  Haven’t bought Bonds in years because it’s now overpriced and the last time I checked them out the cuts were really weird

  Yep. Undies and socks are much thinner.

  It’s awful. The fabric is tissue thin and the elastic in the underpants stretches out of shape within 6 months. I am completely happy paying a premium price for good quality basics, I just which I could find some! My money is available for any brands willing to make a decent product. I suspect there’s little incentive though, because dirt cheap material costs and frequent repurchase is probably more profitable than higher quality and lasts longer. The modern economy has deemed I must wear shit undies.

  Complete shit. Mostly the underwear. And vastly overpriced for the ‘quality’. Don’t even bother with their socks/underpants - go to Kmart/Target for those. Kmart has good bamboo fibre socks, my last lot from there has lasted about 3 years on high rotation which is good for socks I reckon. Bonds still has reasonable trackie daks and hoodies.

  As colour isnt as good as it used to be either. Step ones are complete crap too! I’m wearing uniqlo and wayver stuff a fair bit lately for a combination of cost and seems to last ok.

    That’s a real shame. I fucking love as colour tshirts.

      SAME! they are my main go to. But yeah quality just aint as good as it used to be. Mind you its still better than the cheap country road crap I brought at the same time, and better than bigw/kmart junk. But the Wayver have lasted better so far. Uniqlo airism still beats them all but I find fairly limited colours.

        The as colour white classic Tshirt is the greatest tshirt I’ve ever owned lol.

        I usually have at least 5 or 6.

  Their baby stuff has been good but it doesn’t surprise me it’s all on a downwards trend

  I definitely noticed they have cheaped out with the manufacturing. Fewer pockets, sticky zippers and lighter fabric weights.

  The chesty singlets are still the same, twice the price. The jocks on sale 5for$10 tend to last me ~4 years.

    I bought the bonds trunks and they got a rip in them barely 6 months later.
