Even in China, not gonna happen. Or if it does, the thread count will be so thin it will fall off you after a one hour wearing. For something decent, figure $100 up. Look at the quality of the fabric you are buying. $30 for a suit? Even in China, not gonna happen. Or if it does, the thread count will be so thin it will fall off you after a one hour wearing.

Of course we are all itching to negotiate an incredibly low price as well. I've heard that it isn't too far-fetched to expect to be able to buy a well tailored silk or wool suit for $30. I suppose these plans quiet our complaints about labor rights if we are just waiting eagerly (whether we realize it or not) to get our chance to jump on the exploit-the-Chinese bandwagon.
