Mid-market for most things is a scam. The honest price points for most goods are "As cheap as they can be manufactured" and "As expensive as the majority of people who really care about a quality product will pay". Between those two, a middle range of products pop up, targeting people who are hesitant to buy cheap stuff, but aren't willing to shell out for premium goods, and thus ending up paying extra for cheap crap, and above the premium range you get into luxury items where the exorbitant cost is the selling point. Clothing has a lot of this. For good clothes, you gotta shop on material and craftsmanship, and then get everything but your workout cloths and PJs tailored. Trying to buy clothes that fit right off the rack, or trying to figure out quality based on price range is just a losing game.
