Considering brands when shopping
Would be curious to know what your primary metric is @bishopcorrigan
IMO the fabric and the quality should definitely be a primary metric . This determines how it sits on your frame and compliments your skin/tone, the appearance it gives from close-up and a distance, and how it compliments other pieces you're wearing and even how you accessorize it.

My point was brands like Burberry, Gucci, Versace etc are not worth what they're priced. You're paying an exorbiant premium for the brand name when you can get the same quality textile/fabrics without the brand premium price tag. Any respectable tailor/mill/designer will tell you the same

"Doesn't need to be" and "don't buy" are two different things - I applied the warning that comes with these categories too. Do better

Considering brands when shopping
@Sam Diversify where you look/shop, doesn't need to be fast fashion like shein nor do I ever spend on luxury brands like burberry etc because it's all bullshit. here are some of my choices and why - hope this helps:
Zara = imo good for range of pants/shirts at a lower price and look great.
Mack Weldon = their underwear is unbeatable, I splurge on the $40 silver line and I have no regrets. I like some of their pants/jackets as traveling outerwear
Buck Mason = best quality garmets I've ever bought - period, everything from jeans to shirts to coats to button downs etc. They never ever have a sale which is how you know shit ain't bullshit. customer service is also top tier. The fashion is a bit of a mix of classic american / japanese - worth taking a look. The clothes are by no means cheap, but the only brand in my life that's never had a quality issue down the line after years of wear and why I invest in them now.
* Please note: I only wash clothes on cold and to really make things last, hang/air dry. Zara's stuff is prone to being damaged in the wash so to ensure longevity for them and any garments in general, follow this tip for washing/drying
