Does anyone have experience with a bifl floor sweeper though? Like the non-electric kind? I feel like it’s overkill to spend so much on an electric vaccum when I just have small area rugs.

Repairability is the main thing for me.

My spouse prefers Patagonia performance twill jeans. They come in a good range of colors and are slimmer fit. He skateboards in them and wears them to work, they look great. He has them in every color and it’s all he wears.

Reply to how to patch ember holes in down jacket? by Peacera
Tenacious tape! I used it to patch winter gloves that I fell and ripped the palms out of three years ago, I didn’t think it would hold up in a high use area but it has! And I wear these gloves for bike commuting so I’m hard on them!

Don’t waste it on their socks! They don’t stay up after only a year! The clothing is good though. I have a pair of Smartwool sweatpants I got second hand that I love.

Doc martens are trash! My spouse switched to Thoroughgoods a few years ago. Made in USA and you can get them resoled indefinitely. Danner also makes lovely boots.

Le Tricoteur makes a zipped Guernsey. I have a regular jumper from them and it’s exceptionally warm.

Reply to Shaver/trimmer with USB C? by sbarnea
Hi, barber here. Don’t buy a cordless trimmer. They are trash and don’t last. I have experimented with top barber quality cordless versions of their classics and they are garbage and you can’t fix them. The best trimmer on the market is the Andis t-trimmer. All parts are easily replaceable and you can have them serviced by Andis. For anyone reading this who is also wondering about clippers, Andis Masters.

My larger rug is a ruggable! But it’s kind of a pain to wash. It’s 8x11
