So, the wall was selling shirts for insanely cheap prices and I do not understand where they are making a profit.

I got a shirt which should cost 8 dollars for 2.5 and I don’t know if I can just wear them without concern.

Are cheap shirts safe to wear? Idk do they use chemicals which are bad for me? They made this insanely cheap and I don’t know what gives! It all says 100% cotton and its from a trusted brand but the mystery of the price still remains. I need to know before loading up on these things.

Also, bonus question, is white coloring agent more or less harmful than other colors? (Assume the most frequently used coloring agents)

    I’ve heard that basically all new clothing is treated in formaldehyde, so regardless of the source or the price, it’s best to wash all new clothing before wearing, especially for underwear.

    Side note: I would sometimes get discount clothes at Dirt Cheap (sadly they’re going out of business), and I’d usually notice some sort of harmless defect, like the pattern on the shirt would be off center or something, not like I care all that much.
