Reply to comment by Drackar39 in The name tag on my kid's jacket has lines for 3 names for hand me downs. by sixpackremux

The stuff they make is for ages where the child wears it for maybe a year and grows out of it. Children’s clothing is frequently handed down and passed around because of this.

I mean yeah granted but I don't think I have a single item from Target that's lasted me a whole year.

EDIT: LOOL i'm getting nuked for a honest, factual statement. I fucking love this site.

Are you a 7 year old girl?

When my sons were 9 9 and 6 the big one would grow out of his jeans pass them to his smaller brother then the pants go in the attic a year or two when they'll fit the little guy

Kids only stay in one size for a short time

I am not, in fact, a seven year old girl. But they do a similar amount of wear and tear on clothing as I do, in my experience.

Little bundles of destructive energy, kids.

I have no experience with target clothes, but I've heard people say the same about h&m clothes, which also usually last me 4-7 years with some outliers where for instance I have a 2010 pair of sweatpants that are still going strong and on the other hand sometimes a seam goes loose in the first wash, but those are exceptions; usually I wear clothes until the fabric is pilling. So I do wonder: what do you do with your clothes? Do you crawl through a lot of tight spaces? Are you wearing a size too small? Does your washing machine have spikes on the inside? Do you only have 2 outfits so that you're washing them every other day?

Edit: I realised that my comment could be taken in a mean way, but I hope it isn't, because I don't mean it like that, I am curious about the actual answer, but I also didn't sleep well and am maybe not wording my words right.

Ding ding ding. I do, in fact, crawl through tight spaces, etc. I'm a handyman.

But I've also had store brands from other stores last me a year or longer, especially wranglers from K-mart while K-mart was still a thing.

Target carries "levis" that are half as thick and half as durable as any other pair of Levis I've ever owned, that last 1/4 the time.
