You can believe wackadoodle internet theories sans evidence all you like. The end game is 0.0 people will say Levis are a BIFL jean brand these days save a select few of their couture jeans online or bespoke jeans in a Levis store.

You want BIFL denim? Naked & Famous Elephant 11 - Grandrelle is what you want. Again....use the search engine.

You want BIFL pants? Filson Tin Cloth Pants. Again....use the search engine.

And again...we have no budget, I mention this a second time as $200 pants are a thing.

You do realize that you are buying Levis is like buying a Pepsi in that no matter where you buy it you are getting the same product right? Store where you purchase the item does not magically change the quality.

Step zero is deciding on what you want. There are hundreds of jeans vs pants options. Pick one. Then use the search engine as we've given hundreds of recommendations on both in the last year.

Next is knowing you will have to get off the wallet. Heavyweight denim is gonna run you north of $100 a pair and likely closer to $200. For some this is fine, for some not. Same with some pants...Bill's Khakis are BIFL but MSRP is close to $200.

And are these work pants or casual?

Near zero brands are BIFL, so asking this question will lead you astray. Using shoes as example, imagine I make this post:

ZOMFGlolWFTBBQ, Clarks are the bestest shoes evAr!!!!!

Now you read this and go out and buy you some Clarks Gaskill Lace shoes based on the advice of an internet stranger. And they explode from normal wear in 6 months. You get supermad and DM me with a picture of a middle finger.

The reason for this is Clarks does make some BIFL shoes. They also make some shitbox shoes. Bushacre II shoes by them are basically shoes made from Nokia 3310s.

The other missing items are sex, budget and use case. Should I waste both our times discussing wool suiting featuring Norfolk jackets and shooting breeks when you are a female who works in a book store with a low budget?

If you are interested in this topic, step zero should be to visit the search engine and put in clothing choices such as jeans or skirts or jackets and see what pops up and if they can be found in your area or online. Clothes is too broad without sex, budget, use and specifics as to what article.

I don't disagree but again, this ain't a repairabiliy sub nor is there one. And we can't account for the end user's skill as repairs are variable....I can do the brakes in my car but have zero chance of repairing my turbo charger while Internet User Joe thinks rebuilding a turbo is child's play. You can't put a metric of repair on any item. Proper can disagree, but this is where I plant my flag.

And you can. But this is not nor is there a subreddit for getting the answer you want. I respect your question, respect the answer.

This is not nor is there an easy to repair subreddit. Do you want to know which brands shouldlast a long ass time?

All Speed Queens.

Maytag 575.

Full stop.

You need to be specific to get specific help here.

Where do you live.

Budget.

Washing machines come in like 3 form factors. Which one.

Vacuum cleaners are purchased based on floor type.

ACs are purchased based on square footage which we don't know and they are based on BTU not HP.

You can place your faith in two things: Treadwear and warranty. You find the Treadwear literally on the tire or the maker's website. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/UTQG_ratings_on_Japanese_Tire.jpg

The Treadwear will be on the tire as its like a federal law and stuff.

Having said that....you are compromising the safety of your car by sorting by highest Treadwear/longest warranty.

And the other idea to consider is you don't need to go full retard just because you had a bad experience with Kmart tires. You can/should find tires suited for your climate and vehicle and I'd recommend you visit tirerack.com and see what's best for your car before buying some shopping cart wheel tires onto your car an increasing your stopping distances by 300%.

We have no idea. First off, you ask...then buy...you are doing things assbackwards. Second, you can't ask the internet this type of question and get an answer worth a damn as some people are light on stuff and some people stomp on everything they own and treat it like shit.

Sally....may use her 18 bag as a glorified lunch bag and it lives in her passenger seat or next to her chair in a climate controlled office. She sews cute patches on it, launders it once a month in woolite and air drys. She will arrive shortly and post a lovely haiku singing the praises.

Carl...internet naysayer, uses his 18 bag in his job as the guy who cruises every neighborhood in his 84 Chevy with catty-wampus bed looking for scrap metal to stuff it with. And its stored amongst beer cans and rust water in the bed. He cleans it by beating it on the fender and watching the rust cloud add to his mesothelioma index. He will arrive shortly and tell you its a piece of shit and then say something bad about your mother.

Read the above. Then read it again and see the wisdom. Treat your stuff nice. Ask, then purchase. A $1 IKEA bag will outlast the universe, so when yours do die, put them in an IKEA bag.

These are kinda BIFL naturally methinks. Just naturally damn hardy.

Go to what's known as the interwebs. Type the following in the googles: Margom tennis shoes

These are the biggies in the world of recraftable tennis shoes. Most cobblers can resole these like fine goodyear welt dress shoes. Is there a canvas version, version you like or version you can afford? Hell if I know. Play with the keywords and visit some website and see what trips your trigger.

You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that.

https://zerohalliburton.com/collections/carry-on-luggage is what you want for BIFL carry on luggage.

https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/kfbe17/gyw_for_women_brands_and_notes/ may help as heels means many things to many people. But know you can't shop brands....a brand can have 2 pair of heels that can be recrafted by a cobbler and may have 2 pair of heels that are disposible. If you are paying say $800/pair, you should know via the reading and/or through customer service validation that they can be recrafted. This logic applies for all shoes/brands as very few brands are 100% recraftable via a cobbler.

I'm not here to help your feelings, I'm here to help what you want. To supplement, here is how to make any shopvac brand last 200 years, even if it is a shitbox shopvac:

1. Designate it wet or dry. Heck get two and Sharpie them as such. Reason #1 these go to hell is people swap them from wet to dry willy nilly. This creates SuperAIDS in the guts and 500 mechanical issues. Don't swap back and forth.
2. They all have optional bags, just like your home vacuum. Research these first...buy a bunch of bags....before you buy the unit so you can jump in on day one by using a bag. Train everyone on this as many are ignorant of shopvac bags. This keeps the dirt in bag vice in the hopper, so when you pop the top, everything inside is lickably clean.

Using the above will triple the lifespan of even a shitbox shopvac.

Then you want a vacuum that you can turn off the beater brush as needed as smooth floors want suction alone. This is the metric of purchase. BIFL brands include Miele, Riccar and Simplicity as the biggies. The Miele S7/U1 is an upright with a handle switch to turn off the beater....we've had two for over a decade. They can be had for a song via eBay or at your local vacuum cleaner store as a used model for savings.

You are here shopping your conclusion and you should be asking for advice. And you are shopping about three items at once. I'm hoping you go to Vacuum Wars on youtube, then coming back in a few days with focused questions if you need more help. Budget. Floor types. We need both of those. Do you know that the use case for a "slim vac" vs a full frame vacuum....do you have a full frame?

We have no idea. We don't have a budget. You choose vacuums based on floor type and we don't know what floor type(s) you have.

Then you should take to Google. Chelseas are super popular and come in a wide variety of heights and styles so I cannot be super specific but offer this advice to cover your searches:

1. Goodyear welt is what to look for. Don't see the words? Pass. Know that some brands can/do offer 2 Chelseas that are goodyear and 2 that are not, so don't close your browser after looking at one pair and getting discouraged.
2. Look to gortex, fleece, flannelor fur for warmth as its easy to skip over when you are excited.
3. Thursday, Frye and Carmina are some other brands to look at and maybe trickers.com if you wanna flex your budget.

What is your budget?

We don't know what warm is and asking that online if folly, especially if you don't state a relative location as up north means Nebraska to some and Iceland to others.

We need a relative style as they come in Chelsea, heeled, chukka and other styles.

And don't look at brands as many brands sell both BIFL and disposable footwear.

All deodorants are aluminum free. What you are thinking of is aluminum compounds in antiperspirants, so OP should switch to any deodorant vice antiperspirant.

You are obfuscating a few idiots for a ton of controversy, let's not do that.

1. They raised their prices and told everyone beforehand and why. Internet asshats, who couldn't run a lemonade stand, then got mad and decided they were overpriced.
2. They changed how they process their leather and told everyone beforehand and why. Internet asshats, who know zero about leather, then got mad and decided that aesthetic changes impact lifespan.

These are the issues you speak of. Want Saddleback look for Kmart pricing? EBay or google can find you many sources, usually from India, that have direct copies or companies that use the same aesthetic. Are they BIFL? One never knows. But Saddleback is BIFL. Your call.

Your question lacks specificity so you are going to get a circle jerk of answers that will lead you down a dark alley and shoot your parents turning you into Batman.

Plainly state your form factor. Combo means different things to different people.

Stackable is form factor that many apartments or small areas use where the washer is on the bottom and the dryer is on the top. These are usually matched units by one maker.

Combination AKA all in one is a form factor that many apartments or small areas use where there is one unit that you program to wash....then dry....all within one form factor.

Which of these are you talking about? If you are talking about one unit AKA combination then there have never been any BIFL ones spoken of here before. And, while these are a thing, these are tiny, tiny, tiny units and you will be doing laundry 2-3 times a week vice once a week.

This is not Antiques Roadshow. Your price as nothing to do with lifespan.

Your question lacks depth. Maybe you print photos. Maybe you print spreadsheets. Maybe you print colors. That determines the printer. And in terms of BIFL, nothing beats an laser. You can whine about the cost to the wind as you either own a BIFL printer or you don't. My laser's toner is likely expensive dunno...its been spitting out pages at the rate of artillery shell use at the Battle of Argonne Forest and there is no end in sight. And it doesn't dry out. And it doesn't mock me when cyan is low as its a black and white printer. I keep my color one over at Walgreens and let them handle my color and photo needs. If you want BIFL, you will get a laser and suck it up. And you'll be using it for 20 years.
