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

Pants will wear out. I wear Carhardt washed twill pants every day. They hold up really well for heavy jobs, but won't last forever. I have several pairs that are ratty and reserved for extra dirty work. At most, they last me 2 years before they look like hobo pants.
I don't like the cut of dickies, and they aren't as tough as the carhardt washed twills.
The washed twills are $35-50 US. Beyond these pants, everything else is a trade-off. Better pants, kuhl, 5.11, Deluth, heavy duty Carhardt Duck; all more expensive, some to a laughable extent.
Come join the Carhardt gang.
