Most modern clothes take all the possible shortcuts from material to assembly they possibly can to deliver a $30 sweater that holds up until you pay at the checkout. If you want a long lasting one, they’re available from specialty manufacturers but the price will be over $200

Manufacturers that cater to EMS and Military produce some very durable clothes. Propper's emt pants are currently my go-to.

Work clothes in general tend to be higher quality and last much longer than fast fashion. A pair of chinos or cotton twill pants from a respected workwear manufacturer is what I would recommend for daily wear.

Or you buy a nice vintage item, used. They are better made and more affordable.
