> I want to buy something once and not have to think about it for a long time.
A thousand times this ^ And ideally for everything: phone, computer, headphones, clothes, etc.
Personally, I own one pair of pants that I know will last about 2 years before I need to replace them, then just buy exactly the same pair again. Same with t-shirts, except I own about 10 of the same and replace 2 or 3 once a year (each one will last 2-3 years).
Kind of trying something similar. My jeans seem to be tough enough, but I’ve had a hard time with t-shirts. I’m looking for plain t-shirts without logos. What brands do you buy?
For nice t-shirts without logo, check Muji (their bio cotton collection) or Uniqlo (their Supima cotton collection). Less than $15, great fit, good enough durability.
For t-shirts, Banana Republic (although they keep changing the styles and colors slightly over time, which could also be considered a good thing).
For jeans, Levi's.
Haven't really tried too many brands, but those two were good enough for me that I don't feel like I need to make the decision for those two items ever again.
