Headphones, earbuds and desk speakers, chosen for what they measure rather than what they promise. Every model here publishes its frequency response and its impedance.

Bodies and lenses for photographers who intend to keep them. Weather-sealed, serviceable, and supported long after the model has been replaced.

Laptops and small-form desktops that can be opened with a screwdriver, upgraded without a soldering iron, and repaired for as long as the parts are made.

Pieces for a day that changes plans — cut to move, in fabrics that do not crease into evidence of where you have been.

Goodyear-welted boots and rubber-soled runners, both built to be resoled instead of replaced.

Keyboards, mice and controllers built for a decade of use: hot-swap switches, replaceable feet and cables, and firmware that stays open.

Wool spun in Biella and knitted in gauges chosen for how a piece should hang — loose to drape, tight to hold its shape.

Coats and jackets cut for weather rather than for a season, in leather, wool and cotton that will take a decade of wear.

Poplin, oxford and brushed flannel, cut with a longer tail so a shirt stays where it was put.

Heavyweight cotton at 220gsm, washed before it is cut so the shape you buy is the shape you keep.

Chinos, denim and wool, in three rises and two leg shapes rather than a dozen fits nobody can tell apart.

Watches and trackers with batteries that can be changed and data that can be exported. Nothing here stops working when a subscription lapses.
