Tom Cridland SweatshirtPosted by jesuslewis on July 21st, 2017 Some guarantees carry more weight than others, and Eastpak’s is one of the heavyweights. As a starter, the luggage brand will guarantee its special projects (with the likes of Raf Simons, Ami and the new ‘Lab’ series) for two years. If you buy one of its classic backpacks though, you’re looking at a 30-year warranty covering faults, defects and repairs. British designer Tom Cridland is on a mission to make clothes that last, and help save the environment in the process. Designed to avoid ‘built-in obsolescence’ (the idea that fast fashion is designed to wear out so that you’ll have to keep buying new stuff) his sweatshirts are crafted from high-quality cotton and come double stitched. Cridland guarantees each sweater for 30 years and will repair it free of charge as well. At £95, you could wear it once a week for the full three decades and it’ll cost you just 0.06p per wear. Bargain.
