Brooks for most comfortable, they dont last forever though.

Gen Z? You wouldn't understand. 🤭

This is so individual- but my favorite walking shoes are Nike Free Run. Never had a more comfortable walking shoe.

There’s nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing particularly right with it either. Aluminum is a bit of a flag for me because it does corrode where stainless doesn’t.

West coast shaving has a kit with a handle, a head, and three different combs (piece between the handle and the head) with different angles/“aggressiveness.” You can pick the handle you like, then try the different combs until you land on one that works, then the other two will likely live in a drawer forever.

People recommend the Merkur 34c, there is honestly nothing special about that razor. It’s a stand-in for “a razor that isn’t aliexpress trash.”

No sweat. It says to measure towards the end of the day because your feet swell, throughout the day

I stitch all the seams with a stretch stitch. The zippers on the pockets are the worst! I have to take the pocket apart and Stitch down the zipper.

Yeah that area is really famous :)

The first part was a bit sarcastic of course... but for the dirty rich people, it's also a possibility.

I’m an avid fan of Tellason. Wonderful quality, wonderful service. Own their denim, shirts, and jackets. The hand-signed thank you card with every order is just the icing on the cake.

Oh awesome I never saw this guide! Hmm, without printing and going by my rough measurements, I come up as narrow on here, but that doesn't sound right. I'll print the guide off and try, thanks for this!

Here's one from the guy I bought my wallet from. I believe it's a one-man operation out of Hong Kong. I'm pretty sure I discovered him on Etsy (or a similar site) and the minimalist style and quality materials was just what I was looking for.

Mine is just a simple billfold, and at nearly 3 years old, I can't imagine it ever failing. However, I don't know about the keyring holding up forever! Perhaps as long as you don't snag it too often.

This has a print out, so you can stand on it and verify your size. Most places have something similar

Wow, that sounds brilliant!

I think that might be a good choice. Unfortunately nobody seems to define exactly what a wide fit is. I measured my foot and it seems to be 100mm across at the widest part.

That's unfortunately an 11 hour drive to pop to Northampton 😅

I'm very rarely out of the county, and even more rare I'm that far north, but it would be fantastic if I'm ever in the area. I had no idea about their reputation, that sounds great!

Unfortunately I can't just pop to London, it's 11 hours of driving 😅

Singer doesn’t even make sewing machines now. They sold the name. Old Singers are great. New Singers are not.

What happened after four years?

You can, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for walking or hiking (I own a pair of moc toes).

Sounds like a PakT

Thanks for that! I checked out their offering, seems they’ve a 50/50 merino/cotton button shirt too

Depends on how old it is… Singer uses more and more plastic over time. When I bought a used one I made sure it was all metal. I would have gone with mostly metal too but lucked out.

The Fjällräven Travel Pack is straightforward, simple, unassuming, and well thought out. My wife and I each have one and we use them every time we fly.

It doesn’t have a waist strap or an exterior water bottle holder but I think it checks the most important boxes rather well. The laptop set up is very nice and secure.

Check out icebreaker merino wool button up shirts. The last one I found had some nice stretch to it

My post yesterday on merino generated a lot of interest and discussion, so clearly it’s you who are in the wrong. Users want long-life merino and are willing to pay the price.

A search of “merino” on the subreddit reveals regular and popular discussions on the topic; it clearly shows that quality of clothing is within the Overton window of discussion.

Go play policeman on those posts:

Don't move the goalposts as a wool shirt does not last longer than a long staple cotton one. You posted in the wrong sub...its OK, go to the right one and ask, I even gave you the right sub. Or google for yourself. You are asking a question about where to buy/find as you already have your answer. I gave you two options....go forth and find them.
