Reply to comment by tky_phoenix in Patagonia Baggies trunks and a synchilla full zip still going strong from the early 90s by butter_lover

Oh it’s legit, bought a pair of khaki shorts from a Plato’s closet for 15$ wore great but they seem to have been abused hard before me, couple months later I tore a hole in the crotch and tried their repair program, only paid 5 dollars for the shipping and sent them off, few days later they said they couldn’t repair them because the tear was too drastic but they gave me 65 bucks in store credit! Ended up buying a pair of pants from their worn wear program and they feel like new and seriously the best pants I’ve ever owned

Reply to comment by mistephe in [BI4L Request] Fingerless Gloves by IceBearSword

Thank you very much, i see shoes like that as well, but gloves go a long way, before using them at my work place, I had the same pair for at least 3 years, and when I was a kid I had a pair for over 9, so I believe they can be really durable.

Sure. And gloves really do go a long way I think for what you are doing. Just as long as there’s nothing risky going on of some kind of servo or motor starting leading to the glove getting trapped and injuring your hand. Like they always warn with rings and jewelry.

Dyson sells them on their website for the newer models, and you can always call their customer service to see if they have any for the older models.

This goes for lots of parts for lots of manufacturers. I needed a part for my Vitamix that wasn’t available anywhere online. I called Vitamix and not only did they have it, they sent it to me for free.

Always try the manufacturer even if their website doesn’t offer what you’re looking for. It never hurts to ask.

Hmm, it's hard to recommend something without more details about the contexts in which you'll use the gloves. Nonetheless, the two fingerless options that I'd categorize into the near-BIFL category (I see gloves and shoes as eventually disposable, to be frank) would be the Black Diamond Crag Half-Fingers (my wife and use them for climbing and summitting and beat the daylights out of these gloves, but they just keep chugging along. I also brought a pair with me to Afghanistan and they held up wonderfully. With more moderate use, I'm not sure you could easily kill them) or a pair of Wristies (my entire extended family uses them as a warmth amplifier for winter sports, and we haven't worn a pair out yet. I personally wear the Tekk version for the harder face).

Reply to any good brands at nordstrom rack? by Accomplished_Alarm_1

I feel like the majority of the stuff there is made for outlet. I find very few items that came from the department store clothing wise a bit more in accessories/shoes/bags. In general I’ve had good luck with the house brands from Nordstrom but find the rack name brands are not as good quality wise.
