(not in cotton anyway)<br /><br />Another example I'm thinking of is a few years ago when really thin cotton t-shirts were in style (faux-vintage) and you could easily find one that was $40 (not necessarily "designer" but definitely overpriced) and they were the shittiest quality shirts - you could definitely get a better quality one at Wal-Mart for $10... But it might also be less fashionable, since the shitty quality appeared to be what made it stylish (growing up going to fabric stores, this was not a style I could get behind).<br />(Note: in general, however, Wal-Mart clothes = ill-fit and poor seaming) <br /><br />One last thing - real vintage would also have been cheaper, and the quality is sometimes equal to new because it's barely been worn, but it comes down to a person's comfort with wearing second-hand clothes. Some fashionistas don't bat an eye at it, but it skeeves some people out.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207454643988846741noreply@blogger.com
