Reply to BIFL 13 Year Old Carhartt Belt it's the best by HawkenRevenge

Is it like this one? https://www.carhartt.com/product/800610/jean-belt?categoryCode=

It claims it is "full grain leather." And has a similar buckle style. But the price makes me think it is of lower quality than the one you got.

Reply to Looking for more durable dish gloves by curlycattails

Mr. Clean are the best. I stock upon the white ones. Inexpensive enough that I can discard when they get too grubby. Just don’t get water in them and let them dry inside out. I use them for everything! With several pairs in rotation I can get more than a year out of them.

I dont know if Merrell is BIFL, but they recently had a sale for some of their boots, on their site and in Amazon, under $80 for some of them. They are comfy for me, and light for boots.

Useless. The sun gives you more from a second than the lights from a device will all day.

I got some boots from The Office of Angela Scott that are blowing my mind. I also love Beek’s all-leather boots.

Go to Printfresh.com and check out what they have. I have multiple pairs and they get softer with each wash, plus the patterns are great. You can iron them if you want to look crisp but I never do. The kind of pjs you’re not embarrassed answering the door in.

From my doctor, yes long term you absolutely should wear them when working on screens . The long term health of your eyes will be helped . But they are not a short term solution to screen headaches and eye strain .

For sure, they definitely get softer over time. Initially they can feel a bit stiff and rough depending on the material, but they get better over time with washings.

Would not use armour all. It will strip the oils out of your leather, give it a nice sheen for a couple of weeks.

I just had a YKK zipper fail on my Sierra Designs bike jacket. AFTER 24 years! And I'm totally good with that. The waterproofing on the inside of the jacket wore out before the zipper.
