That you will remember the quality long after you have forgotten the price.
It is largely true. I have shirts that have been around for over 10 years. Now that I live in a place with seasons my clothes are likely to last longer in years. I have stored the winter things now until October, or so.
I have put a few things on a heavy rotation to wear them out. I'm tired of some but too penurious to toss them out. One has had arm seam sewn back in by me. We wash with a high efficiency washer and only dry things like sheets and towels.
