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.

  1. Keep discussions civil.

  2. Arguments against veganism will be removed.

  3. No bigotry is allowed - including speciesism, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, castism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

  4. Sealioning will not be entertained.

  5. No promoting of plant based capitalism

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.

Additional question - It seems the best way to keep warm in cold weather is to layer natural layers with treated/waxed nylon or cordura on top. Does anyone have experience with this or know of an accessible guide online? Every post I find is linked to a shop or otherwise trying to sell something.

Also any info on the waxes to use (Parrafin, soy oil, synthetic beeswax, candelilla are all options I have come across) is appreciated!

I use an "oilskin" (actually cotton) as a raincoat and wax it with a mixture of carnauba wax and jojoba oil. Castor would probably also work, you just need to add something to soften it that's heavy enough not to get displaced by water.
