To me, it is a price per use assessment. I have a hoodie that is about 20. Except for a few years spent in the tropics, I have worn that thing a ton every year.

I have another hoodie that is slightly older but has nowhere near the number of wears in it. It is closer to getting repurposed. Do when I SM looking for quality for my next purchase, I am looking at the characteristics of the former over the latter.
