Think about how many times a garment has been handled -

first in the making of the fabric
then in laying it out to be cut
then who knows how many people worked on it
then when it is packed
then when it is unpacked
then when it is in the store
then when it is tried on - by how many people?

And finally in the customer's home.

Just saying -
