You can buy used clothes, you know. Not to knock your attempt to make them yourself, that's cool, but there are plenty of ways to avoid having to do that.
Well i imagine the used market prices will go up too it wont be immune to tariffs. Since the supply is limited, and everyone needs clothes. If people cant find them new theyll all go used, and people like me that were already buying used and wearing stuff til it fell apart will be pushed out of even that.
used markets are already precarious, new manufactures are flimsy and theres only so much surplus antiques able to enter the market. then again the US has sat on such a high throne of excess its hard to say how much is out there
I think there's a ceiling on how much people are willing to pay for an ugly poly blend t-shirt from Goodwill, even in a nightmare scenario.
I mean im guessing my limit on shirts of 9$ per shirt max is a bit below other peoples max.
