hard-wearing
Built to last
Hard-wearing describes materials or products that withstand heavy use without deteriorating quickly: hard-wearing fabric, hard-wearing boots.
The term is more common in British than American English, where durable often appears instead.
It applies especially to clothing, flooring, and upholstery expected to endure rough treatment.
