Get cast-iron Allen Edmonds shoes. Make sure you season them properly.

Rules:

Must be products that are made of some heavy inflexible metal and made before 1970 or with a process that has not changed since 1970.
Link to a place where you can buy the product for at least $150. Or don't, I don't care.
Don't even think of using a referral code to make some money. This subreddit is for rich people who can already afford this stuff. Go back to r/Frugal_Jerk you poor person.
I guess you can link to Amazon.
Make some requests, and label them [BI4L Request]. We'll find you the most expensive possible option made of the heaviest possible metal. It will also require daily care in a very time-intensive way or else you will ruin it and it will be all your damn fault.
This is a subreddit emphasizing products that are expensive, ugly, or maintenance-intensive. All products must be at least two of these things, and ideally also very old.
