Uniqlo for example is a solid choice and if you want really long lasting things, buy in Japan directly. It’s the only society on the planet that has resisted the insanity of continuously sacrificing quality.

  If you buy socks, buy Stance brand. Super solid. I do not have any other advice unfortunately.
