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.

I use glasses for reading and driving only, which means I have them with me all the time but usually am not wearing them.

I hate bringing cases around, so I've got into the habit of getting frames on the thicker side so they can last being shoved in my pocket, sat on, jangled around with my keys, etc.

I've found pairs that surprisingly survive this behavior 1–2 years, and am curious if any frames can go even longer, possibly indefinitely. Any recommendations?

That's what I do, and its inside doubles as a cleaning cloth

What type do you have? I have a good one atm, but I've really wished the inside would work like that!
