I've had the same pair for about 5 years as well. Battery life sucks now, but they're fantastic earbuds otherwise

I don't know what everyone else is talking about ITT. I spent $75 on mine 6 years ago from the Bose website and they still sound and charge great!

Lol, so true!

No, that's not an affiliate link - it's just a regular one

Uniqlo has decent basics for the price

I love Duluth Trading pants! This is one of the few brands that actually fit me and doesnt slide down when I sit down.

Uniqlo

(quality like the Gap in the 90s but better)

Something I do with more delicate clothes is use the coolest part of my coolest dryer cycle for short periods of time and then open the dryer door for a bit to partially cool them down. Line drying became impractical but the clothes are holding up well this way. Just takes a bit longer x

This is a bit on the expensive side but I really recommend Outlier. They have a subreddit r/outlier - they make very high quality stuff and it’s definitely built to last. Really I got one pair of slim dungarees and it became my favorite brand I think though expensive there’s actually a decent value there for what you get and how durable it is. I have a pair I’ve worn at least weekly for a few years and is still holding up great.

Thrifted mountain hardwear a while back. They're amazing. Found some Kuhl at the same time. Nice and thin, breathable, but notably less durable. Also the pockets are small?...

Anyway, I second mountain hardwear.

I actual recommend banana republic (not outlet) even though it is a mall brand. recently they’re using nice material (silk, wool, cotton etc) and are nicely priced when on sale (downside to this is you can’t return final sale items from online purchases).

I think cotton and linen are the only 2 worth buying. Anything else, forget it

Not in Europe, but do use 240V so presumably have the same products. Would recommend anything wahl, the super trimmer is a good choice.

Patagonia. Carhartt. Polo. J crew. LL bean. Stuff from REI.

No it doesn't. It takes an obscenely small amount of effort to clean something, especially like this, before posting a photo of it. It also helps to see how well the plastic holds up under the grime and wax. Also mediocre IEMs from an overhyped brand on BIFL?...

This guy isn't not fun at parties, OP just came in and crashed ours.

This sub is really really going to shit.

2nd chuck 70’s. They’ll never go out of style.

Everlane!! One of my all time favorites for wardrobe staples; their jeans are amazing, awesome tees and sweaters. I shop on Poshmark for this brand too.

For women’s stuff: Nisolo is great for shoes, Able has really decent prices, MM Lafleur has basics and business casual, and Boden has cute stuff.

Quince has AMAZING prices for cashmere, washable silk, and linen, but they’re a newer company and I can’t speak to how my purchases will hold up over time. However, I’ve bought some solid gold jewelry pieces from Quince that I never take off, and they’ve held up beautifully.

I’ve also been on the hunt for more sustainable and better quality clothes, I found this site a good source of info:

Edit to add: vintage Levi’s rule. If that’s your thing, check out this.is.loved on Instagram, she shows how to find your size in vintage denim. I found a pair of mom jeans from 1998 that I love.

Buy these things used. Thred up has great selection. Quality clothes, discount, and less waste.

I’ve been happy with J Crew, their t-shirts and jeans are especially nice imho. Keep an eye on their sales and you can find very good deals.

I would argue for linen of cotton as it is a stronger and more durable fiber, but with all things it really depends on who makes it (i.e. a great cotton sheet can outlast a crummy linen sheet, but a great linen sheet will outlast me.) I recommend linoto from my personal experience. That being said some people don't like linen so ymmv.

For casual or outdoor labor, Duluth Traders is fantastic. Women, the pants have POCKETS!! Also for outdoor or casual, some Carharts last.

The company has several lines, some are better than others. Some fabrics hold up better than others as well, even if the construction is good. Their men’s dress snd casual shirts are as good as they have ever been, their denim is still great. If you buy a lightweight polyester dress, it’s just not going to have the longevity.

Both have outlet mall stores in the US with lower prices on certain things

One could argue whether or not it was even a typo. 🤷‍♂️
