I’m a big fan of Mitchell Leather out of Milwaukee.

Never owned Shinola but the prices are fair and some/most/all is Horween leather. Nothing wrong with that!

Red Wing, Wolverine 1000 mile (maybe not dressy enough), and Allen Edmonds. Allen Edmonds mostly have leather soles but they do offer some with rubber soles and they can be re-soled.

Store them on shoe trees overnight.

Still have my Weber Spirit from 2007 or 2008. Other than flavorizer bars, I had to replace an igniter because my dog tried to eat it, but it’s hard to blame Weber for that one.

I kind of want to upgrade to a Genesis model but it’s hard to justify when this one still works as good as new.

We are almost done with a very extensive bath remodel in our house. Our current towels are cheap things from Costco that don’t match the new room. I got a big set of matching towels from Brooklinen and I beg to differ, I’m quite sure my wife will be really happy to get some really nice towels for the new room.

Mine is about as old. It’s done a couple hundred flights, multiple road trips. Has a chip or two but still works as good as new.

Douglas County / LFK voter here, we do what we can. Glad to see Laura re-elected, I think she’s doing a great job.

I’ve got the Fiskers titanium things. With the gears. I’ve been treating them like shit for about 12-15 years and they still operate at about 95%.
