's how I check them out to see if they are good quality. Always wash denim separately.. just denim clothes in the washer. And, if they are black denim, put a little bit of salt in the washer once each four times washing it so the color will last longer

I feel like all the "high street brands" are all medium or low quality - even the "premium" high street brands that are changing $200 for a coat. Example - I saw a nice looking coat the other day, $200, I went to try it on and then noticed: 1) Completely unlined. It's just a fake suede type of material on the outer, with no lining, at all. b) No sealed hems - everything is exposed once you look inside the jacket. It just looks so cheaply made. And yet, they charge $200 for it. I see dresses and basic pieces priced highly - and then you look at them closely, and the fabrics are thin and cheap (far too many see-through dresses!) and everything is poorly hemmed and stitched. And yet you're paying a 'premium' on them. The only good quality seem to be handmade designer pieces - but that's waaaaay too muh money.

I'm a knitter and I consider pretty much everything I make handwash, simply because I'm not going to spend countless hours knitting up a sweater just for it to felt and shrink in the washer. Quite often, fibers that require special treatment have a lot of other advantages that completely make up for that (for example, some types of wool don't need to be washed as often, simply because smells dont 'stick' to them, so hanging them outside over night might be enough.)

At my age sewing is now a hobby as well as a good way to keep fingers and hands going, a plus on all sides I also enjoy making things, not just clothes but also soft furnishing or anything else that comes to mind, with three machines plus two knitting machines and heaven knows how many knitting needles and crochet hooks which I have gathered over the years I will never be short of tools also I am a fabric and yarn addict, it all helps.

If you slightly tug at the fabric you can determine in which direction it naturally wants to stretch.

Sometimes when people bring me stuff to alter, I give it back better than when they brought it to me. Sadly, I can’t fix poor cut, like off-grain cuts. But I can make better seams and hems that will stay put longer.

Maybe we have political correctness to thank for that (and entire part of the society that convinces fat people that it is okay to be unhealthily fat and wear tights - looking grotesquely, instead of teaching them to be healthy) >_> Feeling good in your healthy body is one thing, but pulling wool over someone's eyes and telling them that they should feel good about obese themselves is completely another. And before someone attacks me for prejudice or fat-shaming, saying that many obese people are like that because of genetics and it's not their fault - my partner has inherited slower metabolism and high cholesterol from his mother, which he could use as an excuse to get fat, but he doesn't. He is aware that he has to take more careful care than most of the people about what he eats, and to have more exercise, which he - surprise! - is not too lazy to do, and therefore isn't obese or anywhere near being fat. Btw. if people felt more shame about many selfish, bad behaviours, it would prevent them from behaving like that and thus make the world a better place for everyone. Pardon the digression.

I grew up in the 70's. Synthetics were all the rage but they were far better quality than what's sold today; they draped better and clothing was constructed well. In the 80's there was a backlash - everything was natural fiber, top quality natural fiber. I sigh when I remember. Nowadays I can't find anything natural fiber and if by chance miracle I do, either it is a recycled fabric (neither breathable nor absorbant) or it is mixed with synthetic fiber, or it's obscenely expensive. Good clothes are now only for the elite.

I've shown your videos to my friend and we agreed that buying good quality clothing is a better option... but here's a question: where? What are some of the brands or manufacturers you'd recommend? Sometimes, even a name that used to stand for quality ends up being so commercialized that a consumer is paying for the name more than actual quality. We've gone over what's available to us in Slovenia and Austria, and concluded there's very few options, and even those usually have styles that don't fit us. I don't mind paying more for a piece of clothing if I can be sure it will stay the way it's meant to even after wear and wash, but I really haven't a clue and I've sometimes paid more only to still have to contend with things that were just not made to last.

I know, there are some quality goods in Parndorf Outlet near the Vienne. At least 7 Years ago they were. But the best way is to learn yourself to compare quality of different things. For example, I use a T-Shirt by NAPAPIRJI for about 8 Years and it still looks good (actually it was in vintage style since the beginning :)), but now I do not see the same quality T-Shirts in their Shops. Also it depends on your preferences, of course. Probably I'm kind of a little bit "conservative" guy, who can by the same goods for decades ))) I mean, the same topsiders by Timberland, the same T-Shirts by Fruit of The Loom and Hanes, hoodies from Hanes etc.... )))

I categorically refuse to buy branded (and overpriced!) stuff if I can get the same or even better quality from a non-marketed brand. In my opinion, "branded" stuff nowadays are just a status symbol intended for those that lack in some other (more important) things.

@@Xandros999 Polyester is good for soaking up sweat so that it doesn't drench and weigh you down like natural fabrics do. It's the reason why most work-out/sports close are made of it. However, because it's not natural, it doesn't breathe; so it can cause sweating and also holds on to the bacteria that is in sweat. This leads to body odor smell coming from the fabric; even after it's been washed. After wearing polyester and sweating in it for some time, the washing machine cannot wash out the bacteria trapped in the fabric. It retains the oils of sweat where the bacteria live, but not the water. It's best to wash polyester with a cup of baking soda (with your soap) and also add a cup of vinegar to the baking soda and soap for really bad trapped odors. But yeah, it can cause sweating as it laps it up like a champ as well.
