Any suggestions for clothes available in the UK or EU which are at least hard wearing? (lemmy.ml)

So I'm sick of supporting fast fashion and could really use some new clothes, especially jeans. I was inspired by the work wear post earlier however I think all the recommendations were US based which aren't that useful for me in the UK. Any suggestions for brands or shops where I can get something which will last? I don't mind paying significantly more for good quality if it's actually good and not just a brand logo.

EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions everyone I'll have a good look at these.

I own a lot of Strauss stuff and am extremely happy with it. Shoes, trousers, shirts. Workwear or casual clothes it's a bit less fashionable but A LOT longer lasting.

I do however think it's pretty boring, I love bandshirts and tees with printing on it commenting on coding or roleplay and of course they don't have that. But i have to say my Strauss polo-shirts are still like new while my bandshirts are losing their prints and starting to get tiny holes.

EDIT: oh shit! They offer prints and even embroidery now! Time to update my wardrobe!
