I would love a fashion brand such as Patagonia is for the outdoor style... Very high quality, consistent, and they even still carry some of their styles from the 70's and 80's nearly unchanged. Something that hasn't been said is that this fast fashion is absolutely unsustainable from an environmental and energy perspective. Low quality clothing that is designed to literally not last more than a couple wears; versus a Patagonia jacket that not only is made well enough to last a decade, but also carries a lifetime warranty and a recycling guarantee... I'll take the latter, please.

There were a few such stores I'd shopped at, but between multiple take-overs and fashion changes, they ultimately stopped carrying old styles and cuts. There is L.L. Bean and Lands' End, both of which have been very consistent over time, though I've found quality and finish of their clothing to be somewhat variable in recent years as well. The fact that it's mail order/online also makes sizing an issue.
