    I’ve noticed this quite a bit. I have a couple tshirts I bought for $2 on clearance when I worked at JcPenis. They’re still good 15 years later. But anything I bought in the last few years just falls apart. The irony is, the tshirts I bought in Japan last year for maybe $8 each are built like tanks even though they’re made in China (Uni Glo lol).

        Looking at the tag now… yes lol … my bad. I wonder if I’ve been pronouncing it incorrectly all this time.

      Seriously! Any recent shirts I have feel like they are made of tissue paper. Even just looking at then wrong causes a hole, and the stitching uses the cheapest thread imaginable. It’s horrible.

        Totally, pants as well. I’m in a hot climate so I wear a bit thinner stuff but ripping the pant leg in half when it got snagged on something at work? And I mean up to my underwear. I half ass sewed it up with some string I had at the shop.
