Let me also add, in many other categories, I've rarely found a correlation between price, brand, and quality.

Worst luggage I ever owned was Rimowa. It was the most expensive I've bought and broke several times. They'd fix it, but who wants to spend their vacation taking their luggage to the repair shop (and lugging it full from the airport to the hotel while it's broke)

Worst and most expensive jacket I ever bought, Paul Smith, got a hole in the main pocket within 30 days and the hanging hook in the collar broke in 2 weeks.

Worst jeans I ever bought, Diesel. Ripped in 1 month.

Isn't that supposed to be a feature on that brand?

Both those brands are exactly that - brands - where a lot of the cost of the product is recycled right back into advertising to convince you that the brands are actually worth the prices they charge.

When buying clothing, it's worthwhile to spend a little bit of time learning what makes quality clothing and what doesn't. That's very helpful in avoiding over-branded garbage being sold for far more than it cost to make in a sweatshop.

Weird, Rimowa is one of the best suitcases I've ever owned. I've never had any other suitcase roll so smoothly. The exterior shell has some marks and whatnot (mostly due to careless handling), but the overall product is excellent...
