Yep, a great mindset to have. I used to try to thrift a lot of things to "save money", but would always run into the same problems you've described.
Clothes I almost always purchase high quality now, and I very rarely buy clothes. A good quality set of t-shirts lasts me years longer than cheaping out on stuff that'll shrink and deteriorate after a couple washes.

Same. The only thing that we thrift for now is home decor for my wife. Little vases, artwork, set pieces. Stuff that just sits and doesn’t get interacted with so it can’t break down.

which good brands of clothes do you recommend? I seldom buy clothes (except shoes, which I go through quite fast because of the hundreds of kilometers I walk and hike)

Dont really have specific brands i gravitate, just buy stuff that stands out to me. Fjall Raven though is great if you like walking/hiking. Good for general streetwear too
