It only devalues the brand if you lower the price or the quality drops below a critical threshold. There are a lot of people with money but no ability to gauge quality in something like clothes. That's not very surprising since modern society is hyper-specialized. I know nothing about sewing or fabrics so I can't gauge quality in clothes beyond basics like "feel" either.
Lowering the price, on the other hand, signals that the brand is now lower quality or less exclusive. Everyone understands that.

I've found reddit and even moreso styleforum to be of help when needing to evaluate the quality of a brand. Although at a certain price point you get improvements that aren't really perceivable such as mother of pealr buttons, i'd rather get a custom shirt than pay more for a ready to wear shirt with MoP buttons that fits poorly due to me being short and thin but slightly muscular in the shoulders
