Yes, clothing is very inexpensive there. Two things to watch out for:
1. Sizes vary, that is two pair of shorts of the same design from the same manufacturer labeled as the same sizes can actually be quite different in size. I don't know if they are mislabeled in the factory or if there is a lack of precision when assembling. The solution is of course to try everything on or alternatively have a tape measure to compare waist sizes, inseams, etc.
2. Quality varies in much the way I described size above, even from the same manufacturer one item might be of a thin cheap material or not sturdily stitched while another might be excellent in every way.
