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.

I am thinking of eventually getting the following set and am interested in your thoughts on it
main boots: I'm undecided here whether to get the Black Greasy 10 Eye Steel Toe Capped Derby Boot or Black Greasy 11 Eye Steel Toe Derby Boot
Why does the 11 eye cost less than the 10 eye variant?
for walking a lot in the city: Black Greasy Urban Hiker
for the office I work at & general business casual settings: Black Greasy Sneaker 070
the black greasy is great, my 3 holes are that and I really dig it. The glossy is fun but the greasy is classy
my thoughts exactly! also from my understanding the greasy leather is of higher quality than the glossy ones?
Still not sure about the 10 vs 11 eyes tho
