What is a good balance between price/quality?

I used to think Truworths was a balance, but some of the stuff I've bought here is fading already - compared to an older Jeep shirt, the blacks are looking grey.

Think spending R200 more per shirt to jump from Truworths to a brand (Soviet, Guess) is worth it?

How are Woolworths stuff?
 
On Wolworths. Quality and price is somewhat ok but cater mostly for the older generation. Not much style!
 
Depends what you want. If you're 20, one would imagine you're brand obsessed, so Woolworths will not do the trick for you :)

But for the basic stuff they really have good quality!:)

The quality is quite good, but I think they are quite expensive on basic stuff. Someone who just started working can probably not afford a t-shirt of R 150 or R 200. The flipside of the coin is that it will last longer than the cheaper versions at other stores.

very true so sometimes it pays to buy quality not quantity that way you save in the long run.
 
Ye its worth it!
Buy when they have a sale.

Truworths is South African junk... Like YDE.

Soviet aswell, but some are nice. Guess is my favourite. Polo is good. Lacoste a little to expensive but nice to build up your wardrobe and they WILL last.
Boss, Faconable, Alberto Aspesi, Thomas Pink, and other Itallian shirts worth buying one every 6 months.

Once Guess started being sold at a store like Edgars (bags, purses, etc.) that downgraded the brand for people who are indeed into branded stuff.

And now the tall people suffer. Loved guess a few years back they still made the pants long enough.
 
i dislike truworths cloting for men.

quality wise, woolworths rate up there for general clothing, but with jeans i stay with levis and my t-shirts seem to skate/fmx inspired

but yes it does depend on your style, and ofcourse your budget
 
A few years ago Edgars started selling Doc Martens. They really commercialised the brand. Fscked it up! Then they started selling Cats! Gosh
 
Welcome to a commercialised world. I've got this video clip, y'know, shows how the Mr Price R 89.99 jeans are made in the same factory as the Levi R 1000+ jeans. The Mr Price t-shirts that are bought by the store for R 1. The truckloads of Nike sneakers that are dumped all over Asia so that the First World market experiences a "shortage" and pays more.

I have more than enough taste and style but it really just doesn't sit well with me when I buy a R 200 shirt that cost the same to produce as the R 40 one. I'd rather walk around in cheap jeans and a cheap t-shirt and laugh at people who strut around in their R 5000 clothes, thinking because it has a unique word and a few extra stitches it's a "quality" product. Brainwashing ftw.

Ah, so sad. Where are the leather clothes that will last me the rest of my life?
