Omg these look so so nice!! Perfect summer blanket - thank you for the recommendation! Do you mind sharing how long you’ve been using yours for? I’m curious how the quality holds up.

Yes I have tried linen! I completely agree, it’s the best fabric for hot sleepers. My only problem is it wore out after a year or two and I couldn’t get rid of the discoloration from use even with a once a week wash - have you had this issue? Any brands you suggest? I’ve had like 5 people suggest an ikea comforter! It seems like there’s a few, including a cooling one. Do you know which one you have by chance? Thank you so much for sharing!

Yes I looked into this one! I think I maybe even had it a while back at one point. I have had issues with ikea comforters tearing seams and leaking a bit. Have you had any issues with this one?

Yes! Everyone keeps recommending this! I found online they have a cooling duvet - is this maybe the same one you’re referring to?

This is what I was going to say. Even quality synthetic rugs run in the thousands.

I looked into this one! The quality and sturdiness seems amazing. I really want to pull the trigger and drop on the investment but I’m only worried about our summers here as we do not have AC and it tends to get pretty toasty in our bedroom with direct sun. Do you think it would also do well in an environment like this?

I have this. Great quality, keeps it cold for days and I se it lasting for many more years.

Yes!! People keep telling us to switch to 2 duvets too! Plus you can actually get what you want. Everyone also keeps suggesting the ikea cooling duvet. It’s sooo much more affordable than some of the other suggestions. Thanks for the recommendations!

Do you by chance know what brand your sheets are if you’re willing to share?? Every ‘high end’ brand I’ve tried has worn out after a year or two

This is honestly genius!! A lot of our coupled friends have been switching to this too. Plus it would be nice to each get what we want. Thank you for this!!

I keep hearing this too!! Cotten and linen are supposed to be the best fabrics for hot sleepers - thank you so much definitely going to do this. Any Cotten sheet suggestions? All the ones I’ve tried tend to wear out pretty quickly and get a ‘grimy’ feeling even with a once a week wash. Idk if that’s the right word, but hopefully that makes sense

My sovereign’s can be resoled but then again most wellies aren’t really footwear that lends itself to decades of workwear because one wrong piece of metal will rip the waterproofing.
But me on the farm checking out the sheep and playing with the shelties they’ve lasted decades without needing resoling then again the hardest surface they ever touch is the wood in the barn and porch and the odd stone.

Don't think those can be resoled either?

They don't make wide calf versions. I'm not a huge person, I just have really muscular calves, so they don't fit. I've yet to find any brand rubber boots that fit.....
All the short boot versions don't work for me either, same problem, only tight at the very top of the boot, which on short boots is a horrible spot to get a blister.

I bought my Frieling French press from there, pretty sure Chemex also sells on there via FBA.

I’m in the same boat, not a farmer or a chemical worker but I do like these boots for everyday life!

No such thing with these style of boots

A lot of people have commented these aren't very durable or repairable (definitely not to the standards of this sub... ie my redwing iron rangers).
Anyhow, I'll say this: I'll buy another pair after they die, but y'all are probably right, I suspect they're not super durable for hard work. Good for casuals though?

Fair enough. I re-read the sub idea. Perhaps we should delete this post? Or maybe keep it here for posterity sake?

Will you keep buying it for life or you switching bourbons?
I'd say if you have that loyalty, it's BIFL.

I’ve had mine for three years and wash them very Sunday. They are amazing. Soft and cool.

These do act like a larger heatsink than glass ones, so it's not necessarily a bad idea to preheat them before adding coffee. It's really only something you have to worry about with very light roasts that take pretty high slurry temps to brew properly.
The effect is a lot more noticeable with plastic vs. ceramic V60 pourovers.
