Clothing!
Lots of clothes only last a couple of years then they break apart, holes appears, etc...
We have a local collective that fixes clothes and its helped keep them alive for 10+ years now. But jeens, shirts, ect that are newer seem to be worse somehow. They don't last nearly as long.
Agree. My jeans have been wearing out at the knees within a couple years and I'm middle-aged so I'm NEVER on my knees for more than a few seconds. Apparently they're averse to bending. ๐คจ
A big problem is that most denim people buy these days is "stretch" which massively reduces durability of the material. It has gotten way too hard to find classic denim in most stores.
