Raw denim's still available, and I have a pair in 16oz denim standing up (!) in the corner. It sure isn't $41 anymore though.
But, to echo you, fabric (like most else) is crap these days. Lowest bidder for the lowest price to you (but of course highest profit for them).
I have a light merino wool sweater from the banana-joint that was made in the late 90s and it's still going strong. I bought one that I thought was similar, though oddly it had the same $ price, 20 years later and it pilled up/went to crap in three wearings.
