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 reccomend etsy. You have to watch out for drop shippers, but by being concious you can normally find high quality hand made clothing.
Signs it's a real person making what youre buying:
Also: once you've found a clothing maker you like, you can often buy directly from them, bypassing etsy taking a cut of the profits.
Heres one I found: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1069069106/dark-red-anorakvintage-trench
In general tho, there are some really unique and cool clothing makers on etsy and I've gotten some of my favorite things from creators who sell using that platform.
Good luck finding the jacket of your dreams :)

Oooooh, that Etsy link does actually look perfect. Thank you! I'll keep digging.
