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?

Hollister is some rich kid shit but I got a hoodie for 25 bucks like 15 years ago and it's held up, and is very soft and comfortable. If you like plain unbranded stuff, H&M has Divided stuff with absolutely no logos and mine has held up acceptably. Lost a zipper tooth but that's about it after 7 or so years. Cheap too. Also if Costco exists where you live, Kirkland makes unbranded hoodies for cheap cheap. Have not had mine long but it's perfect for cool weather (too breathable for winter, imo).
