There is only one name brand of under garmet I purchase for the top part and that playtex, only one I can get that fits right. As for the bottom half, as long as it's cotton I don't care what brand. Food, I don't necessarily purchase name brands, because you do pay for the name, when a lesser brand is just as good. The name brand packers many times pack the lesser brand labels as well. They just do not use the grade a product the name brand like Delmonte or Green Giant gets. Clothing, levi, wrangler, cotton t shirts is my normal mode of dress. I always shop the discount rack at Walmart for T shirts, some I get for $3.99 on clearence. Found two hoodies last year for three dollars each. Now cookware and cutlery I do insist on name brand cephlaon pans, and I have Wolfgang Puck cutlery. They do take some special care in washing etc. But with care they last forever. I have several pieces of cast iron skillets and they are all Lodge Cast Iron pans except for one real oldie and its a Griswold. Nancy
