(download)

The Day of the Triffids, a 1981 BBC Miniseries based on John Wyndham's book of the same name combines two of favourite things: Post-apocalyptic dystopia and practical, well-made (and homemade) apparel. 

Lesson: At the collapse of human civilization, quality and durability are king.

(Also: Never turn your back on a giant, mobile, man-eating plant.)
