I bought a pair of swim shorts at Walmart like 5 years ago. They are still going strong, no wear and tear at all and dirt cheap. I bought a pair of Maui and Sons shorts for like 10x the price, 6 months later they are falling apart.
Moral of the story: sometimes way cheaper shit is actually better than way more expensive shit. You can buy $10 handbags at walmart that will out last a $500 Louis Vuitton handbag. Many times what your paying a premium for is a brand name, but the materials are the same between the cheap and the expensive. overpaying for something doesnt always equate to better quality in my experiences.
Now apologize to the good people of Walmart!!
