mabuti na yung malinaw na genuine fakes ang pinag-uusapan at hindi geenuine genuine.

for me kasi,
by personal experience,
it is the name brands that offer good quality, i.e., good fit and longevity (anti-bacon garters and non-sagging support elsewhere}...
and even among name brands, "some brands wear nicer than other brands".

I totally agree. There are some items wherein I don't mind spending because good quality = good fit. This is especially true for women that need support in the chest area, these good quality items do NOT come cheap so it has to last!

Growing up, my Mom would always inspect my underwear cabinet and dispose of the shabby ones. It used to irritate me but my Mom said I'd be such an embarrassment if an emergency happens or if I slip and I am wearing bad underwear. hahaha! Now I do my inspection on mu own and have a whole drawer of unused undergarments so I can easily replace my old ones. I buy when there is sale and I keep it lang

Here in PH, M&S has good quality. Even my stockings I buy there (I also keep is stock)

My mom would always say this. Kaya when my sister got into an accident before, the hospital had to cut open her jeans. We told her buti na lang nice underwear niya hehe.

so our Moms don't just have the same handwriting, they think the same too

But seriously, that's the nightmare scenario my Mom keeps telling me, the chances are LOW but when it happens, you don't want to be that person with ratty underwear. After all, nurses and doctors are human too.

I rarely wear my "aircon" and basahan looking pambahay now kasi nice nga my underwear, pangit naman pambahay LOL! Though I always have a nice night shirt that I could easily grab.

I know people pala na they don't have pambahay clothes, naka pang alis din sila kahit nasa bahay

well,
i had warned my spouse to refrain from rummaging thru my clothes to throw away the old, decrepit ones.
those old, worn clothes are the most comfortable of the lot!
heh heh.

Good quality clothes last a long long time, minsan gusto mo na masira ayaw pa hehe

I got an HBO shirt that I buy when GOT first episode was released (Game Of Thrones) in 2011, until now ok pa din color and ganda pa din, sinusuot ko minsan pag weekend.

I don't buy branded polo shirt but I have received a couple of them but I don't wear it anymore. The reason is that the polo shirt kept elongating upon wash I don't know why this is happening to those shirt.

hindi ako brand conscious basta maganda ang fabric at fit binibili ko.
andami kong gamit na more than 10 years na. yung iba ay lumiit para sa akin hehehe.
pag mga garments usually sa tingin pa lang at konting hipo malalaman mo na tatagal sya kahit hindi sikat na brand.

ang problema frugal ka sa ilang bagay at nakatipid ng konti pero pag may isang bagay na nagustuhan kahit magkano pa yan, ipipikit lang mata
