    Anyway, how did your supermarket togs last you in the end?
    One sweatshop is pretty much like another.

    Incidentally I'm surprised by the number of men who like Sainsburys jeans and some of them are young ones....

        There really is no point to parody post Brexit and Trump.

            You clearly don't know how clothes are made even high end fashion designer ones.

            They use different material per manufacturer but they subcontract them out so the people doing most of the work are often in very small sweat shops in a developing nations.

            There are very few brands - and they tend to be the traditional brands - that don't do this.

            Shoes, including sports ones to do actual sport in, tend to be different as retailers are more truthful where they are made.

                    Never said I was perfect, what I was challenging was SEs statement that "clearly don't know how clothes are made".

                    However, I do try and buy stuff that may cost more but people aren't exploited making it, that was my point .

                    In addition you have to look at how long the clothes last, these makes last far longer than anything mainstream, so I can feel a lot better about lack of "wastage" as well.

                    Still, each to their own
