as  ringgit millionaire i dont shop at H&M, factory reject, japanese budget shop.
i only shop shop every 2 or 3 years for past 15 years of my working life, with decent brand

i notice that nike, under armor sport wear, shirt pant shoes , t-shirt from polo raulp laure , tommy h, izod , nautical etc

the quality has drop a lot lol, the fabric doesnt feel the same , like recycle or plastics material blend, even the synthetic sport wear material felt like rubbish

only levis i feel the same quality , but then i couldnt be sure as i am not wearing jean since covid .
what is ur recommendation ? where to buy quality clothes and boxer, regardless of brand with decent price  ?

gotta maybe understand the materials used
Nylon, spandex, polyester, cotton (many many types), lycra, PP etc just to name a few
- hint: look for Rayon, or PP microfibres

find the type that you like, and for cotton, the country of origin that makes the best quality

if synthetics, find out which one lasts longest without fading or going out of shape, good wetting behavior (absorbs sweat/water, wicking, without sticking to the skin or showing up as a wet t-shirt contestant) and good laundry practices. The term "Dri-fit" has been abused, as many if not some synthetics do not wet, nor wick, not to mention dry...

Uniqlo has collaboration with Toray, and some premium materials from Europe, while some are cash cow products
