For something like a hoodie, I recommend you go to a thrift store. Anything you find there will be durable and quality enough to survive, and you can feel it or try it on. It's very easy to find high quality stuff while thrifting. 8 dollars for what might cost 80 new.
Try to focus on non-synthetic fibers or semi synthetic. Plastics in clothing are bad for the environment.
Plastic in clothes is bad for you, not just the environment
Microplastics apparently do infiltrate through the skin
We have.. done bad things with our world.
I snagged the world's comfiest leather jacket for $8 at a local thrift shop. All it needed was some stitching in a couple pockets, but it's bloody perfect otherwise. Eight friggen bucks.
