Reply to comment by Soft_Use229 in Looking for a company like Everlane, but for women's cargo pants. by JunahCg
Tbh they have very few options not covered in Teflon, and I have no need for PFAS in my butt crack. Great for EMTs I'm sure, but not my scene. I'll just be getting the single pant made of cotton

Check out the Revol brand if you’re looking for dishes. It’s a French restaurant brand that expanded into homewares. All their stuff is super strong and microwave/freezer.oven safe.

Reply to Looking for an automatic pour over style coffee maker that lasts over a year… by aarond9760
Bought a Cuisinart PurePrecision a couple years ago and it’s the best at-home coffee maker I’ve ever owned. It’s auto pour-over style and if this one ever gives out, I’ll probably just buy another.

Yeah I had a jansport around 2012-2015. Bottom fell out of it after just that short time. Got a north face then and it has no signs of wear since, daily use in school as well as hiking day trips and every time I travel.

Reply to comment by spooks_are_among_us in Corona 17-DK Kerosene Heater. Older than me(1987) and wonderfully heats my garage every winter. by biggswiggins
Exactly this. Being out in the country also meant we were last on the priority list for power restoration. When a bad storm hit we would drain the water lines so pipes wouldn't freeze, so lots of just having to make it work with what we had.

Look into Downlite bedding. They supply a lot of hotels and chain stores with their bedding.

Don't have any personal experience with them, just bluestar and commercial ones.. Bluestar is the same as a commercial unit, just a little more compact and lighter.

Had an enameled kettle from them that started crumbling after a few years. Won’t be buying another.

Reply to My original popsocket I got free from a bar in 2018 finally gave out. Survived 2 phones and 3 cases and 5 years of use. Never once doubted it. Time to replace for a new one! by flatearthmom
Popsockets sound like a total scam to me.
If I wanted more grip on my phone, I‘d just use a sturdy case with a wrist strap. They worked on cameras before. Or one with an integrated ring or a finger loop.

What often makes something soft and "broken in" is the individual fibers making up a thread break making the threat have a fuzzy halo of little strings that collectively feel soft. So the softer, the closer to breaking!

I got a few things at about 40% off of retail. I remember a grill pan I saw on QVC for $129 being $39 too. And it was just a lovely store as well. Nice to be able to go and touch everything and see what things feel like.

And a wear factor on the laundry machine!
Make both sheets and laundry machines last longer! Wash less often!

I have a lowe alpine day pack I purchased in 1997. Other than the foam in the shoulder straps breaking down, it is still going. I use it exclusively for camping and as a day pack when jet setting.

They made enough of an inroad into camera bags that they are still considered a quality option for those. But yeah their normal backpacks are just ok now.

Vionic. They come in wide widths and have excellent arch support.

Buy some black fabric dye and dye it back to black, then it will be good as new :)

I didn't know that thank you! I'll check out Garland now :)
Beratazzoni are not highly rated by the people that use them, apparently they break easily and often and are expensive to replace and have bad customer service. If you have information to the contrary I'd love to hear it though!

What kind of discounts do you see at the outlets? There’s one about an hour away from me, is it worth the drive?
