Good quality reliable brands in southern Europe (Italy)?
Hello, I am kind of tired of buying shit at places like Uniqlo, Primark, Zara, etc.
The stuff you buy there just doesn't last and looks/wears terrible after the second washing machine. It's clear that those are very low quality products.
But what are the brands I could look at that offer first and foremost great quality? I don't have much budget issues (albeit I'd like to avoid 200+ $ shirts at Loro Piana or stuff like that).
Recently I've bought some polos from Ralph Lauren because i remember the quality being stellar decades ago, they really fit well and lasted me a lot, but those new products, even though I spent a lot on them, just are not...

Previous thread where someone had compiled a site with a whole database of EU brands :) https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1212368672363118613/1212368672363118613
More detailed recommendations will depend on which type of items you're looking for / what styles you like
value-wise old Ralph Lauren from second hand stores or online marketplaces like Vinted is very good, I have a few of their shirts and such
old Armani from collezione or giorgio armani lines is surprisingly cheap if you hunt about
