Sometimes, I think people spend too much time and energy trying to avoid spending too much time and energy on what to wear.

Maybe Jobs and Einstein did it, but I view it more as a quirk rather than efficiency.

Yes.

It's more important how it's made (and how the people involved are treated) and what it's made from, in addition to quality for cost.

Honestly, I'd like to see live webcams in contract mgfr factories where a particular product is made and be able to follow a product's components until it ships. That's the proof necessary to show whether workers are dangerously exhausted, abused by supervisors, etc. It would also be good to see the authentic average of hourly worker pay compared to local cost of living.

Every physical purchase has an human, animal and/or planet cost.

Though even Trunk Club is too gourmet. I just need a service that will send me Forever21 t-shirts and leggings when mine are devoured by holes.
