Thats an even better example of mindless consumerism. At least an expensive phone actually has slightly better features. A tshirt is a tshirt, if it feels good and looks good thats the only meaningful statistics. The expensive ones don't last any longer than the cheap ones in my experience and its purely to show off that you have an expensive brand name shirt.

There's more to an item, especially one like a piece of clothing which involves design, than its utility value.

For a t-shirt, these things jump immediately to mind that may increase its cost:

- A limited batch

- A particular cut

- A particular print

- Supporting a clothing brand / designer you have a connection with

Why judge someone so harshly because they value some other aspect of the item differently than you? There's something incredibly ugly about being confident in your ignorance and casting judgement on other people.
