Not really, donation clothing is skyrocketing (because people consume more and more clothing from cheap brands like H&M) and stores like Value Village or Good Will can't actually accept every piece of clothing donated to them. Lots of it end up on cargos back to Africa or Asia. Buy from thrift stores, this is a good thing and good for environment.

Try Tesco, they are 2 for £8 but they last forever, dont fade and look the same after a couple dozen washes as they did new, also they never run.

I find the fit better and they keep their shape without going saggy around the collar.

My questions were rhetorical. I was trying to explain why I believe clothes are expensive in wealthy areas, not asking about you personally.
