        YMMV.

        The unbranded clothes can easily be Temu tissue-paper quality or so rough on the skin as to cause abrasions after walking around in them.

        Branded clothing tend to have a higher floor, at least.

          You know that the REAL quality clothes don’t have labels? The stuff you buy at a tailor never looks fancy nor dons cool labels.

          Also most fashion-brands are really shitty quality, made in Bangladesh, too. Because they know people only care for labels, not real quality.

            Sticking a label on a piece of clothing doesn’t change it’s quality.

            Textile mills in Bangladesh produce a wide range of qualities.

              No, that was my point. They do that on cheap shit, even the expensive cheap shit. In tendency ofc, there surely might be some line of some fashion-brand that isn’t crap.

              Might be, but you won’t find the upper range in fashion-brands. But you’re free to replace Bangladesh with any other cheap slave-country that produce clothes for us.

        Go to local thrift or consignment stores. I’m probably living a better to do town but almost every neighborhood has their own.
