How about saving money by buying clothes that last? That's the concept behind the 30 Year Sweatshirt from designer Tom Cridland.

"It aims to put an end to planned obsolescence, which causes a needless cycle of consumption and waste," Tom explained. "A combination of technology, premium fabrics and old-school craftsmanship make it built to last a lifetime."

On top of that, it helps good causes. In partnership with the charity Deki, 10 per cent from every sale will support Third World entrepreneurs living in abject poverty, by giving them grants to work on their businesses. The 30 Year Sweatshirt is available through tomcridland.co.uk for £55 (including shipping) until 19 December.
