So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

I have a Tiiley Airflo hat that’s been around the world with me. Have had it nearly 20 years and it’s good as new.

    Like most things they aren't what they used to be. Find one with the old label inside, that will help. Supposedly also if it's made from the Canada line, not from China.

    I've had mine going on ten years and it's well seasoned with the groans of wife and children. Best hat I've ever owned.
