Right well this is BIFL? Get a $20 coat from old navy, get $20 worth of quality.

We buy all our kids winter stuff second hand. It’s amazing the kinds of things you can get so cheap. My kid has nicer winter boots than I do, and they cost 10$

I've gotten hand-me-down coats for my son where I didn't even vaguely recognize the original kid's name!

Good luck. I slept on them in college and no matter the brand, luxury or budget, they wouldn’t last very long. They just aren’t designed to be an every day thing

We have a Target jacket that has this too

That's probably vintage now, find a collector....lol

Ooooo those boots tho 👀I hadn’t thought of looking directly at boot makers!

Kind of a skewed sample as the brands you listed are known for particular quality

I actually get 99% of my clothes from C&A nowadays, but every jeans i bought there falls apart after max 2 years. I heard from Uniqlo quite often in the last years. I always imagened that because its a brand from japan, that there clothes are not made for a "fuller" guy like me.

That poor 4th kid can go kick rocks.

Vivo barefoot

thank you for your adivice. I will make a request there and edit my post. Iam looking for everyday clothes for, I dont know, walking to work and sitting in the office or at a cafe and meet with friends. A 1000 schmeckels for a pair of sneakers would be totaly fine, if i can wear them my whole life, even when working for minimum wage. Thats why i wanted to make my first post here.

I want to say Helly Hanson does this as well (not as cute, it says 1st kid, 2nd kid, 3rd kid). We donated one of their winter coats after it went through 4 seasons with my 2 kids and I saw the 3rd kid wearing it in town. Looks like it will easily go on to a 4th and 5th kid, too.

I love that.

Uniqlo, Massimo Dutti, some parts of C&A

> LLBean H6 Subaru

Subaru's in general, but there's something about that damn model that just can't die.

Keep an eye on Craigslist too. Managed to find one for $100. I think they sell refurbished models online too.

This is like Kurapika bringing a shovel to a death match. Big BIFL confidence.

Also that whole fun civil forfeiture thing they’ve got going on

a lot of brands of children's jackets and outerwear do this.

Cookware! The aluminum and stainless steel cookware used in restaurants and commercial kitchens are tough stuff! I've worked in kitchens for years and that stuff takes a beating and is still good. Same thing with Bakeware and cooking utensils. If you can find a restaurant supply store open to the public I highly reccomend you check it out! It's a lot of good stuff in there!

SO cool!

I give all my boys LL and Patagonia winter stuff to my nephew and my sister jokes: “He looks so good and my daughter looks like a walking advertisement.”

It’s nicer to hand down clothing and baby gear. Just gave my friend a ton of baby carrier stuff to keep in his car has backup.

Has anyone had LL Bean repair stuff older than 15 years old? I had a backpack that I got brand new, and about 5 years ago one of the straps broke, and the material inside started flaking.

I contacted them, asking if they could fix either, and they told me I would have to mail them my backpack and it would take them like 6 weeks to determine if it could be fixed.
