Why does it seem like some of my sweaters have a soft and loose "lint layer" on the inside? (lemm.ee)

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

Do you have any recommendations for high quality clothing?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There’s a lot but some of my favourites are Document (Korean brand), Arpenteur (amazing brand from my city), A Kind of Guise (German brand), Borali (very small label, the blog is very worth it if you can read French/use a translator), Orslow, ADER error (although some pieces have a bit too much plastic but the ones I own are very sturdy, also a bit overpriced), Maison Kitsune (same but I’m too much into foxes to skip this one lol), Matsuda (Japanese eyewear, handmade with awesome details and materials), …

Nobody seems to "just make high quality clothes" anymore. It's always partly "we do clothing properly" but also "this is a modern art project, and also sometimes we don't do clothing properly".

The modern art vibes have always, frankly, disgusted me.

I'd much rather buy from a factory with a known location and a known manufacturing/tailoring process, with a sales tactic based purely on describing methodology and materials.
