Very well said! I was flabbergasted at the cost of fabric locally. It is in many cases cheaper to buy a pre-made item than it is just to buy the fabric. As a result, my pandemic “make your own clothes” project fizzled quite quickly.
The upside is that now I have a nice sewing machine. It’s surprisingly easy to fix common issues with cheap clothing and keep them in use longer.

Reply to Looking for a New T-Shirt Brand with Great Quality and Fit for Slimmer Body Types - Recommendations? by No-Neighborhood205
I can’t suggest a brand, but I can offer a possible solution. It’s also not a practical solution for most people. But, it’s worth considering if you have a perfect fitting piece of clothing that you can’t replace.
You could clone your T-shirt. Just search YouTube for “cloning clothing” and you’ll get plenty of tutorials. Obviously you’ll need to be comfortable with using a sewing machine or know someone that is, but it’s relatively easy to do.
It’s definitely limited to DIY though, as I suspect asking a local tailor to do this would be costly.
