It's kind of the real annoying problem when it comes to wanting to buy clothes that aren't feeding sweatshops...

IE, you find clothes that are cheap, you immidiately know "well no way things are this cheap without labor abuses". But then at the same time you also are aware "just because it's expensive doesn't mean they don't also use the same labor abuses, just pocket bigger profit".

that is true, probably the only way that you can know at least 2 good things. 1. You aren't encouraging any extra slavework to be done, 2. you are reducing waste (or at least increasing usage of what's already been made).
