The problem is there is no good way to identify quality brands. Price used to be a quality differentiator but it's not anymore, so what do you use to identify brands that produce clothes that last?
- loco5niner 6y agoI remember reading an article (wish I had the link) from a seamstress that talked about this. It mostly came down to examining the stiches and seams for quality, which is what I always do now when buying clothes. Look for unraveling, loose or missed stitches, not-straight stitching, etc. Pull the seam apart lightly and see how it holds up. Also things like zipper quality (YKK is a top brand, and would be stamped on the underside), or how well stripes are lined up. Do the button holes look well stitched?
