When I was in middle school, I read a collection of essays by a master of Buddhist chicken soup literature.
There is such a plot in it:
It is said that a gourmet friend of the writer wants to recruit A cook, and the interview question he asked was not to make a banquet of delicacies or fish; it was just the simplest fried poached eggs.
Because this gourmet believes:
The simpler the dish, the more On the contrary, it tests the chef’s level even more.
In the hot summer, of course T-shirts are indispensable. Who doesn’t have 10 or 20 T-shirts at home, right?
However, although T-shirts are what we wear most, they may also be the ones we least understand. Do you often hear this argument?
Pants and jackets should be expensive; T-shirts should be cheap, there is not much difference;
The T-shirt I bought is also pure cotton, no different from the big brands;
Luxury T-shirts just sell a brand; there is no such thing logo, who knew you were wearing luxury goods?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. . .
It seems that in the eyes of most people, T-shirts are so ordinary that there is no difference, and no difference can be seen (except for the logo).
Even if there is no logo on the two T-shirts above, you can still tell the difference at a glance.
But if you were asked to explain specifically what this difference is, you might not be able to tell.
Indeed, T-shirts are so simple that they couldn’t be simpler. Simplicity makes people feel like this: except for colors, logos and patterns, all T-shirts all the same.
Looking at the part again, is the inexplicable feeling more obvious?
We often say that details determine success or failure.
This sentence is especially applicable to the production of T-shirts.
The shape is the same; but there are some differences in quality:
One piece looks relatively loose, soft, and rough;
One piece looks relatively smooth, straight, and delicate;
If you want to ask what kind of clothes are the most difficult to make, I think the white T-shirt will be one of them; because it is too simple, so simple that there is no room for improvement, just Can rely on details.
The simpler something is, the lower the threshold is; the lower the threshold is, the more difficult it is to be better than others and the more difficult it is to test your skills.
The above two pictures are a comparison between a certain fast fashion and entry-level luxury goods. The difference in fabrics is visible to the naked eye.
We often talk about high-count mercerized cotton. What is high-count mercerized cotton?
The picture above shows the difference between high-count mercerized cotton and ordinary cotton.
Silk smooth, delicate, glossy, and extremely elastic. To use an advertising slogan:
Silky smooth.
In this picture, you can see that there are obvious burrs on the surface of the fabric, while the burrs of mercerized cotton are very small and almost invisible to the naked eye.
