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.

My dad swears by Duluth stuff.
Buddy of mine swears by 5.11 pants
Idk if they ship to Canada or not.. good luck op!
I’ve got a couple pairs of 5.11 pants and am a big fan
I like 5.11 Taclite and ABR pants. The rear slash pockets are bigger and more comfortable. I do have a physical, outdoor job that they stand up to well, but I'm not terribly rough on them.
I did manage to pop the stitches in the crotch of one pair after several years, but did not rip the fabric itself. 10 minutes with a needle and thread, or a single pass through a sewing machine and they are good as new.
