Well my daughter is the youngest of four cousins and gets tons of clothes we then pass on but, and maybe it's a lifestyle thing, coats tend to be one of the things that don't last well. Baby age yes but after that she's wearing it every day without rotation and at daycare/school they spend lots of time outdoors in a muddy playground.

Unfortunately they require a much beefier gas supply, and they all seem to come attached to a gas oven which is far from ideal. They are incredibly powerful though and I have found some countertop ones, but I am yet to figure out if they literally sit on your counter, or if they are built in like the ones you normally see. I am also concerned about their ability to maintain a low heat, as that's not typically important in most restaurant settings.

A faded child's backpack.

As I would, had mine not fallen apart.

Unless it's Disneyfied, a children's backpack is just a small backpack. If the straps are adjustable, it's perfect for a lot of jobs for adults as well.

We absolutely love our Dexter Sani-Safe knives, and our Norton Tri-Stone sharpening stones. I got the stone when my dad passed away 16 years ago and he was a chef.

One of the things we appreciate about actual commercial grade equipment is that a lot of it is meant to be repaired, versus consumer grade which is pretty much meant to be thrown away and replaced if it breaks.
