How to Spot a Well-Made Garment
1
Before you pay for any piece of clothing, check these four things. It takes ten seconds.
2
First, the seams. Pull gently, and they should stay tight and even, with no gaps.
3
Second, hold the fabric up to the light. Very thin fabric wears out fast.
4
Third, the buttons. Well-made pieces sew them on firmly, and often include a spare.
5
Fourth, the pattern. On stripes and checks, the lines should meet at the seams.
6
Save this for your next shopping trip. Good clothes last longer than trends.
