- pault 7y agoThis is undoubtedly the case with most of the clothing, but not for consumer electronics. Edit: No, it's the same with the clothing; buy one of those generically branded jackets some time and see how long it lasts.
- AJ007 7y agoI don’t recall any clothes I have that say made in China? I think the Chinese labor cost is too high for garments. Yes, there is a huge mark up, but if the clothing brand is ok they are doing quality control and providing some consistency besides the whole style/fashion part.
- maxxxxx 7y agoHopefully the branded item will have better quality control. You see that with camera batteries for example. The name brands seem to take the best batteries of a lot and third party sellers then take the ones that are less according to spec.
- caconym_ 7y agoUsually you can smell the difference.
- Kephael 7y agoI recently witnessed this with oven mitts. I bought a pair of oven mitts on Amazon but also found several other mitts that were slight variations. When I went to Rite Aid, I found they were selling a variant of the oven mitt pair that I had purchased for more than double the price. The branding was slightly different, but the product was identical.
