I'll be direct again, because you've thrown me some bones to chew on again. Given that I deal with used clothes every day that I repair—even new ones—I tell you the state of your clothes depends entirely on you. Some don't care about maintenance at all, happily throw softshell in the washing machine and boil it, then come to me crying and sell me the fairy tale that they didn't boil it at all. I think, yeah, I'm not from yesterday. How then the jacket won't fall apart? Exactly such a case I had with one lady after one year (hellooooooo, after one year of wearing the jacket, to claim warranty—in my opinion they're a bit crazy in Maya Maya to even accept it). But pants then also after some half year, e.g., they give for warranty because the elastic stretched. Aja, yeah sure, and my car is also a good year old—what if I take it back to the salon? A bunch of km and scratches, yeah, and tires already worn, yeah I want a new one. That's how some customers behave when their warranty is rejected. Yeah, so when I told her she boiled it and even dried it in the dryer, she started whining, but in the end she figured her husband probably accidentally boiled and dried it in the machine. These sports clothes ARE WASHED AT MAX TO 40 DEGREES AND NEVER EVER DRIED IN DRYERS. And many folks don't stick to that, then we're where we are. I had a case where I repaired three same jackets, all the same age, bought in the span of a few months. Pity I didn't photo them so you'd see the oldest like new, the youngest like pulled out of a cow's ass—sorry. Some really know how to care, some even pull the zipper so forcibly, good that it doesn't rip out on the way. Oh, because you made me curious, I bought in Maya Maya t-shirts, jacket, and full tracksuit. I said to see if it's really such crap as you write here. Prices are, well, some in the normal range, some quite expensive, without discount absolutely overpriced. Oh, gaiters I looked at—17€. Never in life do I come across such a price if I go sew them, so I send customers there, because I don't like someone throwing under my nose saying at you they're 25€. T-shirts really pilled on me, but I go every weekend to the mountains. Pilled from rucksack, from sweat. Jacket after two washes still very nice purple. Tracksuit quite ok. I'd shorten it, but last time I bought three bottoms in different stores—catastrophe, indeed they were 10€ cheaper than Maya Maya, but horror how pilled (Maya's too, but nothing compared to these). Yeah, what if I take them back? Seriously thinking, or go to ZPS.............
