Hi. Sorry, I don't know anything about them.

My grandma threw away an amazing blanket that was in the family for 40+ years. I am still sad about it

North face voyager duffel. Comes in 3 sizes. The middle one, 42l works as a carry-on but all the sizes are good.
Works as a backpack, a bit like a briefcase and is what i use instead of a suitcase.
Packs away neatly inside itself too so doesn't take up much room in your house or your hotel room when you unpack.

That's vintage? My Yamaha M65 is still in duty as is my M4.

I have a Jabra 20 Evolve. It's more for calls and music but mic is decent. It seems to be very good quality. Sound is excellent.

A lot of etsy is like that, but not all. My wife recommended to me to look for Instagram or Facebook pages tied to the creator accounts and go research them to see if they actually make their products. Lots of people on Etsy still do make stuff, but it takes a lot of searching unfortunately.

Popov is a great company, thoroughly recommend supporting them, their owner seems like an awesome guy.
Also Mitchell leather makes a great bifold wallet (their money clip wallet) super slim and I have had mine going on 13 years now.

If the plastic latch breaks you're screwed though. I've thought of 3d printing a guard ring to make sure that the lock section can't hit the ground when dropped.

What do you think of Redback boots?
They're slightly cheaper than the Blundstones I looked at, have removable insoles and apparently have better build quality than Blundstones but they're also made in Australia instead of Vietnam.

Same here. I am on my third impeller but that is user error with random metal pieces getting caught and not removing them.

I always called my mom's old crockpot the "cruck put" because of the way the font reads.

They must cut them and assemble part in China? They just aren’t the same. I’ve been wearing them since the ‘70’s when they were rainbow colored. My kids loved going to the San Clemente store. ♥️

Yeah, it wasn't a huge factor in and of itself for us. I was more thinking of the cost of set cleaning being offset.

What kind of price range? Wesco boots will make you custom boots made specifically for your foot, but they are expensive

Reply to Faribault vs Pendleton by walking_birch
Faribault is better than Pendleton honestly and it’s always a great idea to support local when you can and they are made in Minnesota, even though Pendleton is made in Oregon. Faribault is a really great company and definitely worth it

My biggest thing is I like to carry one bag on the plane and check my other but I don't always like the carry handles on backpacks and would want to carry them horizontally if not on my bad. So I guess if there's backpacks that have more than just the small handle up top I'd be interested.

I love my Osprey bags. They are super durable and useful. But I do not have any "3 way" bags from them. I have their Porter 40 and 46 for travel needs. The porter has thicker sides that keep the bag from getting sloppy when underpacked
Maybe one of these might suit your needs...?
