The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

Making this post so users can share information on cruelty-free clothing that is built to last.

Ideally this will mean both vegan and natural materials but I'm aware synthetics are near unavoidable. Please feel free to share synthetic materials that are made for long-term / indefinite use.

In summer I typically wear only cotton / linen but as the weather gets colder I'm looking for warm or waterproof winter clothes. I asked this question to a vegan community already and I'll put their responses in a comment below.

I have the vegan version of a common boot brand for most of the year and that was my year round when I lived in a milder place.

My current winter boots are very clearly snow boots. Not sure if that's something that will work for you. The culture is to change shoes when you are at work or like a doctor's office so you aren't wearing them all day.

The materials are:

Great thank you. It seems like treated nylon is the way to go for a waterproof top layer.
