Cars are painted, clothes are dyed - there is a difference.....

But there is no difference as to how the Sale of goods act looks at the goods.
Both the car and the hoodie must be durable and have an acceptable appearance and finish.

As is a lot of stuff we wear. So what!

Because, my little loves, the dye they use in India usually runs because it's cheaper than permanent dye like the cheap labour. I've just washed a purple towel made in India and the water is a lovely deep mauve colour.

Considering most of the clothes we wear is made in the east it makes no odds that it was made in India. A cheaply made garment is a cheaply made garment no matter where it was manufactured and has little relevance to the OP's thread!
