Kinda think this is oversimplified on the top part. There’s also transporting the cotton to manufacturer, nicer cotton could easily be double that price (especially if it’s “designer”), grading, thread, legally required wash labels, brand tags, packaging, waste (fabric and human error) and sku-ing.All this shopping recently got me to thinking…
I always cringe a bit when I see things like this, especially when people outside of the industry see it. It makes the clothing industry look completely evil, but markups exist in EVERY business out there. Otherwise it’s not a business. I can make a graph about how many pennies it cost to produce the alcohol you’re paying $10.00 for at a bar, or how you theoretically are overcharging your consulting employer by 100% because you are not producing a physical product.
Please remember that markups exist so people like me and those that are working to produce these products can make a living. We to need to pay bills, buy food and pay people we employ.
