That's because Fanatics took over the jersey manufacture and cut the quality. Fanatics sucks in all sort of dimensions.
Is fanatic some localized term for capitalists I'm not aware of?

Serious question: If I wanted to buy quality "boots with the fur" (a.k.a uggs), what is a good brand these days? (Is Hacker News even the right place to be asking fashion and fashion brand questions?)

There is a kinder variant for such - prosecco, which can actually mean OK quality (within sparkling stuff bounds, which are not high). But yeah calling anything Champagne apart from stuff coming from Champagne is a bad form and looked down upon a bit. Small kids do such mistakes and thats fine, adults shouldn't.
Not all adults care about the origin location nor should they.
You will get an entirely different style of wine.
The origin location is really secondary. “Franciacorta” gets you something like Champagne, “sparkling wine” does not.

>Now, all the villagers can get cheaper horseshoes, so they don’t have to spend as many resources on shoes for their horses, and can now invest more into what their village is best at, and sell those goods to other villages. And for a village that had 50 such specialties... they can make do with 49 specialties. Then with 48. And 45 as well. 25 eventually. But some day in the future, their great-grandchildren wake up,…

Well, as a global population reduction is sorely needed, this is good for pretty much everybody. There's absolutely no way we can keep extracting resources and polluting at the rate demanded by our current enormous population (which has more…
Retards in the 1960s believed such. But the reality is that it's not even needed a little. And subreplacement fertility isn't "population reduces for a bit, then stabilizes"... subreplacement fertility is actually "the population continues to shrink, accelerating and shrinking faster until extinction inevitably ensues".
So you're not really a "I want a lower population", you're part of a death cult that wants humans gone. Forever.
>this is good for pretty much everybody.
It hasn't been good for anyone, except some tiny minority that is measured as much less than 1%.
>There's absolutely no way we can keep extracting resources and polluting at the rate demanded by our current enormous population (which has more than doubled in my life time).
Already shrinking. Visibly, indisputably shrinking. And the western world isn't doing the polluting.
>Unfortunately, your theory isn't working, as the population still grows.
No, it already stopped growing. Ran out of gas, but as the car coasts to a stop you can delusionally pretend that the engine's still on, and that we aren't coasting up the hill. If somehow I were wrong, it wouldn't be unfortunate at all, it'd be a wondrous miracle.
I asked my wife once, how to tell whether a fashion accessory is a knock-off. She said: “look at the woman”.
