Why is the price for a nothing special shirt over $60 once you add taxes and s + h? I love Denim & Co. but the prices are outrageous! I was wondering if anyone could tell me what changed? Can fabric really have gone up that much? I'm sure most of the stuff is still made in 3rd world sweat shops, so I don't think it's workers wages so what could it be? I'm hoping beyond hope it's not greed. I hate people.

I may have part of the answer.  I read a lengthy article about this, but it was a while ago, so I may be paraphrasing a bit.

I don't recall the exact statistics, but I'll give you the gist of what I remember.  

Approximately 4-5 years ago, the cost of manufacturing cotton jumped considerably, from growing to processing to sending off to manufacturers to make whatever they planned to make.  What had already been manufactured and was in the process of being made into ... whatever ... took some time since there was plenty in the pipeline.

Anyway, as the higher-cost cotton and cotton blends made it to market, everyone noticed.  Suddenly there seemed to be a LOT more polyester around also, to offset other price increases.  Personally, I thought the polyester was too high, too.  I can't help but wonder if the price was raised to "match" cotton price increases, but that's just speculation on my part.

Anyway, what has happened, that many of us have noticed, is that whether it's cheap tee shirts at Target or better pima cotton by Issac or even very good cotton towels ... they cost a lot more than they used to.

Obviously, it's not just the higher priced raw material cotton that contributes to this, but it's definitely one part of the problem. 

A friend of mine bought a lovely, good quality washcloth at Macy's on sale today.   The regular price ... for that one washcloth .... was $20.

Workers across the world, where all your garments are manufactured, are now demanding a living wage.

QVC's clothing prices skyrocketed when they added sizes 4 &5X. Those sizes take a tremendous amount of material and to avoid charging more for extended sizes QVC divided the additional cost among all sizes. Those of us who wear the smaller sizes are paying for all that extra fabric. Add in inflation and all the salaries that QVC pays the hosts and production crews,, for 3 networks and now livestreams, and there you have it.

I know, it doesn't make ANY sense.
