What lol, most of the stuff in here doesn't cost "thousands", you can replicate pretty much everything in the inspo threads with £1500 maximum.

>identical

Do you mean "vaguely similar looking"? Because Primark use bottom-tier material and construction and their fit is dire.

Plus you have to enter a Primark, which is a terrible experience in its own right.

Does it matter if they're, say, 100% cotton? Is there "more" cotton in costlier clothes?

Not everything made in China is bad, obviously it will depend on where it's made. Visvim makes a lot of their stuff in China, and anyone who owns/have handled stuff from them knows it's good, both in terms of quality and construction. Anorak wrote an elaborate post on this.

cotton is not a molecule and there is no reason it has to have the same properties between samples. two shirts arent going to be equal just because they are both made of cotton. maybe you would be less poor if you weren't so stupid

ITT: Poorfags justifying saving up for months for single articles of clothing because "muh quality."

You're totally fucking wrong. There is no significant different in the quality of fabric as you get to a more expensive article of clothing. It's about exclusivity. You will stain your $400 shirt just as fast as your $50 shirt, but you will not be able to afford a replacement $400 shirt right away.

It's about exclusivity. They are expensive so you poorfags don't buy them, yet you do it anyway. Stop buying clothes that are clearly not made for you.

If you think that a 10 dollar t-shirt is just as good as a 100 dollar one, then you really don't know what you're talking about. I've got several cheaper tees, and lots of expensive ones too. The latter, are comfier, fit better and are generally nicer. Also, it's not solely about exclusivety, but design aswell. Sure, you could wait a couple of months to see your favorite fast-fashion retailer make a rip-off on that t-shirt you really like, but costs more than you would like to pay. But not everyones into that.
>>8099832
If you really think they're selling the exact same stuff then you haven't got the slightest clue. imo Givenchy isn't really "worth" the money, but to some people it IS worth it.

Bro, I have tees that cost $5, $15, $40, $60, and $100.

The only difference between the $15 tee and the $100 tee is the design and the fit. Ultimately, that is what you are paying for. The construction might be marginally better, the fabric is different, but it isn't a $95 quality difference.

composition matters a little, but the weave, thickness and structure are what make all shirts so different, especially between brands.

I have soft cotton shirts, and rough cheap ones. And then I have some that fell apart after 2-3 washes. If you're really trying to save so much money, then wait for sales etc. Get middle-tier clothing. But when you go for the bottom of the barrel, it'll show.

>> No.8100428

>>8100352
But that's exactly what it is.. Different people value different things. If you view clothes only as a means to an end, to cover your body then it most certainly isn't worth to put money into it, if you ARE interested in clothing, fashion etc. then it just might be worth it. But what's not worth the money to someone might just be worth it to someone else, because of differencies in preference. It IS subjective.
>>8100372
Obviously you're not getting any more functionality out of them, but if you're interested in fashion the difference in aesthetic might make it worth it. From a purely obejctive perspective you might not get your moneys worth, but there are different ways to view it.
