Why does the free market and comfortable clothing options make you furious?

  For me it's because good quality clothing has become prohibitively expensive. The market has polarized into cheap low quality clothing and ultra expensive high end clothing.

      > If it's about being quality, why only for men though? That's not what I said. While what you think I said is not a good look, neither is a white man trying to dictate what women wear. The elastic jeans thing is a ship that sailed a long time ago. Also if you’ve ever shopped with women, the amount of effort that goes into finding a pair that fit at all is appalling. Elastic gives you a fudge factor to buy pants that don’t actually fit but do.

    Hmm… In my experience, good quality clothing can be found near unfathomably cheap (in the U.S. atleast) at estate sales in/around historically middle-upper class neighborhoods of cities. Or rich zip codes in general. It’s even better if you’re a bit smaller than average or in good physical shape - you can simply buy larger articles made of quality materials & self-tailor or pay a bit to have them fitted to your body. You may miss some small QoL improvements & gimmicks modern day clothing can have, like recessed pockets with near invisible zippers or tucked away phone holders, but those can also be added by anybody who’s decent at handiwork. Building your own wardrobe is fairly easy this way IMO - I don’t think I could say the same for supplying an entire family though.

  Another way to get comfy clothes is to buy the right size.
