In the last three years the price of cotton has risen, went down a little then rose again. Fabric prices seem to follow the rise in cotton cost but not the ebb.
I don't know where you shop for jeans but last night my mom was looking for a specific style of Levis that she loves. The last pair she bought years ago she paid $29 for, the one place we found them last night they were $75. She decided to keep wearing the old ones, lol.
