Follow-up from PattyClink - I heard on the news today that people are noticing thrift stores as a source of clothes now that tariffs are in place. It's where I always get my jeans, and some of my dressier blouses and sweaters. Those of us who regularly shop there may have some competition. And yes, keeping the good fabric makes sense.

A friend buys cashmere sweaters and does any repairs and sells them. The cashmere we get today is not nearly as good as the older stuff because of the marketplace and the way it is managed (in Mongolia).
