It's a well-documented escalation of planned obsolescence and it's true for everything from your washing machine to your polo shirts to your car. If you make it cheaply so it deteriorates quickly, constantly bring out new styles to make your current thing seem prematurely out of date, and make it juuuust cheap enough, you can sell people 10 shirts over 10 years instead of 2. I like wearing industrial clothing (like red kap cotton work shirts) and to my eye seem like they're made about the same quality they always were.
