What is the best? What do people here buy? Do you stay away from all synthetics?

Cotton is a great all around material, but has such heavy water usage, and a lot isn’t made well. Linen/hemp seems better for that, and is durable, but it’s such a specific look and with too much casual linen/hemp you look like a 00s stoner. Synthetics are literally plastic and every wash puts more micro plastics into the water. Is wool good? It works well for a lot of stuff, but is expensive and is an animal product. Vintage wool stuff can be pretty great. Lots of good deals on vintage wool coats which have held up great including brands you’ve never heard of and are long defunct.

What else is there?

Edit: also open to just durability recommendations. What lasts you the longest?
