I would ask you to add Mitchell Leather to that list.
Family-run business in Milwaukee since the late 60s (when we were the leather capital of the US), hand made, artisanal level. And because they're small production they can source smaller batches of higher-quality leather than the "big boys" can get.
I've got one of their money clip wallets and love it, and my father has had one of their briefcases for the past twenty years and I'll almost certainly inherit it when he dies.
Not a shill, just a happy user of some of their products.

Reply to Best beard trimmers for shaving by kpcnq2
My boyfriend got Philips Norelco trimmer years ago and us being us, we immediately lost the charger for it. That thing lasted almost 2 YEARS without needing to be charged and with fairly consistent use. I’d highly recommend it, works great and the battery is probably actually magic

Ecovessel. Metal, double (maybe triple)-wall, Kinda pricey but bulletproof. I found one floating in Lake Michigan (near shore), kinda banged up but still looks good and works great.

I’m also a hydro flask fan and recently (6 months ago) got an iron flask. Same concept, half the price. I’ve been impressed so far. Might be worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Clarks Bushacre II. These are the price leaders. Yes, they are shitbox shoes on paper. Cheap. Overseas made. No frills. But, other than their shitty laces, they will last you 200 years as the soles are made from Nokia 3310s.

Designer brands suck. They are made in the same factories as Walmart products.

Why not an infrared one? Heard they last longer than the oil heaters. The hundred dollar ones dont seem to last more than 2 or 3 years.

I've done the store brands that cost like $15 and have the fall sensor or Holmes branded ones. With that said recently stayed in relatives basement and they had the dish style heater and those really work well but its like a laser beam of heat.

On closer inspection mine has 14 pins and doesn't match anything I see on the website. I emailed them a photo of the connectors but I'm thinking I'm SOL. Thanks for the suggestion, though! We'll soon see if they have new products in the works or just what.

Vellies are really nice and comfy. They recently introduced a new model that's a bit more dressy too.

Mine shuts off if it gets knocked over too, least it’s supposed to. Throws a lot of heat.

Thanks, my Honda has the dimming rearview mirror but I gotta check the connector pins to see if the Toyota one will work - the website only says a cryptic "some models".

Second the Owala comment. Seems decently built, somewhat insulated. Not as good as my yeti, but I drink a lot of water with it.
