It’s not that hard to get cotton/wool clothing, though wool is definitely pricier than spun plastic. I’ve had much more trouble with furniture, though, there’s a much larger price premium there for whatever reason.
- TeMPOraL 4y ago> I’ve had much more trouble with furniture, though, there’s a much larger price premium there for whatever reason. Logistics, probably. Wooden furniture is heavy. Much heavier than furniture made from modern, plastic-infused materials. This weight increase generates additional costs at every step between the manufacturer and your living room. (I guess traditional materials might also be less suitable for making flat-packed furniture that can be assembled by the buyer.)
