To any of you living in Europe - could I get some suggestions on good quality men's clothes shops? I know thrifting is usually a good option but the thrift shops around me aren't great unfortunately

Mens thrift shops are always a gamble. Do you know the website vinted.com? It's an enormous second hand store. You buy directly from the previous owner. The company is from Lithuania if that matters to you.

As for clothing stores, we need more information. What kind of clothing do you look for and maybe also where exactly do you live. I wear mostly local German brands so that might be no option.

Yeah I've heard of vinted, should probably check it out. I live in Ireland ATM, tend to like more casual and baggy clothes, cargos etc.

I get some of my stuff from freshcuts.ie

You mean this? freshcuts.ie doesn't seem to exist

Vinted is basically where we get most of our clothes. Usually cheaper than first hand, but that means if there's something really specific you want/need new then you've a bit extra cash to afford it.

If you are in Belgium: Jules makes some damn good sweaters and pants, even for my brother in law who is very tall and thin and finds it very difficult to find clothes that fit well.

Thrift shops have always been bad for me. When I had an athletic build to now when I am a bit athletic but also fatter, thrift shops in Belgium exclusively have 170cm, 50kg men clothes and 190cm, 150kg clothes with rarely an in between.

Very sustainable, that stuff takes a beating and lasts. At least those made in EU (almost everything; they declare manufacturers - they used to sell some junk from Asia, made a mistake of buying it once, never again, and they discontinued most later.)
