  What product category has gotten worse in quality, even at the premium level?

  Then start learning about it. It’s a massive world and no one can just list off the best five retailers because there aren’t any. You just have to start dipping your toes into the broader fashion world. Pop into r/HeritageWear and r/JapaneseStreetwear for a start. Dive down the YouTube rabbit hole. Japanese fashion in general is very focused on quality (their denim scene is insanely good), but there are good manufacturers in China like Bronson MFG, in Canada like Naked and Famous, in the USA like Brave Star, England like Maharishi and Story MFG, in India like Garuda, and international brands like Polo RL and Levi’s still make plenty of great clothes if you know what to look for. These are just a few off the top of my head but it’s a wide world when you start looking past what’s available at your local mall.

  Looking for some men’s polo style shirt recommendations… preferably something relatively breathable

  Polo Ralph Lauren - Believe it or not. The soft ones with the color horsie are my faves for the office but for hot days the mesh ones are tougher - They invented it, and mastered it. The fit is perfect and they last!

  A note about clothing quality

  Purple and black labels are their higher tiers and drastically more expensive, but they’re not the same as the Blue labels which are the traditional ones I’m referring to. Blue labels Polo Ralph Lauren is the staple and classic one I’m referring to. Purple and Black are different brands from Ralph Lauren.

  I have been wearing these shorts for 35 years on and off, and I am still in love.

  Polo Ralph Lauren literally never changed, they still use 100% cotton in non-stretch cotton garments. That or linen blends.
