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.

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.
I second Varusteleka. Great quality and most of their Särmä line is manufactured in Europe
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?
Yep, that's the one. Since they supply military folk, their outdoor stuff is well-designed and durable.
That's right.
They supply their military as well as sell things for civilians.
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.
