Yes, when it comes to buying new clothes we middle-class Americans all "live like kings" in a very literal sense

Sort of off on a tangent - I was friggin 12 years old in 1970 and watched my mom sew designs based on the Sears catalog. Now in my August years, people need to be told what Sears was. Tears are welling in my eyes.

26yo now and still i lived the "only wears clothes my mother sew or secondhand". Up until now, most my clothes are secondhanded or bought from a thrift shop. But the prices are quite high if compared to the USA. Slavery still carries that country on its back.

Even if you wanted to make your own clothes now, it’s so prohibitively expensive. It’s 1970s Sears catalog prices just for the fabric.

It's 1970's prices just for the pattern now.

Also clothes were better made and expected to last for more than 3 or 4 washings before coming apart at the seams

Clothes were expected to last for 3 or 4 *kids.*
