Mozilla and some websites won't open with it. Or, maybe I'm just lame.

I'll spend a decent amount on a sweater if it is made well, sustainably produced, and will last a long time.

Undies, not so much.

Patagonia is another good option.

I will pay a bit of a premium for some things if they're "good" products, but not a huge one. And it is tragic that these companies can't / won't lower their prices - they'd have probably a much larger buying base if they did.

Stella McCartney's line - RIDICULOUS, even her 'ready to wear' stuff. She's vegan, has some cool vegan shoes, bags, etc. - but they are stratospherically priced.
