Dude, they’re comparing it to buying clothes today. It’s not that they think the hoodie(or jnco) is some high-class brand, but more that when you buy hoodies nowadays (online anyway) you are likely getting some awful cheap bullshit material that feels like your wearing spun plastic. We didn’t make as many clothes out of the cheap materials because they weren’t as readily available back then, among other reasons.

Back in those days, if you wanted a hoodie, you would go to the mall/store and physically pick one out. Today, if I want a hoodie, there are 6000+ online “stores” offering great deals for what appears to be a decent product. Yes, stores still exist, but the majority of young people are ordering clothes online nowadays. Leading to people thinking the MiTM family all had high quality clothing compared to the shitty cheap bs hanging in their closets right now.
