Metalhead here. An old rocker was telling me I need a denim vest for gigs and sewn patches. Ideally sleeveless. Any ideas?
Check Varusteleka.com. They have amazing demin jacket. Its expensive with sleeves but its super quality.

Quality Boxershorts for EU

Where to buy moderately priced, high quality clothing in Europe
Varusteleka, in Finland, has some very interesting goos woollen clothes from time to time, though much of their stock is military surplus, or military looking. But they do high quality stuff that they commission themselves, and definitely worth a browse. They post all over the EU, and beyond. Decathlon also gives good value, especially in Europe, with a very wide variety of well priced, decent quality stuff; cotton shirts, wool blend socks, sportswear and sports gear. Go to your local Decathlon. The UK shops are definitely less well stocked than, say, the Spanish ones, in my limited experience.

A list of BIFL not made in the USA

A list of BIFL not made in the USA
I'd add [Varusteleka](https://www.varusteleka.com/) to the outdoors gear category, their Särmä line is pretty skookum. Fiskars (at least their knives and scissors) and Iittala are pretty good too. And you can't go wrong with Mora Knifes.

These Smartwool socks lasted me less than a month…
I'm a fan of Varusteleka. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/varusteleka-hiking-socks-merino-wool/56433 These. They're warm and comfortable, do a good job with moisture wicking and in winter they get supremely warm with house shoes. If you want any sock to last, particularly the expensive wool kind, wear house shoes.
