This never sounded right to me, but I don't know much about stuff like this, so I emailed a couple of different fabric companies, and simply asked them. Here's their reply:
Good Morning Stephanie,
This is total nonsense. We don’t have the time or the energy to make different fabrics for the shops and walmart. So in short, the answer is NO. Everyone gets the same version.
Thanks.
Scott
I am still waiting to hear from the other companies.
I know this to be true as I worked in a garment factory for 15+ years. The shirts we made were all cut from the same material, sewn with the same thread and on the same machine. The label the collar girls stitchen was what determined where it went and what the price was. I learned then that fabric was all the same if it was cotton.
