There's no benefit in producing robust clothing that can be washed and worn over many years if the populace at large is unwilling to pay for that robustness.

You'll just spend money to get provide a feature very few people actually care about and you'll hurt your competitiveness.

Much of the population was trained to be good little consumers and that's just what they are doing.

That’s not what I asked. I asked if gothy-style belt-heavy clothes would work to handle the vast array of bit of clothing might be obligated to handle, while still looking its intended style.
