Oh shit, you’re right. I just pulled up a receipt from a belt I ordered in 2018 too and I paid $58.43 for the gunner belt and they’re $75 now.

You can’t sew?

Blanket stitch is very easy to do and easy to learn and sturdy. Heck, it’s great on blankets! If you’re going to own BIFL things then mending is a great skill to learn. This is a really easy one to start with!

I really enjoy it.

I had a Patagonia coat that I cut by accident, and they patched it for free in the retail store.

Currently wearing a 20 year old hoodie that has been worn heavily and aside from some pilling is going strong

All of my suits are made to measure and it is absolutely worth it. For $400-$500 you have a garment that fits PERFECTLY, and that’s what makes it look good. A $100 jacket with $100 of tailoring will always look better than a $1000 off the rack.

It is however a skill and a profession so I would not recommend trying to make your own clothes unless you’re doing as a hobby rather than to have nice things.

Ankarsrum mixer. Made in Sweden, way better than the current KitchenAid.

Great quality products and stand behind their warranty. I have had items patched and replaced by then. No hassles at all.

Yeah I hate the fit of darn tough socks. My experience with them (in terms of wear) has been no better than smartwool, and smartwool socks fit so incredibly well. I love Stance socks too, as a running sock anyway. I have one pair that has about 500 miles of running on them and haven’t worn through yet.

US based here, so this may not be an option for you. I have a ordered a few dresses made to my measurements online from a place in India. For the price, it was only worth it for dresses for non-casual wear, but the fit and quality were amazing. I assume there is more than one place online that does this. They had a catalog of clothes online and you could customize things like sleeve length, collar, hem length.

We use these chopsticks at home. Still like new after 6 years of use.

hmm.. i did not know this. I was all in on Arcteryx before. I'll keep this in mind for my next purchase.

Don't put wooden things in the dishwasher. Don't let them soak. Just wipe them down and dry right away.

I've had mostly good luck with them. One down jacket started falling apart within a couple years of occasional light wear but most keep on going, year after year

I like the micro crew socks they sell. They set below the calf so you don’t have to worry about them stretching over your calf muscles and then sliding down.

Thanks! This helps me even more to make up my mind! Thanks again for your time replying my post.

My father, who worked in Korea for a while, told me unlike the Japanese the Koreans prefer metal chopsticks as more sanitary. I have two pairs of Snow Peak titanium chopsticks as titanium is both sanitary and biocompatible, and Snow Peak is top-quality.

100% of profit is different than 100% revenue. The owner donated the company to a trust and so all that profit that the company makes goes to the trust, and the trust is set up so that it’ll automatically pay out climate charities and stuff like that.

Edit: here’s the explanation in their words https://www.patagonia.com/ownership/

I have a bunch of patagonia items and they hold up great. I bought one lightweight jacket at Costco, and I don't think it was really made as well as other pieces I have -- the zippers on the pockets broke over one winter. Well, early in the spring i sent the jacket off to their repair shop and it came back at the end of summer with new pocket zippers and it's held up great this year. I had to pay for shipping there and back, but otherwise the repair was totally free!

They are a great company

There is no considered good material just like there is no considered good color for a car...its a personal preference. This is BIFL and in that vein, you can find stainless steel, titanium or carbon fiber chopsticks. There are no unsafe chopsticks.
