I certainly agree that 300$ USD should be completely reasonable for something that lasts half a decade, I'm just not sure how to get from here to there realistically (well in the 5-10 year short term).

I don't know how you can consider any $300 clothes reasonable. It doesn't cost a tenth of that to make and deliver.

Personally I made ~11000 USD last year: I consider $30 to be unaffordable, that's not the same as believing I should have to consider it unaffordable.

Well, not if you have a conscience about our ecosystem.

You ever sewn any? Some clothing is incredibly labour intensive.
