On the weird rant about the $300 hoodie, if you are buying something like that, it often means that it was produced by workers in a country with fair labour practices and with better materials - hence the price. Maybe you don’t want to spend that money on a hoodie - neither do I - but the price/quality ratio is likely pretty good.
People’s attitudes towards the clothes they wear always bewilders me. In an age where sustainability and wage equality are both becoming preeminent issues, why wouldn’t you consider that with the clothes you wear on your back? The global fast fashion industry is appallingly wasteful.
