These people are homeless and dress better than I do with a decent job. That's depressing.

This is likely their one and only outfit but I can almost guarantee those are some durable fabrics, Dad’s clothes will still be in great condition for when their son fits them and thats one of the things people used to specifically look for when buying fabrics/clothes.

The modern world of fast fashion couldn't be more off an opposite.
