Clothes & Moths

Last night's episode of SEINFELD (mostly old episodes and reruns) where Cosmo was attacked by Jason 's father when he noticed the cabana shirt he was wearing was actually his own polo-shirt. Jason  sold his father's clothes to Rudy's secondhand store and Cosmo was first to have bought those cabana polo-shirts. The rest of the old stocks of second-hands were then burnt by the second-hand store owner because they were infested with moths.

Where moths came from?

OMG! That's crazy! It's crazy to think that moths came from wriggly worms or caterpillars.

Why on clothes? The fabric, the textiles are produced from fibers of plants (cotton, jute, jusi)  and trees and grass (rayon from bamboo) wool are produced from yarn from animals skin/hides such as from sheep and leather textiles are produced from animals skin such as from cattle, horse, buffallo, etc. while silk fabric is from raw silk production called sericulture ( silkworms spinned itself round and round until they became pupas and when they are mature enough these round pupas are then boiled on hot water and silky yarn can be derived from such long process of threading).

So if you see moths on your clothes inside the closet, beware! Throw your clothes or save your expensive clothes (suits) by washing them on hot water or cold water whatever is the required direction attached to the back neckline of your suit. 4x a year (dry clean is okay)  if you don't use them or just for display. Otherwise you'll have moths in your closet. You can give them as donations if you don't really use them or if came out of style.

Isn't that weird that a second-hand store in the U.S. buys used clothing when some people just donate their clothes for charity? I think it has something to do with how valuable your clothes are. Yes, people some clothes have sentimental value.

Look at those department stores with only sales clerks inside. Where are the people or customers for such department stores? What's going on? I feel a sense of loneliness whenever I see an empty department stores, without customers. And there's more customers inside second-hand stores.
