Yeah what Moonside said. Also if you’re spending more than $15 on a blank T-shirt you’re probably spending too much lol. There is far less correlation between price and durability when it comes to apparel than I think anyone but corporations would like.

That makes sense. I recently looked into winter clothes, and there seems to be a lot of things that are costly because they're good, and things that are costly because they're fashionable. Like, I'm happy to spend $200 on boots that'll last me for many years and keep my feet warm and dry (that's a big upgrade for me here in New England).

But yeah I won't be spending $15 on a blank tshirt anytime soon x)

A good pair of leather boots will last a long time with proper care. If you don’t want leather for very understandable reasons, avoid anything that looks like fake leather as their cost tends to go into appearance rather than quality
