Often at times when we purchase clothing, we tend to look at the quality over the price of the item. It’s a smart method of shopping and it is one of the factors that determine the durability of the cloth, meaning is the clothing going to last for another decade, is it going to be worn again next season and beyond without wrecking the fabric or the material. Well, gents, below is an in-depth information to guide you on smart purchase when it comes to quality not quantity.
Gentlemen, as a fashion & style lover, let me tell you that you don’t need to spend magnificent amounts of money on that clothing item, an expensive cloth doesn’t mean it’s of higher quality nor is it stylish.
So, gents, some may be asking themselves that when I am doing my shopping, what are the signs you can detect to immediately be convinced that this cloth is of quality and a good investment to have. Well, gents, below are five signs that suggests your clothes are of good quality, can last You longer and the fabric will be as good as new even after you have purchased the clothing for years.
First sign: you need to look closely and investigate the material.
Gents, it’s not enough to just look at the clothing and make a quick decision to buy the cloth without studying the material closely because when you buy poor quality clothes, it’s going to have a short lifespan, it will burst or town halfway throughout the year and your hard earned will go done the drain. Gents, don’t be that guy, be open and inspect the cloth.
For example, buying lightweight materials during the summer maybe the ideal choice because of its soft fabric, but I’m here to say it’s not a good choice. These lightweight fabrics often have fewer fibers, meaning they easily get torn when you wash them for instance. Gents, I suggest you look at better quality fabrics out there such as: Silk, Cashmere, linen and Leather. These are he best fabrics if you want to create a strong wardrobe, with items made from this fabrics, I guarantee you, they are a good Investment despite the price and they are affordable ones in some stores right off the rack.
Examples of good quality fabrics:
– Silk
-Cashmere
-Leather
-Linen
Second Sign: Your jeans shouldn’t be soft, they just be heavier
Gents, speaking of jeans, by soft I mean the feel and touch shouldn’t be easily torn like a piece of paper. GQ Magazine states that high quality denim is usually heavy and stiff because of the jeans thread material. Softer jeans don’t last long because of the fewer fibers it contains.
Third Sign: The seam of your clothing should be tight
The clothing you purchase needs to have a tighter seam because it will have more stitches and it will make a strong seam compared to a poor clothing stitches which will make the seam weaker and prone to split.
Fourth sign: the fabric patterns matches up the seams
Gents, this is true for striped and plaid fabrics. A good way to judge the quality of the pierced Clothing is to see the pattern matches up at the seams. For example, you can check for the details such as a shirt, the pattern of the pocket should match the surrounding material of the front Shirt.
Fifth sign: check for finished hem
Clothing that includes “raw” hem instead of sewn or finished hems with extra fabric tend to look sloppy. Fast Fashion manufacturers often cut the ends of the pants without finishing the hem which takes time.
