if you specifically need a hoodie, they make the best. Not cheap but you’re paying for quality, not a logo.
I think LL Bean makes good stuff. Not stylish, I guess, but good basics
Finally, Patagonia clothing is made in decent factories and you can send it back to them when you’re done with it - they’ll fix it up and resell it online

I have this same ethical conundrum with select American Apparel items (I have a fisherman sweater by them that I live in). Try scouring thrift stores, vintage stores, and eBay for the LL Bean items you like and the money won’t go to the company! Also, if it’s vintage, there’s a chance it might be better made than something made recently, since material quality has gone way way down (thanks late stage capitalism).

tbh when i do buy anything it’s an agonising process of hunting down either a very specific item or an item that fits a very specific way that i’m after. i move a lot so owning things is a big deal to me, i don’t buy anything i dont see myself keeping for a while and sell things i don’t use regularly. i also make some of my clothes so there’s that
but i’d say aside from specific vintage stuff some of my fav new brands to shop are our legacy, gildan, everybody.world, fadepants before i worked there, morjas, uniqlo u the 2 times it drops a year, and supreme
brands i like their clothes and might buy more in another financial situation but don’t shop much/at all are lemaire, connor mcknight (esp the outerwear), stussy (some of the best and most attainable styling for sure), studio nicholson, lyle mcgraw, orée nyc, horatio london, and nike/jordan

They have some of the best quality clothing, I’ve had pieces for years and they are just as nice as when I first purchased. pricey but 100% worth it
