Blue jeans are a classic example of this.

Remember in the 60s and 70s they would last for years and it was no sin to patch them as they got faded.

Now all jeans look new and are thrown out with any sign of wear. If you want them faded and with holes in them, you buy them that way.

Also T shirts are another example of items that are discarded after any wear

I've tried to steer clear of cheap stuff lately. It's just not worth it. The clothes smell like chemicals (which no amount of washing seems to get out), the shoes give you blisters, and the toys... well, I guess they're okay if you don't mind a bit of heavy metal exposure. I may not have the newest and best of everything, but at least I know that what I do have will last a while... and won't cause me physical harm.

Heavy metal exposure. I like that.

Preach it
