Buy it for Life

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.

Now that the weather is getting colder I am looking for some warm thermal socks and some kind of warm jumper/sweater. Any recommendations in the UK? preferably a physical shop I can go to to try these things on.

Darn Tough socks are made in the USA and guaranteed for life. I just checked online and they are sold in the UK. These are usually found in high end sports and outdoor stores. They typically run about $20 US per pair.

I just bought a bunch of these prior to a trip. I'm a fan. Super comfortable. I'll be buying more.
