Clothing Store facts
While investigating facts about Clothing Store, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The pockets on men's dress clothing are often sewn shut to preserve aesthetics during transport to, and display in, the store. These are functional pockets that can be opened up and are not fake pockets as many assume.
85% of outlet clothing is made with lower-quality fabrics and cheaper construction than its retail counterpart. Companies like Levis, Ralph Lauren and Nordstrom have all been sued for having MSRP on their "Compare At" price tags even though the product never saw the inside of a flagship store.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 38 of the best facts about Clothing Store I managed to collect.
