- 0xcde4c3db 4y agoYet another reason is that quality control tends to be pretty terrible for anything but boutique/luxury brands (and even they have their missteps). There are situations where you can buy multiple of the same SKU and wind up with stuff manufactured in three different countries with obviously different fabric quality and measurements off by multiple inches. There's been something like a "marathon to the bottom" across things like clothing, shoes, and just about anything else textile-adjacent for almost a century. You can find articles from 50+ years ago lamenting how clothing used to last longer and have more consistent quality, and it's only gotten worse since then.
