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:
Mens thrift shops are always a gamble. Do you know the website vinted.com? It's an enormous second hand store. You buy directly from the previous owner. The company is from Lithuania if that matters to you.
As for clothing stores, we need more information. What kind of clothing do you look for and maybe also where exactly do you live. I wear mostly local German brands so that might be no option.
Yeah I've heard of vinted, should probably check it out. I live in Ireland ATM, tend to like more casual and baggy clothes, cargos etc.
Vinted is basically where we get most of our clothes. Usually cheaper than first hand, but that means if there's something really specific you want/need new then you've a bit extra cash to afford it.
I get some of my stuff from freshcuts.ie
Nudie Jeans is Swedish and makes good quality jeans with free repairs.
Just got got my first pair recently and they’re a better jean than the Levi’s I was wearing.
!buyeuropean@feddit.uk used to have a few threads that could help you
Ah nice, thanks
Vinted is great
Yeah I should check it out thanks
If you are in Belgium: Jules makes some damn good sweaters and pants, even for my brother in law who is very tall and thin and finds it very difficult to find clothes that fit well.
Thrift shops have always been bad for me. When I had an athletic build to now when I am a bit athletic but also fatter, thrift shops in Belgium exclusively have 170cm, 50kg men clothes and 190cm, 150kg clothes with rarely an in between.
Unfortunately not but thank you. Yeah I hear you about the thrifting
Varusteleka.com
Thanks I'll check it out
I mean,I suppose military surplus counts 😅
Very sustainable, that stuff takes a beating and lasts. At least those made in EU (almost everything; they declare manufacturers - they used to sell some junk from Asia, made a mistake of buying it once, never again, and they discontinued most later.)
