Having worked in the manufacturing industry I can tell you this with utmost confidence:

Wal-Mart clothes are precisely as expensive as they should be.

All other clothes are also precisely as expensive as they should be.

There's a very good reason why Wal-Mart clothes are 1/3 the price of other chains, and that word starts with a capital Q. Most people who've never worked in manufacturing call bullshit on this, but they really, really don't know the reality of things. You do get what you pay for.

Besides quality, Wal-mart also has one of the most efficient stocking and distribution processes in the world. There is hardly a facet of their business that the folks in Bentonville have not tried to optimize.
