Not sure if they’re your style but I have some American Needle sweatshirts and some Cotopaxi sweatshirts (Cotopaxi are thicker and warmer) that have held up pretty well. I wouldn’t say they’re bifl because it depends on how often you wear and wash them, but you can get a good 10 years of frequent wear and they’ll still look good.

Reply to BiFL Large cooking pot? by Daxime

I'd go to a restaurant supply store and get a basic tri-ply steel pot. Those things take years of abuse in commercial kitchens and keep going. It'll be quite a bit more than $1 though.

Another option, if you have some patience, would be to keep an eye out at thrift stores. You'd be surprised what you find some times. I just bought a nearly new all-clad skillet for $5 at one.

Any cast iron Dutch oven will do, although the largest I’ve seen is generally in the 7-8qt size, and given that I have an enameled 7.5qt one that’s fairly massive that I got at Walmart for like 80 bucks, a 10qt one might be untenable just in size alone

You might also consider a slow cooker. I meal prep in one and it’s arguably easier than the Dutch oven I use

I have the same exact machine; had to tell the kids not to fill the washing machine all the way because the dryer doesn’t do so well with such a huge load. Not sure why you think the drum is small. Also, in the 3.5 years we’ve had it I haven’t noticed my clothes or towels aging any faster than usual. Very happy with it.
