Well, I do love DKNY jeans . . . The problem with clothing value is the way the textiles are made . . . not the label placed on them or the place you buy.

Some labels buy fabrics that have been stretched excessively in the textile mill because it's cheaper per square yard. You also have to consider thread count and the if the fabric edges are double or quadruple sewn.

There are some quality Wal-Mart clothing. I've found cheap, quality stuff there, occassionally. They just started carrying 300-count sheets

I have a love-hate relationship with Wal-Mart.
