Anyone have a guide on how to identify well-made clothes? I was taught long ago, but I've forgotten the specifics and would not describe it well.
The reason I ask is that cheap clothes are usually much harder to mend. The allowances are small, there are no extra buttons, the materials barely hold a stitch, it all kind of wears out at once.
Better made stuff has enough *there* there to put it back together.

IMHO it's subjective to a certain extent.
To me, quality of the fabric is key. Anything else can be re-stitched, tweaked, mended or darned but low quality fabric is what makes or breaks the "mendability".
