$.02:

- American Giant is pretty good for their pullover hoodies. They'll wear out at the cuffs first, but I've kept a single hoody in use for like five years with some repair stitching.

- Standard Issue makes good waffle knit shirts. They'll last a few years depending on how often you wash them.

- Duluth Trading makes some good cotton shirts and boxers. Quality has declined slightly, but they're the best plain cotton shirts and boxers I've found so far.

- Big John makes denim jeans on old Levi looms. They even use cotton stitching.

- Carhartt makes some okay dressy dungarees. Their work pants are worthless these days though (in my experience). They've been pivoting to lifestyle for a few years now.

- Filson in my opinion has declined, but they're still pretty good. The socks are great, but they're overpriced.

(Only posting this because I've struggled finding decent clothes myself and it's hard to tell what's good when you're shopping online)

Darn tough for socks and Brunt for hoodies, I would add to this list. I'm hard on clothes and they survive me.

They also have a lifetime warranty which is great. With enough use their socks still eventually wear out, but you can get a new pair for free.

Carhartt are the most durable clothes I own. Whatever Levi’s did, their jeans went from lasting years to literal months before they would rip. Had the same 3 pairs of Carhartt work pants for half a decade with no end in sight.

Maybe something changed between 2020 and 2025, shrug
