Modern clothes aren't designed to be fixed. It's a nightmare to get matching fabrics to make patches, and don't get me started on finding matching threads to the super-fine, flimsy acrylic threads used in jersey and on socks and on jeans.

Worst of all, it's no longer normal to fix clothes - because it's no longer necessary - so wearing something which has been patched or darned or fixed looks really, really peculiar and out of place. What sort of person nowadays can't afford new clothes?????

(The sort of person who's hyper aware that our clothes only seem cheap because the costs are passed on to the environment and the underpaid in the Global South)

Still, it looks weird and...looks matter. I'm not sure how to get around that.
