Nice! I was hoping to get my wife's knives laser engraved but lazied out.

They're making cows so cheap nowadays. Sad.

Glad to know. My Briggs & Riley is looking a bit worn.

Good point. I've found the Bean stuff to be more livable day-to-day with better features. I've never disliked a Bean product but found Columbia coats to be irritating. Uninsulated pockets, scratchy velcro, crummy zipper flap. Limited data set so YMMV

I'll disagree about LL Bean vs Columbia from my experience, but for the masses both are quite good. Agree about Carhartt; not as durable or warm as I expected.

Reply to Suspenders that are not just novelty? by plsdontstalk
I've had Dickies, Carhartt, even Craftsman tool belt suspenders. The clasps universally suck.
Was at Duluth Trading Company and saw some that bragged how they hook under the belt. I'm a Boomer but will never, ever, ever simultaneously wear a belt and suspenders.
I think I'm getting some for Christmas that attach to belt loops and look forward to this.
BTW suspenders are a godsend. I'm thin and pants always slide down when I'm working. Along with bib overalls they're the most practical and comfortable things ever.
