BIFL? Hestra

Their “collection” collection is great. And the “table cut” line is incredible.

Redland cotton /thread.

They’re not the “ultra mega super plush” kind of towels (which that overly-plushness actually contributes to fiber degradation over time) but it’s a cross between a waffle and a “regular” towel imo. Super absorbent and very, very high quality.

Totally get it. Hope you keep it alive for many more years. Just a shame (like many others) that with popularity Dyson’s quality has diminished.

I understand the sentiment here - but keep in mind that sheep will literally die if they are not sheared.

It’s necessary (and humane), us humans are lucky enough to benefit from the the outcome. It would be such a shame to waste.

Old Dysons are “okay”. But I certainly wouldn’t consider any new Dyson vacuum anywhere near BIFL quality.

BIFL = corded and bagged Miele, SEBO or Lindhaus

Cordless & Bagless = disposable toy (shark and dyson)

Check out Everki

Lmao - yeah you got me pegged bro! 😂. Classic Lib L. You legitimately think you’re better than everyone, and yet, you’re still… you.

Enjoy getting your product recommendations spoon fed to you from multi-million dollar ad platforms and thinking you’re “informed”.

I sincerely hope you can pull yourself out of your crippling depression, and I wish you great success in your career at Starbucks… In the meantime, I’ll have a Venti Pistachio Latte please.

Dude. I drive by the Redwing plant on a regular basis and personally know people who work on their buy side supply chains…

MOST OF THEIR BOOTS ARE STILL MADE IN THE US.

I’m not sure what else to tell you.

Maybe respond to this comment 13 more times.

Maybe you should reply 8 more times to a single comment. Did I trigger you?

Believe it or not - fucking food and wine magazine may not offer the most comprehensive buying advice. You’re not the “informed consumer” you think you are. You’re consuming paid advertisements under the guise of a “product review” (CR is the exception to your list). It’s all bought and paid for dude.

I bet you have a Shark or Dyson vacuum too, huh? I hear good housekeeping rated them very high 😂😂🤡

Imagine comparing sportiva to redwing. They’re completely different type of boot - as if that was some kind of flex? Lmao. Oh, and sportiva manufactures in China and Vietnam you clown.

You’re on a roll in this sub, spewing garbage product recs without understanding what you’re talking about.

😂🤡

Unless you’re stewing tomato cause for hours in a pan (you’re probably not) a cast iron / carbon steel is an all purpose pan. Consider carbon steel if you don’t like cast iron.

As for stainless: Demeyere, All clad, American kitchen (look for anything that is fully clad, 3 ply, 18/10 stainless and it will last a lifetime)

Demeyere and American Kitchen are arguably the same or better than all clad.

Completely untrue. Many of their models are still made in the US and are fantastic quality.

Don’t buy cheap boots and you won’t have that problem.

Which redwing did you try? Very shocked to hear you burned through them. We’re they an entry level boot?

Since you work on your feet, you shouldn’t even be considering any safety toe boot below $300.

BIFL? Savior no question.

You won’t find them on Amazon or big box stores.

Redland Cotton /thread

Perhaps you could find a reputable dealer in Malaysia that will ship here?

3M CTM-02 seems to be exactly what you’re looking for. NSF 53 rated as well.

However, there is a catch. it’s a product for the Malaysia market. So sourcing it (and refills) may be difficult. I’m sure you can find it on the internet, but would need to order a bunch of refills to make it economical to ship.

Carmine Jack’s Oak Bark outfitter kit. It’s a custom, made to order belt. Incredible quality.

Corelle /thread.

King Hickory, Stickley, Flex steel (in that order)

+1 for Redland Cotton.

Their towels are fantastic. Not ultra plush (which is a good thing for towel longevity) but still very absorbent. just make sure to care for them correctly with Oxiclean. chlorine bleach will deteriorate the fibers. (This goes for ALL cotton towels, not just Redland.)

Magee’s has some fantastic Irish Tweed overcoats.

You and me both. Just waiting for my kidney sale to go through!
