I get a lot of holes in knits because A) cheap fabric and B) rural life is hard on clothes

That's interesting. I don't get holes like that, but then again, I don't tuck.

I think the culprit is leaning against counters while wearing bottoms with buttons. This has never happened to me, regardless of the quality of my tees. I'm not a "leaner", so it might be the/a reason.

I'm not a leaner, and I separate my laundry. I don't wear belts or tuck, either, so... It might be bottoms with buttons. That's the only thing, besides cheap fabric, that I can think of. I can attest to the fact that clothing quality has gone down in general. It's hard to find tops that aren't tissue thin.

You know, I've always noticed how warm and heavy finer quality clothes are. They're lined, the fabric is substantial. I mean, I don't need a puffy over my Gucci, lol.

I get these holes, and I am *so tired* of them. Most recently, an H&M shirt bought just a few months ago that really can't have been washed more than once or twice. I wear almost exclusively knit tops and am picky about styling and colors, so it's frustrating!

I think I need to upgrade my knits...

It's beyond frustrating for a top to develop holes after being worn only a couple of times.
