It's the way of the world. :-(

I "had" to buy my last ones from Nordstrom as I was so sick of Hanes and FotL and the like shrinking 2 sizes or disintegrating after a few washings. If one is willing to pay 2-5x what one thinks one "should", one can still get good quality. Otherwise, well, someone is making a lot of money on the sale, and it's not the US (or Bangladeshi) workers. :-( Smart of you to plan ahead! Cheers, Scott.

One of Australia's lower priced department stores now sources quite a lot of clothes that it can sell for a pittance. It was such a price drop they could use astonished shoppers for their ad campaign! However, quality has suffered. Second-hand clothing store ("op shops") are finding people are donating used clothing that is now almost literally falling apart instead of garments that still have a decent amount of years still in them.
