#btw one thing I LOVE about 28 is that it doesn’t market itself as sustainable in anyway

[dreamings-free]

Adding a 4 or a 5xl would be absolutely impossible and a complete waste. A unisex 2XL is already a 4XL for women. And as you said a unisex 5XL would actually cost much more, like at least 30/40% more and then fans would start complaining saying they ara fatphobic or things like that.

I wouldn’t be so blunt as to say it’d be a waste but I do think the production costs and therefor the actual sales price would be an issue for many. and it might sound crazy at first glance but I don’t think your 30-40% price increase is far off at all. because it isn’t just additional material consumption it’s additional costs of logistics (fewer sizes to a box, higher item weight etc etc which all adds to costs that then adds to price) also you’re correct; the unisex 2xl does match a standard size women’s 4xl

I do think it’s a real issue not for 28 specifically but in general that larger sizes are so costly to make and many brands can’t or won’t shoulder the additional cost or price hike. (but also we as consumers have a skewed view of what clothes should actually cost because a $10 t-shirt isn’t actually possible to produce without someone somewhere not getting paid for they labour..)

okay this got long haha

#but then I could talk about this all day #we need a revolution in the clothing industry because it is socially ethically and environmentally unsustainable as it is now #and we need to buy less shit.. even if it’s good shit :) #anon asks #28 clothing #clothing industry #btw one thing I LOVE about 28 is that it doesn’t market itself as sustainable in anyway #some brands would literally use the fact that it’s produced in europe as a sustainability marker and i that’s just all kinds of wrong #and yes anon in my inbox about just that; I’ll reply to you i a sec ;)
