Engelbert Strauss / Germany

Possibly has a similar mindset to Musk. See report (german)

UF-Pro (Slovenia). Not marketed as working but tactical/military clothes, but their clothes and especially pants are the most robust and comfy ones I've ever had and they're available in more civilian looks and colors too. On the pricier side but quality is top notch, will last you a while.

Having tactical gear in mind I feel UF-Pro is hyped and overpriced. I like Helikon-Tex (Poland), Clawgear (Austria) and Arktis (UK) a lot. Especially the later two have similar pants in good quality.

Not exactly my favourite style, but thanks for the tip. 😅

Really good but the owner tried/tries to stop wind turbines being build in their city

My heart broke as I own everything from socks and boxers to trousers and tees 😭

It's very durable but also tends to contain synthetic fibers

Boaa.. they [those people] are everywhere...

Did you find any viable alternatives, yet?

Maybe Leibwächter (first result of a quick search)?

Engelbert Strauss, the Gucci of working cloths :p (I say that while owing jackets a pair of pants and a t-shirt by them gifted to me as a teen by my carpender dad)

Try Cerva, I think it is Czech or Slovak.

I don't know anything about the owners of Engelbert Strauss, but the article only says that they don't like wind turbines (at least at one place). Do they also support the AFD, hate LGBTQ, and dismantle government organisations? If not, they are certainly a lot better than Musk, not similar.
