I'm uncertain of how this will resonate with most people here, particularly because it's not a nice thing to say, but I highly doubt that everyone is as rational in their decision-making about purchasing clothes as recent discussion would have an outsider believe. Naturally, I include myself in this category.
We can debate about the objective merits of production and country of origin, or canvass the features of certain fabrics over others; in fact, I think it's a good debate to have and one I'm enjoying following. Ultimately, though, you can't remove yourself from the emotional element that is within every commercial transaction. It's there, and it's why there'll never be mutual consensus on what is/isn't of value/"worth it". I think that's actually a good thing.
