Quality is only one of the factors I look at with clothing. I could find the best made t-shirt in the universe but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it if it wasn't exciting in some way. Most of my clothing never wears out from a functional standpoint anyways. I usually get bored with it before it bites the dust. I honestly can't remember the last piece of clothing I wore out.
I guess my values when it comes to clothing are different. I look for fit and style first then, perhaps, quality and maybe price. But, I'd rather have a $75 shirt that I get a lot of wear out of for one or two seasons than a closet full of $20 boring shirts that will last me 6 years. I tend to like change more than that.
And, as for the argument that I could make that at home.....well, then do it if that's how you want to spend your time. I am in the process of knitting a scarf at the moment. I still will pay a decent amount of money for a great scarf at the drop pf a hat.
There's much more to quality and design than just technique. That principle can be applies to most creative endeavors. Personally, while I admire good technique, it is the creativity that really thrills me.
