Defies description but ok I’ll try:
Late diagnose high masking AuDHD, OG grrl, GenX, curious, creative, gifted, fiercely loyal, annoyingly naïve, dogmom, catmom, nothumanmom, Swedish, trilingual … phew. And more.
There’s no bleeding of colors despite yarn used going from white via orange to dark brown. Stitches are clean. It’s still fitted with a clear waist and flared sleeves.

I have many other examples from more fancy brands, but somehow this level of quality from an H&M garment makes my point stronger.

I am washing pretty much the entirety of my wardrobe, and I see a pattern emerging.
Items 20+ years old are in much better shape than newer pieces.

Pictured is a sweater from the late 90s maybe early 00s Machine washed for the nth time, still “as new”

Incredibly, this is H&M before fast fashion
