I just realized this is the same brand all the influencers are carrying around. If they made a green vintage one like this I may consider it ha

For years, I've used the thick bands (ex. Goody Extra Thick Ouchless Elastics, but there are others) and those do hold up well, but over the holidays, my daughter turned me onto "satin scrunchies." While the jury is still out, they seem pretty awesome (they look like this: https://images.urbndata.com/is/image/Anthropologie/46288486_014_b). Her hairdresser recommended that she try them. (She has a LOT of very full, thick, curly hair; I have what has always been very fine, straight, and now thinning hair, and they work great for both of us.)

Depends how thick the veneer is and quality. Buy vintage or antique.

Try the hot water idea below. If the thermos still doesn't keep stuff hot for more than a couple of hours then the glass liner may be cracked.

Wow! I can’t believe I’ve never noticed how rad their winged-Bear logo is.

On par with Filson.

If I had a more limited budget I'd probably have a lot more of Target's house brand Goodfellow in my wardrobe. The price/quality ratio is a ton better imo than a lot of your typical US brands.

Make your clothes last by owning a small functional wardrobe of high quality clothing & washing it all by hand.

Research the correct methods of washing for your fabric type. Cold water is best for most things, but hot is appropriate for whites, especially towels. Know what you can & can't wring out, & make sure you never use standard detergent on wool, cashmere, mohair, or silk, they are protein fibers that need special care.

Invest in a clothesline or a big drying rack, & have something ventilated that you can put "flat dry" items on. The dying machine is the biggest clothes killer, the heat literally destroys fabric.

Never use fabric softener either. It ruins the fibers and causes a buildup that makes clothes reek and feel floppy and heavy.

BedThreads are incredible. Obsessed with their French Flax Linen sheets.

The majority of my wardrobe right now is: Octobre Editions (and they have a sister brand Sezane).

For basic staples across the board: ASKET

Linen button downs: Portuguese Flannel

Outdoorsy hiking stuff: Royal Robbins (especially if you catch it on sale at Moosejaw or elsewhere), Outdoor Research, REI (Patagonia is great as well but often just not my style)

I've found the price difference over mall brands is more than worth it.

Honestly I buy Goodfellow t-shirts at Target too and they hold up better than Everlane, J Crew, Banana, etc. Some of the stuff I've bought from Tie Bar in terms of button ups and button downs has held up better than those mall brands as well.

Don't leave em on top of your rig and drive away and then back over it when pulling over to find it.

Of course, I've never done that. (On my 3rd in 20 years).

They used to be, quality has declined.

If you think Everlane is good and want a sustainable brand, check out ASKET their stuff is way higher quality than Everlane.

Comparable in price to LL Bean or Filson for U.S. residents?

For me LL Bean can be pricy and any Filson purchase would have to be a major splurge, so there’s always a limit in terms of practicality.

Everlane was never BIFL imo. It started out "slightly better than mall brand." But fully agree the quality has tanked.

Look into ASKET, Octobre Editions (and their sister brand Sezane), Portuguese Flannel, and other sustainable European brands for quality pieces.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of their tees personally, but I have a few button up shirts, hoodies, and outerwear that I've had since 2016-present.

Their pants are generally too short on me.

LL Bean and Filson aren't what they once were for the most part.

ASKET is a Swedish brand that is all about simple staples, sustainably made that are long lasting. I highly recommend them for basics.

nitpicky, but i noticed the walmart dickies stuff has a button sewn on instead of the metal snap that i really love.

It’s all brand new. Have you tried filling the thermos with boiling water and letting it sit 5 min before emptying it and putting your food? It’s what I used to do with my cheaper ones. Works well.

I just recently bought a vintage Stanley Canon thermos. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually keep stuff hot for more than a couple of hrs.

How old is the one you got? Or is it new?

Soup.

I’d like to know what kind of soup.

Soup?

I'm sure this is true for most of their clothing but my medium weight long johns are tearing and my blue Sherpa hoodie is ripping at the wrist cuff. Simple fixes, I think pstt of BIFL is knowing how to sew and being able to look at these small issues as easily reparable, rather than a death sentence. That being said I've had them both for 1 year and they only are used in winter .

No wireless headphones are remotely BIFL. The battery will fall and it is not repairable. Try again.
