  Of course no shoes are going to last a lifetime but I’m trying to build a pretty good collection (are made in Japan converse worth it?)

  The Birkenstocks, I believe, are your only BIFL item here (I hear they are resoleable thus you’ll get good mileage from them). For sneakers, you’re pretty much screwed. I’ve done a bit of research on this front and there are only a few companies that make repairable sneakers, all of which charge way too much to make it worthwhile (unless you’re rich, which if you are: can I have some money?). For the boots, however, Blundstones are arguably your worst offenders here becuase you have options. I love the look of Blundstones and from what I hear they’re also really comfortable and durable—my wife has a pair that she has beaten to hell and they are still going strong 7 years in. In spite of their really good build, they are still not resoleable and thus are doomed to the landfill. Even the Blundstone website says that because of the way the sole is made to be comfortable and durable, the process makes them nearly impossible to replace. It’s basically the same story as with sneakers, except for the fact that you do have plenty of alternatives for boots that can last you a lifetime. Goodyear welted boots are easily resoled by any cobbler worth their salt, and there is no shortage of options. I myself have 4 pairs of boots*, all of which are Goodyear welted and have taken their respective beatings in stride. For something in a similar look and price range to Blundstone, I suggest looking at the boots sold on Huckberry (I own a pair of Rhodes Boone Lug chelseas that I love), or Thursday Boots (they have two chelseas that would stand in for the Blundstones really nicely: the Legend and the General Purpose, with the latter being really close to a Blundstone clone). Obviously you already own a pair of Blunnies, OP, so I say use them to their fullest and take good care of them, and they’ll still last you a good long while—not BIFL but pretty close. When the time comes, I recommend you look into GYW boots for their replacement. *For anyone curious, my goodyear welt collection includes the aforementioned Rhodes Boone Lug Chelseas from Huckberry. These are new and I am still breaking them in, but even with the necessary discomfort that comes during the breaking in period of new boots, they’re pretty great so far. I also have a pair of Thursday wingtip boots for a dressier option, which I’ve had for about 8 years, a pair of Red Wing Chukkas that I’ve had for 7 years, and a pair of Chippewa Boots from 2015 that are only now due for a resoling. Chippewa is the only brand I wouldn’t recommend because it appears they’ve gone in a different direction with their products in the last 10 years and the stuff I see on their site does not resemble my boots in quality or style.

  Need new wardrobe. Do I go LL Bean, Filson, Patagonia, Huckleberry? Main goal is to last a long time.

  I like Huckberry - which sells a bunch of different brands. But I wouldn't have all my clothes be one brand. That's very weird.

  Clothing and footwear brands that hold up over time

  Boots: red wing, bobbies, Thursday. Anything resolable will last forever. Clothes: J Crew especially on sale,Patagonia, madewell, Huckberry has some good men’s stuff too although can be a little pricy. I would generally stick to natural fibers with the exception of technical pieces like a ski jacket or workout shirt Care: the most important piece to lasting as long as possible. Re-oil your boots as needed as they’ll be susceptible to faster wear if they dry out. For clothes, learn when and how to wash different garments. Clean freakz on tik tok is a great source for all things laundry but in short, don’t actually wash your clothes until they need it due to smell or stains. Natural fibers especially tend to be more odor resistant than things like polyester. If you’re just doing a standard wash for stinky clothes, cold wash is probably all you need save those hot washes for when you really need to get stuff out. Also get a front load washer if you can it’s much easier on your clothes then a top loader. Finally lower heat on your dryer if you can adjust that it’s easier on your clothes. Heat and friction are what really kill the longevity of your clothes

  Thoughts on the Taylor Stitch brand?

  Head over to Huckberry. They carry quality clothing but if you aren’t happy with it for any reason it’s quick and easy returns.

  Best Men's Clothing Brands

  Uniqlo, Jcrew, Huckberry(although its really a curated shop for other brands) also had some luck with these but you have to really look at the stuff for build quality and polyester count: Jcrew factory, BR Factory, Gap, Gap factory

  Men's Everyday Pants under $100?

  I'm currently working on finding the right size of Topo design dirt 5pocket pants through the mail. The material seems nice which is why I'm going through the trouble. I plan in trying the huckberry 365 pants next which offers more sizes and colors... since I can't find the straight BR rapid movement any more.

  "Fuzzy" flint and tinder waxed trucker?

  Mine looks a lot like that too. I also rewaxed mine last year and I attributed it to the canvas deteriorating a little because I used a lot of elbow grease and I don’t think the wax nor the jacket were warm enough when I did it before setting it with a heat gun. Huckberry might know what to do. I’m just considering it part of the patina on mine and living with it. It’s still a very nice jacket and has a lot of miles on it.
