Expencive clothing( FC)

            Is it worth it to by expensive clothing? Prior to answering this question let’s not focus on our want but our needs.  Take the time to understand how clothing is made and how much is money is actually spent on the expensive clothing we were verses how much we spend on them. Wearing cloths is a basic human characteristic from back in the earlier time period of wearing animal skin until discovering cotton and other different types of fibers.

           

            What you wear tells a lot about you as an individual. In our society we tend to judge people based on what they wear this can be proven by a study made by sociologist Ben C. Fletcher. He carried out a research with over 300 adults (men and women). They looked at images of a man and a woman for just 3 seconds before making 'snap judgments' about them. In some of the pictures the man wore a made-to-measure suit. In others he wore a very similar off-the-peg suit bought on the high street. The differences in the suits were very minor they had controlled color and fabric, as well as making sure the face of the model was pixilated so that there could be no hidden messages in the facial expressions. The result of this research showed that after 3 seconds of viewing each picture they decided that the man with the made-to-measure had a review of having more confidence, successful, flexible, and a higher earner than when he wore a high street suit mind you this was the same model in both suits.

            Most of the cloths that we wear today are made from cotton. The cloths that were made in early times wear actually handmade but today since technology advanced. We are able to make more things at once and respond to supply in demand faster. People wear cloths depending on what region they live in what we as New Yorker's think is in style and trendy is played out and made fun of somewhere else and vice versa. ”The process starts by harvesting mature cottons. Then the mature balls are placed in machine which blows the ball away from the cotton and leaving only the fibers resembling puffy cotton balls. It is then placed in cotton gin to clean and remove the seeds from it. In the past, the cotton was spun on the spinning wheel that was operated using foot pedal. But in the recent years, the process is done using electrical power. It is important for the yarn to be carded before placing the cotton to the loom. It is where the cotton is stretched across the drum, brushing any impurities before lying flat on the loom.” (“How is it made?”)
