Gussets can be inserted under the arm by your local tailor.

LL Bean has great, classic, durable versions of all of these.
You might also try Duluth Trading Company.

Buy it for life? This company started in 1998. I don't think this model has existed for 10 years.

I completely agree. It’s an amazing product and a shame that it all went away and isn’t what it was anymore. Take care of them and they’ll last a several lifetimes.

I grab them when I can find them since they’re not made in the US or of this quality anymore. Sometimes you need more than one if you bring more than one hot thing out to the fish house or camping (coffee and soup for example). I would like to gift a couple to my son when he’s old enough and I always like having spares of a great thing if I can help it. One day I may run one over with the tractor by accident or worse, it will get stolen, and I’ll need a replacement.

Yes. The top ones. I don’t like the lids from the bottom link. They have a removable seal that is finicky some times.

As long as it works, who cares?
That's literally my only concern.
Paying $10 to save a $250+ jacket is a great deal as long as it lasts.

If they all work flawlessly, why did you keep buying more?

I think a great way is to find a woodworker in your area. They will make you awesome furniture. It won’t be cheap but it will absolutely last for life, you would be supporting them, and they’ll make you anything you want which will make it a one if a kind piece of furniture.

I think they are overrated. Have had Nike socks outlast them, they wear out and thin pretty quick unless you’re just using them to walk on yoga mats.

I have a ton of the ones you linked to in different sizes. I searched but could only find out of stock links. Our lids are different (red outer, clear center) but they have held up well. Honestly they might be 15 years old by now. When was the big anti plastic push for food storage? I was surprised to see these aren’t still being sold. I think I have two footprints that stack - larger size had 3 depths and smaller size has two depths. The lids also squeeze together so you can stack them as a single unit per size - two towers vs dozens of loose lids. If you can find them somewhere or something similar I really recommend them. I’m pretty amazed we’ve had them so long - they have held up beautifully and get used constantly.

I have one from the 90s, it’s cool having something that was quality made in the US, supported jobs and families, built to last generations, knowing you can depend on it.

Mine is airing out in prep for a cleaning. Just used it to store food as I thawed my deep freeze (door was left open and the vents were frozen over, temps were rising up top). It was time to clean out the old stuff anyways I suppose.

Use a clear glass cup, honestly. I use a tall stemless champagne flute. You can see if it’s getting gross and then just wash it when you do your dishes.

I have these as well. They’ve never chipped or leaked. I can’t say the same for any other glass containers I’ve tried. Probably had them for 5-6 years now and all but two of my lids are still good.
