Oh, I'm feeling just opposite on your phrase "clothes last for ages" if you speaking about its quality. 10 yr old jeans looks ugly but their endurance is much better than modern ones has.

And if you wash your clothes so often, it should last few months before became completely garbage.

I think drying is harder on textiles than washing. I hang dry my clothes and am baffled by how long they last vs. when I used to use a dryer. This could be personal experience.

Same experience. Also fabric softeners will extend clothes life IME.

That'd be survivor bias. My average jeans a decade or two ago would start tearing off at the buttonhole or taint seam after a year or so.

"Taint Seam" you put hilarious words to something we all know haha. Especially those of us prone to blowing out the crotch of our jeans.

Are you talking about product of same manufacturer?
