For years now I have been trying to find clothes that aren't junk. I don't have outrageous demands, I want maybe 3 tshirts, 3 blouses, and 3 pairs of jeans or other robust pants.
All I want is clothing that fits, is made of long and strong fibres, like good cotton or linen. Stitched with modest skill. I am prepared to pay for it, but I expect it to last at least 5 years regular wearing and ideally around 10.
I know this isn't ridiculous because I have clothing from 15 years ago which while worn is still more than adequate to so yard work in.
For the life of me, no matter the budget or brand, I can only find garbage quality potato sack clothing or overpriced crudely made things that are at least of somewhat acceptable weave. It is driving me crazy, I just want clothing of the same quality a farmer a century ago might have had. This is not an outrageous demand!
the potato sacks are probably made with better materials and with better care than most fast fashion
Potato sacks are a scam anyway. Get yourself a sturdy oak barrel and an a pair of leather shoulder straps, it will last you a lifetime.
