LL Bean is pretty timeless and definitely makes for a more sophisticated casual without succumbing to fast fashion.

If I had the money, I’d redo my whole wardrobe with LL Bean, and Filson.

LL Bean and Filson aren't what they once were for the most part.

ASKET is a Swedish brand that is all about simple staples, sustainably made that are long lasting. I highly recommend them for basics.

Comparable in price to LL Bean or Filson for U.S. residents?

For me LL Bean can be pricy and any Filson purchase would have to be a major splurge, so there’s always a limit in terms of practicality.

On par with Filson.

If I had a more limited budget I'd probably have a lot more of Target's house brand Goodfellow in my wardrobe. The price/quality ratio is a ton better imo than a lot of your typical US brands.
