Rather invest your money in training equipment at your home gym,
if you haven't already done so yet.

if you haven't already done so yet.

They are soft AF and look good. no logos on any of their stuff that I have seen. Just good American made clothing. 50% of my Ts are from them I and highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality without the price tag of a label. I’ve had them for a few years now and no issues.

Some of their field shirts are like a jacket with jean stitching, like this one, and are designed to be a much tougher. Its like a Jean jacket. I own this one and it’s my favorite “jacket” to this day.

Just a heads up, im not as hard on my nice Ts as some might be. I wear Hanes “gray neck” premium Ts for work and play, but have worn the BM Ts at least 100 times each, put them through the washer and dryer, and they are still looking good.
I’ve been thinking about buying one of the field Ts to test them out. I bet they are really comfortable.

At my age now I am really am digging the Buck Mason style more than most things. More of the nice quality but rustic look. I have a sherpa jacket very similar to that field shirt in that link, but definitely not that good of quality.
I'm probably going to buy a few t shirts tomorrow haha. I need some before spring.

So I looked at the trail shirts closer and discovered they are a performance blend. Probably best if it’s hot. The Pima tends to cling to me when it’s hot and I’m sweating, so that might be something to consider. I live in Texas though, so do what you will with that info.

Invest in really good undershirts that you can wear under the nice shirts and sweaters or whatever you buy. Ideally, depending on the material too you'll wash a good piece of clothing either never or after several wears and air dry it. Good built clothing will last forever that way.

Not high quality but just have enough clothes to look good. Brand name doesn't matter that much if your colors match and you're confident.
Still gotta work your way up to brands that NPCs don't know out of pride though srs being able to afford expensive chit matters

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

So i never walked into an H+M but a google search found this entry, lmao.
The quality of H&M's clothes is really poor. Some clothes are very thin. After buying them and washing them several times, they not only wrinkled like a rag but also pilled!
Upper class design + upper class tailoring, used on fabrics that are not upper class.
So, don't expect to wear these clothes for a season, it only takes 15 days from new arrival to delivery, we are not so fast for professional fabrics.
Therefore, it takes about 15 days for the brand's utilization rate of a piece of clothing and its time to market. So, if you are looking for value for money, don't choose such a brand. Although the single purchase amount is not high, continuous purchases can drive you crazy.
I stick to Macys and Nordstrom, but i actually walk into the physical store and touch the fabrics because the "game" now is to put pretty pics online and mail you cheap China crap.

They fit excellently and were very comfortable but then a hole wore in the crotch so fast it was like their were made of tissue paper.
A total waste of money.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect plain solid-colored t-shirt for over a decade now (srs). So far, BYLT is the best I've found for the money, specifically the lux material, drop cut shirt:
https://byltbasics.com/products/drop...39543454924902
You can do the bundle to get multiple shirts for ~$20-25 per shirt and they fit and look better than any shirt I've tried so far. Lululemon is also really nice, but BYLT is better and half the price

Ten Wardrobe Must-Haves
Your personal wardrobe should always be evolving. The general rule is that you should throw out, or donate to charity, anything you haven’t worn in the last two years. The key is downsizing. Lose the frumpy, sentimental stuff, and change with the times. Keep the T-shirt you love, but lose the reindeer sweater your mother bought you back when you were tragic. In the final analysis, the perfect male wardrobe is infinitely - and thankfully - less complicated than the female wardrobe. Obviously, you need to find what works for you, but here are ten elements that you really shouldn’t be without:
- Three black T-shirts, three new white T-shirts
- Two different pairs of flattering jeans
- One dark suit
- One leather or suede short coat (not a bomber jacket)
- Two rollneck or crewneck cable-knit sweaters
- Two pairs of dark, straight-leg, nonpleated pants
- Three well-cut, solid-color, button-down shirts (one white)
- Quality sunglasses
- One expensive watch, one sports watch
- Flattering underwear
Fashion Don’ts for the Metrosexual Man:
Before you create your new self, you may want to review the following list of unforgivable crimes:
- Varsity jackets
- White shoes
- Colorful vests
- Christmas sweaters
- Bolo ties
- Pleated or cuffed jeans
- Acid-washed anything
- Mesh anything
- Cropped pants
- Boots with shorts
- Gym shorts with shoes
Do’s and Don’ts...
* Pirate shirts, loud patterns, buckles, and zippers are for circus performers and boy bands.
* Pleated pants are history. Slim-fit, straight-leg pants make you look longer and sharper.
* Your clothes should conform to your body. Spend the extra money and have suits tailored.
* Your belt and your shoes should always match, and black on black works best.
* A silver, stainless steel watchband will go with everything. Leather bands should be strong and masculine, and sport watches are for sporting occasions.
* High school or college rings are best kept in the dresser drawer until the reunion is announced.
* A slim billfold or money clip is important, as a bulging wallet will only produce unsightly lumps in all the wrong places.

fashion/"high quality" do NOT:
wearing gaudy designer logo belts (like the GG belt above)
Absolutely NOT a mog in any way to wear a $500 belt, it looks stupid, shows that somebody is a try-hard and THINKS they are superior to others and wants to show it off, just a bad look period (srs)

One particular line of Wranglers are garbage and wear out very quickly. I bought two pair and within a year they had holes in them because they wore so badly. Same with my Levi jeans. Meanwhile, my selvage jeans, both high end and low end, have lasted several years, but I was specific in the type of selvage that I was looking for. Go for raw denim if you want sturdiness, but know that the compromise if softness until you wear them for a couple years.
I agree with you on how they are woven, but that was the point of many of the posts in here. Are you paying for the label, or the construction and materials? That’s what the main concern should be if you are buying clothing to last. This is not necessarily a brand concern, because each brand can have different lines that are constructed differently with different materials.
A brand I recommended was Buck Mason. They have several different lines, one being their Field line. The seams are double stitched, the material and construction high quality, all while being very comfortable.
Another example is white undershirts. Gildan makes a great cheap shirt. It’s not as soft as other brands, but it’s great for the money. Hanes premium shirts are a step above, being much softer and good construction. Gildan is great for work stuff, but if comfort is your thing, the Hanes line is better without compromise. Generally speaking though, softness will almost always compromise sturdiness, which is why the Field line isn’t as sturdy as a pair of “Firehose” pants. Have you ever worn firehose pants? Feels like your wearing plywood on your legs.

A total waste of money.

Absolutely NOT a mog in any way to wear a $500 belt, it looks stupid, shows that somebody is a try-hard and THINKS they are superior to others and wants to show it off, just a bad look period (srs)

I am talking about stuff 1-2 steps above HnM or mid-range-ish whether it is more optimal for experience + cost/wear.
