People dress very cheaply now. I'm always amazed from historic photos, it seems the further back you go the more money they spent on appearance.
These days it just looks like no one cares. I'm surprised upmarket stores lasted this long.
- akdas 6y agoThat's partially because photos used to be rarer. So either the subjects were richer to have access to photos, or the subjects dressed their best when getting their photographs taken.

- lilsoso 6y agoThere's a phrase, 'cut and cloth'. Better materials, the basic ingredients, generally increases the price (cloth from quality fabric mills, finer wools, nice dyes, shell buttons, leather, etc...). And the cut matters, to pay for a tailored shirt in England or Italy will cost you -- that is, the labor, design, and construction. Sure, a high price tag does not necessarily imply quality -- but let's not be fools about the matter.
