Clothes are so flimsy now-a-days they’re practically see-through and they can’t handle washing more than like 20 times before they’re ruined.  Same with vehicles, same with phones, same with basically everything now.  Everything is flimsier and more breakable... 

Everything is made as cheaply as possible so that the company can save 1/8 of a penny producing it.  That pads the profit margin numbers and buys the CEO a new yacht because stock prices go up slightly for a few days, which makes millionaires buying stocks happy.  And that’s all a company cares about.  Fuck  30, 10, or even 2 years down the road! They can make a fast buck today.

Buy Me Once is a website that sells products that, uh, you only have to buy once. They have razors, duvets, kitchenwear, hosiery, gardening tools—all that are designed to last as long as physically possible. Hell, they have a smartphone ($200, 4 year warranty) and a VACUUM, both made to never be replaced. A lot of these things are also self-serviceable (looking at you Apple).

There are other sites out there like this, but this is the one I know is reputable. There are also some clothing companies like Eddie Bauer, Uniqlo, LandsEnd, and Duluth Trading Post that all sell durable, reliable clothing. In Uniqlo's case, they're also recycling materials and creating innovative new ways to sew clothes, including just not sewing them at all.
