A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Ive usually bought champion ($35 ususally) and theyre decent, but theres gotta be other stuff out there. Im looking at as colour right now, because i got a hoodie at a festival from them and its super nice, but theyre $50 each unless you buy in bulk

what brands are out there that wont be a scratchy mess on the inside in one year?

Although it's kind of tactical wank, I've had a triple aught design fleece hoodie for 12 years and its held up really well to all sorts of camping, hunting, hiking etc. Great for cold weather

For a good hoodie 50$ is totally reasonable

American Giant. Expensive, but they have a great warranty and the craftsmanship is top notch.

I have had my World of Warcraft hoodie from Jynx for 14 +/- 2 years and have only started looking to replace it recently. Sadly Jynx’s stuff is no where near the quality it once was. But if you can find an old used one in good shape it will last.
