Re: "It's getting impossible to find quality clothes anymore."

I agree.

I think our water conservation washing machines are partly to blame.

Those machines literally beat the life out of your clothing.

I have completely given up on clothing stores.

95% of their merchandise is crap I will never buy.

The other 5% doesn't fit.

That never occurred to me, but it’s a good point. Not enough water, no room for proper agitation.

I’ve noticed that you can pretty much give up on a company when they switch production to China.

I hate front loading garbage washing machines—I don’t think they actually clean clothes. Speed Queen is good, though.
