Do Burtons still make decent quality clothes?

Posted by OmegaRider@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 8 comments

Was looking up them up to see if they still exist and saw they got bought out in 2021. I haven't bought anything from them since they closed down their physical stores, so i thought i'd ask if their quality dropped before i go drop money on replacement jeans.

"Still"? I do not think they ever made decent clothes? Maybe in the original 1960s version but the modern version was always for kids without much money. As for the online version that will be "name only" as it is owned by boohoo who specialism is cheap and cheerful.

Cheap and cheerful read fast fashion. 2 washes and they have defects, was ok when you were paying less than £10 for a pair of jeans, but not at £30.

No, the quality of apparel on offer declined substantially approximately 30 years ago. It's been selling shite for years.

“Still” does not belong in your sentence. My suggestion is to get jeans from a jeans brand - Levi’s, Wrangler, Lee, etc. If out of budget, it’s very easy to get brand-new (or very close to) pairs for much less on Vinted
