When you are out shopping for mens & womens fashions, you may have wondered why there is a difference in price between similar looking items. Sometimes when something seems like a bargain, it might no longer seem that way after a short period of time. When shopping for clothes there is a saying that is particularly apt, you get what you pay for.
With a cheap item of clothing you will probably have noticed that after a few washes it will start to go out of shape. What once used to make you look good when you were wearing it, now just seems to hang on you. Had you have bought a branded item of clothing this wouldn’t have happened, and what made you look good in the first place, will still be doing the job, as it will have retained its shape.
The main culprit for this is the alternate fabrics that have been selected to make these garments. When handling the imitation you will find that it has a lighter feel, and this is mainly due to the cheaper fabric that has been used. Once this garment has become so tired and worn out, the manufacturer hopes to retain your custom by offering you similar garments at the same cheap price.
As a comparison, the slightly higher priced item of known branded clothing will have been made from a superior fabric. You will find that once the cheap imitation has fallen apart, you will still have plenty of wear left in the branded item. Of course, at some stage it too will need replacing, but when you consider the amount of wear that you have gained through an item from a known brand, you will be more inclined to purchase another item from their line.
Many will notice the color of a garment and decide that they already have sometime in their wardrobe that will match it perfectly. Once again the problem will become apparent after the garment has been worn a few times. The color starts to look tired and flat, it no longer has the vibrancy of when you first purchased it. The problem will have been caused by using an inferior dye on inferior fabric.
The slightly higher priced, branded item will have had a more expensive dye used. Not only that, but the whole process of dying will have undergone more quality supervision. As a more expensive fabric has been used, the dye will have entered all of the fibres, ensuring that over time the same color that caught your eye will remain there.
If you take a look at the stitching on the cheaper item, there is a good chance that you will notice missing or broken stitches. Once again to keep costs down, a cheap thread has been used. The same cannot be said of the branded item, all of the stitches are where they are meant to be and they are holding fast.
Finally, take a look at the zippers and buttons. You will notice the difference in quality straight away if you hold them side by side. It really does make sense to initially pay that little bit more for mens & womens fashions in the first place. You will get far more wear from it, and in the long run, by the time you have replaced the cheaper item three or four times, it will have ended up costing you more.
