Most apparel has gotten ridiculously worse than it was in 1999, adjusted for cost. I have a J. Crew shirt from 1999 I can still wear, which cost $49 in 1999.

Most apparel has gotten ridiculously worse than it was in 1999, adjusted for cost. I have a J. Crew shirt from 1999 I can still wear, which cost $49 in 1999. Equivalent shirt today will be $98, the buttons and stitching will be horrible comparatively and it will die a faded death after a couple of years. The new shirt, however, will photograph really well online.
