Given the state of the textile industry... make them yourself 🤷‍♂️

But you can get relatively far by repairing and patching stuff. Especially patches can make for nice upcycling of older or second hand clothes very much in the punk tradition.

There are also a few things you can buy from the outdoor industry that will last a while longer, but with a high upfront cost.

I do have a few things that are from outdoor brands so possiblity it impacts how long they last.

Isn't the fabric that you buy also apart of the textile industry?

Well, yes, but there at least you can still find some better quality I think.

Edit: You can also go buy quite high quality stuff in those "work cloth" / "worker safety" shops, but they do look the part, so I don't think many people would want to walk around those normally. Not cheap either.
