Apparently fast fashion clothing is more durable than luxury garments.
Don't ask me, didn't search for the original research yet.
My garments last quite long, I would guess on average my clothes are around 10 years old.
When pants break I put patches here and there, it's a nice past time.
I just remembered I have a hole on my crotch, I should patch it before it becomes larger...

@surveyor3 I'm very glad that this happens, I find a lot of great clothes in the garbage since people throw them out quite regularly.
This was much better in Rome, where garbage cans are full they just throw them out in the road, so you can easily see what's available and take it with you.

Well, expensive clothing is often made of extremely delicate and rare natural materials, it's no surprise they don't last very long.
The fact that they are natural doesn't mean they are more sustainable then the more durable synthetic mixtures either, since they are far-sourced, over-refined and short-lived.
@rastinza everybody who bought a shitty fast fashion t shirt and are waiting that it wears out to replace it know this thing the hard way
