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  ?

As a ringgit thousandair (I don't have 1 million ringgit), I notworthy.gif the way you buy your clothes.

I do the same: wait for sales or go to outlets to buy last season's clothes, and buy enough to last a year.

Rinse and repeat.

You are a clever rich man notworthy.gif

I have been buying Luca Faloni and Loro Piana. Their clothes are very very good quality. Am looking at Falconeri next as they seem to be on par with Luca Faloni but less expensive.

I never got into the Burberry phase…. Was well and truly put off (and the same goes with LV) by Mainlanders decked out in Burberry or LV from cap down to shoes, walking around like chequered clowns.

I agree with you.

Name is American brand, but mostly made in Vietnam or Bangladesh... lousy fabric...sizes not standard... some cutting bigger, some smaller, etc.

I trust Japanese brands. Just check their labels if made in China or not.. haha..

Uniqlo in Japan is cheaper. Walking all 12 storeys in Ginza, worth it all. Soft comfy material.

To maintain the quality of clothes, need to read their labels,  how to wash them.

Don't expose too much sunshine, hanging outdoors from morning till evening... don't fully dry in dryers..

I do it half, half... After wash, dry under hot sun a while then put in dryer for 30 minutes or less.

Another wise answer. We buy like a year’s worth of Uniqlo from Japan because the savings are really substantial.
