    Except you can’t get quality anything anymore you gotta do a research paper to try and find anything that last longer then a few years. Now its the rich have the ability to replaces things faster.

      I’m friends with a fashion designer. I buy his stuff, it’s expensive but it’s well made, he’s queer and it lasts for years, but also the rare times it breaks down I can get him to fix it for free or send me replacement material or buttons etc.

      I’ve basically had to reinvent a medieval style relationship with a tailor, shits gotten so bad you can’t trust anything cheap or expensive.

        God I wish I knew someone like that. I probably could of made a connection if I had gotten to go to the punk flea market but I was like a week out of surgery. :(

      I have literally lost days to researching basic clothing staples such as socks, underwear, and t-shirts in recent months. I have extreme anxiety about it. I just want someone to take the burden from me and deliver some clothing to my home at this point, because I can’t take any more of this.
