Reply to comment by Seaborn63 in Is there any hard evidence (not anecdotal) that "high quality" clothes actually last longer than their cheap counterparts? by bingworm
I wouldn't say "it holds up better enough to justify the price" , however, the experience is worth the price. I have to replace my costco underwear slightly more often than my saxx but the experience is worth the price over longevity cus you do get loads of pairs to bridge the gap if that's all you care about. If I had to quantify, the durability is like 20% superior and therefore durability to price isn't the value indicator to lean on.

Original comment was more just an observation of "Yes, some things can be worth the price" and not a blanket statement about all things. And I do agree with you that price shouldn't the main indicator of quality
For me it really comes down to justification of the price. I wouldn't mind trying a pair for $10 to see what it's all about, and that's what I did. The important part comes after the purchase and that's the evaluation of the product. However with an increase in price also comes more scrutiny. I may be less willing to overlook some things at that $10 price point than I would have for the $2 pair.
