Reply to comment by keyboardstatic in Laundry Basket: Experience with Steele Canvas Caddie? by Buffalo_Cottage
Ooh, those sound incredibly durable and pretty similar to the Steele Canvas laundry bag. I tried to make something similar years (and yearssss) ago out of lightweight duck canvas, but I think I was using the wrong needle on my sewing machine and it was a total disaster.

Oh wow, that's awesome. Longevity is such a huge selling point for me nowadays. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the suggestions. Will take a look at the Jim Green Stockman and Mongrels as I've looked at the others.

Canada West seems to be a strong contender. Not sure about Doc Marten and Ugg.

These are fantastic. They last forever. I work in a prison and we have some that are older than me, still doing daily use and I’m almost 30. Plus they are just super convenient. We are going to get one soon with a divider

Oh, man. We had placemats with these vehicles when I was little. I just had great flashbacks to pressing my fork gently into the surface then watching the indentations disappear.

1620 Workwear shirts are great (the NYCO) but are weirdly sized, size down.
Bayside is another great option too

My sister uses Japanese mail sacks that she received from box's sent from her Mil from Japan the sacks are double canvas with a reinforced mouth with a rope. I don't know if you can still get them. I plan on making my own when our basket breaks. They just gets hung out with the wet laundry when they carry wet laundry out to the closeline. And they hang up easily where needed to collect dirty laundry.

What I love about photos like this is you know that someone - maybe ya grandma- complained about the quality going down in the 80s and that’s why she kept using her older one.

I guess the other candidates are Canada West, Doc Marten, and Ugg?

That brown was called coppertone. And the goldish yellow was called harvest gold.
I was there. Although thankfully I never had that vomitus-colored shag carpeting. To me they always looked like someone threw up their pizza.

The sizing may not be right for you but, these shirts last.

Bit over your budget but id strongly recommend the Canada West Romeo Insulated boots.
Those are actually resolable due to the GYW rather than the injection molded style of chelseas. Wide toe box. Made in canada.
For a cheaper option id recommend the Jim Green Stockman. Resolable. Not insulated but ive been perfectly fine wearing them in cold boston winters with a pair of darn tough socks.
My favorite injection molded chelsea are Mongrels. I have blundstones and redbacks, but the mongrels imo are far superior. Nice wide toebox, durable, grippy sole, affordable, and made in australia.
Keep in mind that none of these will replace laced winter boot. I use mine for short walks to work, around town, etc... nothing extreme.
