Go to the outlet stores. Usually a significant savings for the same quality. If you have one of those kind of rural clothing/outdoors outfitter stores near you, those are usually great too. When you get a feel for brands (how they handle sizing and materials), you can then just order online and return in store. Most durable clothing I’ve ordered has typically been Patagonia, Prana (not Prada) and Carhartt. J Crew is good quality too, that’s about the price point after which quality/value has diminishing returns.
