Oh, that's the guy? Yeah, no thanks. He went onto an hour long rant because the state wouldn't accept his DIY scaffolding as an emergency exit.

I've never been able to wear woolen clothing. Just the thought makes me itchy.

Have you tried different types of wool? I don't like "normal" one either, but I have a tshirt out of merino wool and it doesn't itch at all.

You say "as expected" but on the opposite end of the spectrum there's primark's clothing which is largely made in Ireland. From my understanding the reason they are dirt cheap is because they lean on automation, not because of sweatshops.

Not comparing the two brands - just showing the opposite example to say it's possible to have brands that are both European AND cheap. European doesn't necessarily mean crazy expensive.

What makes you think that? Only two of the 793 factories Primark sources its products from are in Ireland and only eight of them are in the EU. (Source)

Just have a look at this or this.
