Through this experiment I discovered that in my closet I have 90 articles of clothing. I began making an Excel spreadsheet of their country of origin but very quickly began to realize that most of my clothing was made in El Salvador, Bangladesh, and China. From just my hanging clothes I owned only four items of that were made in the USA.
I have a pretty varied combination of clothes in regards to if things were bought new or used. I'm the youngest in my family and have a lot of hand-me-downs; When I do by things new it is usually at a concert where I know the merch table workers and I can get discounts, and I like to find unique items at thrift stores because it's more environmentally/economically friendly. But things like black denim jeans that I wear everyday, well those I like to have new.
Other than black jeans, I love to wear t-shirts usually with a graphic for a band or some pop-culture reference on them. Most of my money for clothes is spent on concert merch. I like to support bands directly rather than going to a chain store to get a shirt for a band I like. Because of this I was a bit surprised with how much I own. Also I don't wear a lot of color so I tend not to shop for it. I'm pretty good about shopping, mainly because I'm a broke college student and can't afford it, but also because I hate large crowds. I usually buy things when they start to wear down, and only then do I go into stores, especially for things like jeans and white shirts because I like to try those on.
