I already pay more for my clothes, namely because only specific brands have my sizes. So yeah, my partner pays way less for clothing. Same with shoes, I have a 48eu and I'm forced to buy expensive brands just because, while my partner can buy cheaper shoes with waaay more choices.
What's your point?

I don’t see the problem with pricing clothes depending on how much material was used.

the difference in price would be so small you wouldn’t even care
the price of your clothing is mostly supply chain “middle-men” taking their share, not the source material nor the people actuality bringing it to shape. especially with synthetic materials
if it weren’t true (i.e. if the material actually cost that much), stores wouldn’t literally destroy / trow away brand new pieces clothes just to “refresh” every couple of weeks
