Always grab stuff on sale at their outlet. Looks great, fits great, and most importantly, priced great, even after all these years

Clothing is weird for me. Some pieces are the best I can afford while other pieces are the intersection of affordable and durable. Simple breakdown. Feet, spend. I wear smart wool socks almost exclusively or similar brand/quality. All footwear except flip flops is top dollar stuff. Not extravagant. Chaco sandals, Merril, New Balance, 5.10, Keen, etc. Pants and Shorts are the intersection of cheap and durable. For ages the pants/shorts of choice were dickies, now it’s Wranglers outdoor line for shorts and Magellan brand for pants. Shirts are whatever graphic tees, outdoor shirts on clearance, blood donation shirts lol, 6dollarshirts dot com, etc. Jackets, base layers, outdoor gear that can keep me alive, we go back to the top brands. Mountain hardware, Patagonia, Kuhl, Smartwool, etc. Dress nice clothing comes from nicer retailers as I rarely dress up and I will not have threads and flaws at all. I’m a big guy so DXL is my home for dressing nice, Dillards has a good big and tall too. The only items I really expect any real run of time are my work boots, mostly cause I don’t use them anymore, my dress shoes for similar reasons and I work from home now. Outter wear and most outdoor items should either last a while or I buy from brands with lifetime warranties. I’ve legit had some mountain Hardwear pants repaired 3 times now, something different each time, all free, cover the shipping there. Oh yea underwear is hit and miss whatever from Walmart or like TJ max, if I find some I like and can hold up, it’s almost certain I will never find them again so it’s just whatever there but I’d say Hanes would be the ones I land on the most. I’m brand loyal to a point, I’m rough on some items so I balance how much and what the item is and try to make solid purchases.

Clothes made by companies traditionally thought of as "skater clothes" or "surfer clothes" are pretty durable. I have a few pairs of Vans khakis, belts and shirts from similar companies, hoodies and sweaters, and collared shirts that I've had for years. They tend to be comfortable, as well. Part of the trick is reading and following the washing directions. Not everything should be washed in hot water. Most things shouldn't be dried above low heat. We tend to over soap and overheat our clothes and they wear out faster.

I could see a BIFL big-ass set of wired cans with a fat cable and gold connector. Headphones and earbuds never seem to last more than 2 years assuming I don’t lose them somewhere along the way.

Patagonia is known for hiking clothing, but they have plenty of non-technical looking stuff too and also a great workwear line.

I’m partial to L&M. I have a couple of bags from them, both around six years old and no significant signs of wear.

Costco, not the most fashionable but damn good products for good prices.
Edit: typo I think

Same quality too. They're both owned by the same parent company.

Some people may disparage you for it, I however support your lifestyle.

I’m not sure how it is across the board but in my own closet Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren, Tahari, Kenneth Cole, Adrianne Vittadini seem to have classic lines and staying power. Also some of my older Ann Taylor and JCrew pieces

My vote is for hanks. It's one of the nicest belts I've owned. Very durable very thick leather and really nice quality. The belts are expensive but they are constantly running 20% off sales. I've only owned mine about a year but it's holding up like brand new.

Try Banana Republic. It’s like an adult old navy.

Barbour and Brooks Brothers used, on eBay. Also? Making the effort to find all-natural fibers pays in the long run...it looks better and is better for you.
