RE: [Homesteadingfamily] Quality

I second the quality inserts. My hubby gets a year out of each pair of
workbooks by buying quality inserts every 4 months. He is SO hard on boots
as he is a welder and is always burning things or running heavy metal things
over them but he wears them until the soles start to separate because for
one, we need to because of money and for two he can't stand not to wear
things out. He buys quality boots, quality insoles and he is good to go.

I hadn't thought about fabric quality being down. Definitely plays a part
in why things fall apart!

As someone who sews and creates clothing for people, its becoming harder
and harder for me to find QUALITY fabrics! Fabric that is worth the $$ I'm
spending! People wont pay fair prices for homemade stuff anyhow, and the
price of fabric going up with the quality going down does NOT help.
I've found that I've got to buy hiking shoes and other brands of shoes to
keep them going for any longer than 3 months. THOUGH you are supposed to
change shoes after that long because the insides and the soles dont have
the support any longer. I've learned to get longer life with high quality
insoles~ not the cheap ones you get at the grocery, but work boot type
that mould to your feet or are rigid and cup your feet. I have one set and
I interchange them between a few different pairs of shoes~

t-shirt quality is down. Denim quality is down, cotton and any other type
of clothing quality is down and yet the prices seem to still be climbing
higher and higher.
