I lost my fully stainless steel one. The replacement I bought is half stainless and half black plastic. Don’t like it nearly as much.

This comment is the truth. I have been focusing on buying from brands that feel higher quality and have some sort of ethical compass, but being able to repair a hole will make clothes last a lot longer regardless of the quality.

Furthermore, properly washing and drying them also goes a long way. Actually reading the tags and washing them in cold and only drying things you know aren’t going to shrink will make things last much longer.
