Why it's buy-it-for-life
Redditors say the garments hold up well enough to buy secondhand at thrift stores for years of wear, though one cautions that a past production era leaned more synthetic and to check fabric tags before buying.

Eileen Fisher takes back damaged clothing to clean, repair, and sell "renewed" under their Green Eileen label.

Eileen Fisher second hand is always a lovely find- just make sure you're checking the tags. There must have been an era of their production that wasn't great and they used more synthetics.

I buy used Eileen Fisher pieces either from their Re-store or EBay.

Everlane, Eileen Fischer, a lot of Madewell, Sezáne, and Kotn are all great.
Eileen Fisher! Not cheap but you can sometimes find her stuff at thrift stores
I have tested their tops against other fast fashion... they simply hold up better
Eileen Fisher. You can buy second hand at their Renew stores.
Eileen Fisher, Nettle Studios (linen, plus sizes), Ozma of California... Someone else recommended Big Bud Press and Lucy and Yak and I second, but I'd do Nettle Studios 1st
I like Eileen Fisher, but it's woven cotton, not knit.
I seconded the rec for Eileen. MM Lafleur lasts forever and Most everything is washable.
