What products used to be well built back in the day but now are low quality?
Lamy 2000 fountain pen. Once an icon of German design, modern has a Shitty plastic interior piston designed to fail. So bad they don’t honor their lifetime warranty anymore. If you’re a pen person and considering one, go vintage only.

I love my Lamy 2000. Such a marvel of engineering. And fantastically smooth writer. I restore and collect vintage fountain pens and the Lamy is the only new pen I’ve ever bought.

1 Manduka Pro yoga mat. At 6’3”, I wish I’d gone for the tall version, but the thing really IS built for life so I’m stuck with the standard size 😆 2 Nomos Tangente Watch (hand winding version). Aside from servicing, this is a (dressier) watch for life. 3 Lamy 2000 fountain pen. Classy yet durable! 4 Grohmann slimline folder pocket knife. 5 Feather safety razor. Honourable mentions: My seemingly indestructible meditation cushion set (brand unknown), and titanium gongfu/gaiwan tea set.

Where Does "Buy It for Life" Not Make Sense?
Strong disagree on pens! I got a Lamy 2000 and everything from the ergonomics to the way the material warms up to skin temperature makes it worth the money. Of course, that is the one you should not lend out to others. Not only is it too expensive to lose, people who have not used fountain pens will damage the nib.
