    Anyone got any clever way to avoid this? Like when I find the exact product ID on the clothing tag, does that one change usually when they change the materials?

      Look at the tag on the item you already have. It should have a breakdown of the percentage of each material used. Compare to the product you’re buying, which should also list the materials in the product specs.

        This doesn’t always work, though, because, say, for instance, it was made with 100% polyester. They could change the type of polyester or the quality of the supplier, and the tag would stay the same.
