    I really wanna get to the point where I don’t have to buy new clothes. How do you find stuff that lasts that long?

      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.

          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.
