Shoddy

These are my son's new gloves.
Less than a week old and worn only a handful of times. And there's a hole in the thumb.
As I'd spend more on petrol bringing them back to the store, with the added risk that I'd purchase something else in the shopping centre, I decided it would be better if I just mended them myself.

Nikon D7000
1/80s f/2.2 at 35.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Welcome to the disposable economy, where it's usually cheaper for something to be thrown away than repaired.
Unless you know how to sew, of course.
(Not that sewing helps you with electronic equipment.)
