Denim
If you're not changing tires in your raw denim, you're not doing it right.

Having trouble thrifting/not shopping at Uniqlo
If I had to take a stab at what I look at, and that's by no means an exhaustive list, here's some things:
Does the garment feel nice on me? I have an Icelandic sweater from 70s/80s that doesn't feel particularly nice on me anymore, but generally I don't want stuff to be itchy.
Is it part of a short-lived trend, or will it last me at least a while?
How do I care for it? I personally don't want my entire wardrobe to be handwash/dry clean only.
What's the material composition? Is it a blend? Does it have synthetics? (I generally have started shying away from these, but YMMV)
How thick is the material? Is it see through? (Important for eg. linen, or if I'm feeling like a himbo 😈)
What's the construction like? Are the seams nice and even? What's the stitching like?
I don't necessarily look at these things on most things I buy, but if I don't know the brand, I like it, and it's pricey, I might.

To add to the above, I want to add that quality can be such a subjective thing. What exactly do you look for? Long lasting garments? Expensive materials? Those are not necessarily the same.
You have to figure out what's important to you.

Anglan for some pretty big boxy ones, just make sure to get the ones made by anglan and not the other stuff they sell.
Song for the mute also occasionally makes a short sleeve shirt with differently coloured panels that you can pick up for cheap on sites like grailed.
