- 15 tips that will help you detect a poor-quality item right on the spot. When we buy a piece of clothing, we want to get a quality item. Unfortunately, it often happens that new clothes shrink or get torn after the first wash.

SUMMARY
- When buying clothes made of cotton, do this simple but very illustrative test: grab some fabric and squeeze it as tightly as you can in your fist for a few seconds. Then check if the fabric looks like a crumpled piece of paper.
- To check the thickness, hold the fabric up to a bright light. If you don’t see much through it, you are safe to buy it.
- A pull test can help you understand if you are holding a piece of junk in your hands, or if you have to pay for it right now feeling happy that you found it. So, try pulling stitched pieces apart.
- Make sure you buy clothes and accessories with metal zippers covered with a strap: they are the most reliable and long-lasting.
- Pants and skirts should have a hem of up to 2 inches. Blouses and shirts can do with a smaller one of about 1 inch. If there is no hem at all or it’s simply stitched, we do recommend buying this item.
- A quality item will always keep its shape. Take a stretchy part of a dress or a skirt, tug on it and then let it go.
- Zippers on dresses, skirts, or any other kinds of clothing should be equal in length, even and math in color.
- If you notice symptoms like this, don’t jump to the conclusion that you shouldn’t have skipped your gym. It’s possible that the manufacturer just saved money and didn’t use enough fabric.
- Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool are strong and more durable than synthetics. However, 100% cotton can quickly shrink after washing.
- Examine fabric pattern and thread colors. If patterns don’t match and stitches are made with threads of different colors, it is a clear sign that this item was made in a hurry.
- When manufacturers make a fake or a low-quality item, they often don’t pay attention to little details. This is why you should always carefully examine buttons and buttonholes before buying an item.
- Good shirt and blouses must have a shoulder yoke. It makes the top look neat on you. Cheap items of clothes don’t have a yoke, so they don’t just look bad, but also uncomfortable to wear.
- If the coloring on the handles, straps, or fastenings looks faded or leaves marks on the folds, this is a clear sign of a low-quality item.
- When you buy a jacket or a coat, pay extra attention to the center back seam. The thing is your back probably doesn’t look completely flat, so if you want it to look beautiful, there must be a quality back seam.
- Even a very quick look at them can tell you a lot about how much effort has been put into producing the item. For example, if the pattern on the pocket doesn’t match the pattern on the rest of the item, it means that the production was sloppy, and they tried to save money on the materials.

Thank u , now I don't have to watch the whole video as I was already running late lol
@@OEDODRAGON yes

*if you are Indian just don't worry with quality just go with your Mom*
ok bhai
Hahaha hahaha
does it mean u go to beach to poop?
Well experienced guy in shopping with mom??? Ha ha ha
@@vinodkumar-py2dw I'm talking about not experienced guy
Ok but what’s a “yoke”?
1) there is a specific number of stitch required, 12-20 per inch are the best.2) size of stitch, smaller stitch is better and will hold tabrics better. 3) high quality products have bartack in it. Thats the thick stitch at the end of zippers or in each belt loop. 4) all rtw are packed and sold for its best look, chemicals and all in it. 5)beware of sale items when a product has just been released, most sale items are out of season. 6) fold any item vertically. It should always have a symmetry. And to find a perfect fit, make sure the shoulder seam rest 45 degrees on your shoulders, not below it as it will look sloppy and not before it as it will look too tight. 7) inspect for holes or snags, and before packing, make the sales rep inspect it as well. 8) check the seams underneath if the color will match. For max produced items, there is a specific color combination for top and bottom thread used on seams..
Max Paul well said... Thanks! Are you a designer or do you just study fashion?
Max Paul i have got a 100% polyester adidas tracksuit do u think it would be good quality. Also how should i take of it.
THAT BUZZER SOUND DROVE ME CRAZY ASFAFGSHJDFKLJSKLDJSKL
These were helpful tips, I really could have done without that buzzer sound though.
That buzzer sound reminded me why I hated playing the board game Operation as a kid.
terrible sounds.
Hello to whoever sees this 👋 😁😁😁
Hi mate
Hey there
Heyyo
Hi
bye 🚶🏿
This was a Fantastic video!!!! Easy to understand and straight to the pint!!! Thank you SOOOOOOO much!!!
Well, I kinda found this information genuine & pretty much helpful. Lucky me, just yesterday I decided to buy clothes this weekend, & was a little confused as to how to judge the quality, but now I guess I can. I'll try out these tips for sure. 🙂🙂
I agree with the other things you say, but what you said about the the different colours of stiching is just wrong, that could be part of the design.
"Shopping is a great thing to do,"
Makes it sound like a service to your community lol
Now i realize why girls takes much time while shopping
Now u know my friend 😂
True
😂
Thank you for these Great tips.
Thank you for the tips....😊😊😊
I somehow really relate to #1 I had a leggings that wasn't patterned properly and didn't realise until a couple times of wearing it 😂
are polyamide and elastane natural fibers?
Why did she say at least 80% & then mark 67% as correct i dont understand...
4:33
polyamide and elastane is not natural fibers, personally I don't might elastane it is alternative word for spandex both means the same stuff ultra stretchy to make your clothes stretchable which only takes up 1-7% of the clothes fabric on average. polyamide, polyester, nylon, acetate, acrylic, lyrca, microfiber all these are plastic fibers for fabric purpose are made differently but they are still fabric and will pollute the ocean each was especially microfiber releasing micro plastic into the ocean. it's better to get 90%+ natural fiber, lowest being 75% it gets rather hot in hot countries having counts lower than that range
Love this video.Just awesome.
The sound effects are a bit too loud to me. They seem louder than the speech in the video.
Honestly it is really helpful i didn't realize that next time whoever is buying clothes in malls and shopping online .
1:20 you know there is a fabric called "Muslin", worn by the kings and queens in the 19th century, especially Empress Josephine, and it is so translucent that it is compared to flowing water. Btw, Muslin's thread count was 800-1200. 🇧🇩 🇧🇩
Thx for your good tips
Very useful vid for me! Learn a few new tips 😁
Very useful video
I enjoyed every second of it lol
I know it may sound weird but it's true
Thanks alot ❤️
By the time you've done all these checks, the item will be out of fashion 😒
Cutie Pie lol!
Cutie Pie good style is never out of fashion.
Cutie Pie if you are buying trendy pieces that is, investment and this much research is only with it for classic wardrobe staples
Yeah, but you'll be able to keep it long enough for it to come back into fashion. My mom bought quality bell bottoms in the 70's, she gave them to me when they came back in the 2000's.
Who cares about fashion?
I don't understand the 12th with the zipper.
Very Useful
U guys make Awesome videos
Indeed, really helpful 😃😍
5:45 yay I have the same good quality shirt
I once saw synthetic leather men's belts at a mall. Its good that I didn't buy them because I discovered that the surface of the belts got scratched easily by my thumbnail! It's good no one was looking because I damaged quite a number that was on display.
Loooooove this!
7th tip is BS. Pure cotton lasts much longer than mixed with polyester or elastane (or whatever brand name for it out there like lycra)!🚩
No.14- THere are so frabrics that are fine fabrics, that you can see through.
Nice tips
Ty
WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS ? 🎅🎄🎉🎁🎅

The 70's show?
Color fastness especially rub fastness,rob the fabric and see if the dye comes off or the extra starch rubbing off

Any one knows whats the material used for Brand G2000 formal trousers?
Nyc vid...
I was watching a episode of forensic files and saw a case with the cheap shirt and how the pocket didn’t match the rest of the pattern. If a man tried to talk to me and the pattern doesn’t match it drives me crazy now😂😂 dude get a quality shirt lol
Could someone explain the avoiding open zippers?
The zipper bit they (along with a fee others) is wrong. They are saying that plastic zips that dont have a covering are poor quality. They arent, plastic zips can be just as long lasting as metal ones and don't necessarily need a cover flap, invisible zips for instance. It depends on the clothing design. With zips check they are attached with a straight, uniform stitch (I'm a seamstress)
That minions is so cute 😘😘
Ask for the SGM of the cloths and sort of cotton,
For cotton lovers Swizz cotton, Shinker cotton, Regular cotton.
So ask the seller which cotton is it and this way you can predict the confortness of the clothes.
To see the quality I always hold the cloth to the light nd pull the seams to check the gap
Love it
These are more of your personal liking rather than the quality check.......
You forgot the most important tip!!!! Make sure is not made in China!!!!
Almost everything is made in China
Lol 😂

You are sent to jail for rolling dice.
But while in jail you can roll more dice.
Your friend was also in jail but he paid a fine to get out.
You do not have enough money to pay the fine.
Another friend visits you in jail but only stays a few minutes.
How do you escape?
