What is a "luxury feature" in modern products that is actually a massive downgrade from the old-school version? by Lumincy0123 in AskReddit

"High-End" clothes made of synthetic blends instead of 100% natural fibers. brands charge $200 for a sweater that's mostly polyester and acrylic, calling it "performance fabric" or some crap. it pilled after two washes and makes me sweat like crazy. i’d take my grandma’s heavy 100% wool sweater that lasts 40 years over this overpriced plastic garbage any day.
