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.

My old Merino wool shirts both have a hole now. They were the cheapest Amazon ones I found and sold even cheaper because the label was wrong. I want to buy new ones, but I need suggestions before buying a shirt for 70€ on the internet. I want a loose fit and black colour. Any suggestions for high-quality shirts? I'm in Germany.

Varusteleka, and you can also get a wool hoodie, wool pants, wool socks, etc.

You can also get shipping by re-pack so the packaging is not wasted either, it goes back to posti for delivery back to businesses.

BIFL shipping packaging haha.

Varusteleka is amazing, I highly recommend them to anyone looking at outdoor gear and wool clothing

Am I on the right site? Military / outdoors stuff?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yep, that's the one. Since they supply military folk, their outdoor stuff is well-designed and durable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's right.

They supply their military as well as sell things for civilians.

I second Varusteleka. Great quality and most of their Särmä line is manufactured in Europe

Why is it whenever I find a new favorite anything, it's Finnish? Most of my favorite bands are Finnish, I'm playing Alan Wake II and it's great, I follow several Finnish comics artists. So much good stuff coming out of Finland.

Anyway, that site is awesome, I'm glad it was shared.
