  • I know you said insulation is less of a concern but I gotta put in a good word for Baffin boots. Waterproof, with replaceable and removable insulated inner liners. The difference wearing those makes in snow is immediately perceptible, and they all have good traction too. I have bought used pairs and all but one set (my kid’s) still look pristine after multiple seasons.

    Bogs also seems to be good quality, though I haven’t worn them myself. Their insulated rain boots have withstood an impressive amount of abuse from my kiddo.









  • Does the shirt’s fabric content tag mention spandex or elastane or any other stretch material in it? If it’s not 100% polyester and it’s any percentage of stretch fabric, I would say that is the elastic material breaking down and degrading. It can degrade from age, hard wear, washing in vinegar or harsh detergents, or putting it in the dryer at high heat. It’s also completely unnecessary in knit fabrics and I’ll give you three guesses why fast fashion brands like to throw it in everything they make (but I think you’ll only need one).

    Watch how real progressive candidates and actual normal human beings will get torn apart by the political machine. There is a huge industry in keeping the status quo and lots of money to be made ensuring progressive candidates don’t get momentum. They weren’t able to stop Mamdani, but billionaires can stamp out a lot of fires with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into “centrist” politics.
