- a jacket made of pure leather, custom-made, from a local artisanal, spent ~$120 (quite expensive for India), wearing it for 8 years, and it keeps getting better, zero sign of wear and tear - several fountain pens, especially Pilot Metropolitan F, Lamy Safari M; also the Platinum Preppy is really great, did not expect much from such a cheap pen; contemplated buying better fountain pens now and then, but these are so great; I write exclusively with fountain pens now - physical books that I buy, I buy because they are worth keeping, others I just borrow from library, friends, or buy ebooks - mechanical keyboard, a chinese-made rip-off of a famous brand, but really great, and just as same as the original - leather notebooks (refillable), gets better with the passing of time, can refill them with notebooks from market - as for software, I pay for/use stuff that are open, and easy to migrate from, has good support, etc. vim, ObsidianMD, git, etc. come to mind I am a person who always looks for durable products. Because I like the ease and comfort that comes from using stuff that you are using for years. I look for durable products when I am in the market for anything.
