What about things that are intentionally built (in a good way) not to last for life?

e.g. clothing built with more sustainable and/or more performant materials may not be 'buy it for life', but to some may be a better item.

How do those get reviewed over time? For example I have a few different wool sweaters - my favorite one I've bought twice and yet falls apart more rapidly than others.

One example of this brought up is https://www.econtalk.org/elizabeth-pape-on-manufacturing-and... - where in the interview she states her clothing items aren't built to be 'for life'.

There seem to be filters for several ethical labels (vegan, fair trade, …)

If you filter by those and still find that this product has a shorter lifespan than comparable products then idk.
