I can’t afford both so I have to pick one. One is 100% wool blanket from pendleton or pottery barn Belgian flax floral quilt?

Hey all, I find myself looking at my current daily driver pocket knife with a bit of disappointment. It's a Kershaw 1830 that I've had for nearly a decade and it's always been a little shy of what I actually wanted.

The knife has a plastic handle and the belt clip is held in with two screws, and one of them has completely stripped out. The clip is now completely useless which is why I'm writing here.

I know that there is some kind of warranty I could take advantage of, but honestly the knife has never been quite what I was looking for.

I'm left handed and would like to carry my knife in my left pocket with the tip up so when I reach in to grab it I can easily put my finger on the little blade deployment nub (whatever it's called) to flip it out. Ideally I'd like something we'll built, but thin and unobtrusive. I like the look of the Deejo knives but they are made of cheap Chinese steel and don't fit the left handed, tip up requirements.

Any suggestions?

I've been using 40-100lb tanks for my kitchen gas stove and another tank and line for gas logs. Both fail pressure at below freezing temps. I've been told to pour hot water on the regulators and this hasn't worked. My next advice was to replace the regulators. Looking for quality replacements for the regulators, thanks much...

I'm a doctor but based in the community rather than a hospital, so I spend a good chunk of my day (at least a couple of hours a day in 20-30 minute bursts) cycling around London - in rain, snow, hail, all of it.

I can't exactly get changed in a patient's house so I end up wearing my work clothes for all of this cycling and I'm burning through trousers like no man's business. Now I'm more senior I've stepped up from 'whatever I can find in TK Maxx that fits' to 'whatever I can find in John Lewis that fits' and I'm getting a bit more use out of them, but probably about the same value per pound spent.

BIFL is obviously impossible here but what have people found that sits in middle of the Venn diagram of smart/durable?

My husband and I are on the endless hunt for a decent pillow. Firm centre and soft outside for the side sleeping. I see so many recommendations for Coop and Purple Harmony, but we're in the EU and can't get them. Does anyone know an alternative. I've gone through so many pillows now, I'm starting to think i'll never find it.
For reference I'm looking for 80cm x 50cm pillow (or 75x50 also fine).

If anyone has any recommendations, it would be most appreciated. And open budget, we really just want a great pillow.

So I bought some glasses several years ago at Lenscrafters with Rayban frames (the lenses themselves weren't Rayban).

Anyway, the original frames I got broke later on (past the warrenty from Lenscrafter). At that time, I ordered new frames from Rayban website since they were having a sale for (I think it was around $144 before tax at the time?) Those frames also broke last year, in the exact same way (snapped off at the hinges in a way replacement hinges wouldn't work. For both). The lenses themselves are still fine and in my possession by the way.

I don't want to spend $150-250 on frames every 2 years or so to replace the frames. So I'm wondering if anyone knows EITHER:

• better quality / durable frames
• a knockoff or similar that can fit my lenses at a cheaper price.

For reference, I BELIEVE the frames were the RB 7047. I still have the broken frames back home somewhere, so I'll confirm when I get back & find them.

Looking for a t shirt that will hold its shape and wash well! And is built like a tank sick of having to replace them after like a year

3 years ago, I bought these buffy eucalyptus pillowcases since they promised to be cooling. It's been perfect for 3 years and they are still soft and don't get too warm during the summer. Finally, I decided to shell out for a full buffy sheet set but they only had "Breeze" sheets which sounded similar but turns out its made with lyocell instead of eucalyptus. Its still cooling but the texture is different (not as soft) and also very shiney which is not the look I like (the previous ones were not shiney at all).

I saw the Supima cotton sheets on sale and was curious if they were any good for hot sleepers? Are they soft? Do they last?

Also considering Peach Skin sheets but open to other suggestions.

We could keep buying gallon jugs of distilled water, but then we have the plastic jugs lying around that have to be recycled.

I haven't had any luck finding a black duvet cover in either organic linen or percale, so I thought I'd ask here. Looking for something high quality that will last as long as possible, and environmentally friendly. It needs to be black, not navy blue or dark grey, and fit a queen size insert. Ideally looking for something sub-$300, but willing to spend more if I absolutely need to to get what I want. Machine washable preferred.

Hello! I'm looking for a good quality large weighted blanket, not for bed or sleeping but for relaxing and using on the sofa, I want it large as I'm 6ft6 and ideally 9kg or more.

I have tried to buy one from Oodie which was 198x121cm but Oodie being a shambles of a company cancelled my order because they "oversold" the blanket I ordered and haven't answer any of my emails to them.

So if some one could recommend an alternative brand or place to find weighted blankets that would be greatly appreciated!

I can confirm the Rack has Barbour coats at 40-60% off. Multiple styles and colorways in store including women’s.

A great opportunity to own a well made, iconic piece of clothing that will last a life time.

…yet it’s still going strong!?

For me it’s my $20 Epica personal blender I bought 10 years ago and have used almost everyday for smoothies. Expected it to last a few months maybe, but still going strong thousands of uses later!

Looking for a quality leather or black boot with good soles for hospitality. With all the walking and crouching and squatting my last pair of boots (some shitty Chinese work boots) only lasted 2 months. Looking for a lasting quality shoe that fits well in 5 star bartending

I am in need of a large checked bag. I previously borrowed my mom's which was huge and I'm coming from a duffle style large checked back which I don't love. A few years ago I splurged and bought a carry on size one that I love so now doing the same for a checked bag.

I ordered a Samsonite large checked bag which has the dimensions of 30.5" x 21.5" x 13.5"  | 11.68 lbs. It seems huge to me so I am considering returning and ordering the medium checked which is 26.5" x 18.5" 11.5" | 9.04 lbs.

I used that size luggage about 1-2 times a year and usually they are on trips of 2-3 weeks both domestic and international. I am torn on which size to buy. The large seems huge but the medium seems only slightly bigger than the carryon size.

Looking for a good pair of boots that are stylish and work well with someone with skinny ankles and a wider toe box.

Nothing too expensive or too cheap would be great. If it actually is worth it, I’d be willing to pay more for it.

Any recommendations would be welcome. I inherited one that was relatively new, but it only lasted 4 years. It was perfect to use until recently, it got pretty dull and the handle snapped off.

Please help. I have combed reviews with no real help because most reviews seems to be part of promotion. Looking for honest reviews please!!! I have super sensitive and in general weak teeth!! No price limit

Got this Klean Kanteen over a decade ago and have boiled water in it (directly in coals/fire) and used from camping countless times. Even used as a target for my BB gun when I was a wee reckless lad. 😅. Just gave it a light sanding today to clean off the thick layer of soot and carbon

I’m looking for quality workout clothes and activewear for men.

I'm trying to find a quality durable poster tube as a gift for Christmas. Was hoping to hear some recommendations or perhaps some brands to maybe look into that would be BIFL.

I have been happily using the DSC “humble twin” since it came out 12 years ago (see: https://youtu.be/ZUG9qYTJMsI?si=uC6C75P8XWFx7_o_)

I end up using about 10 blades a month (because they were cheap, I found that this blade performed best when used only one time).

But now that it’s been part of unilever for a few years, I find the website / billing increasingly confusing, and the price for these “dollar” blades is creeping up.

Does anyone have suggestions for better / affordable subscription blades?

With all the research I've done, I think I've decided on these two pairs of earbuds. When it comes down to it, budget doesn't matter (ill get them on sale) but things I'm looking for are battery life, audio quality, and whichever will last the longest. I got the 2nd gen air pods and i'm sure their shelf life is like 2-3 years but I want something that'll last longer. The earbuds will be used everywhere, at home, traveling, gym, etc and I don't really care for noise cancellation as I live in a big city and wouldn't turn that on in like a subway or something. so any recs would be appreciated!

In 1990 I bought my first house with a yard and thus needed a lawnmower. Picked up a Snapper 3.5 hp push mower (not self propelled). Maintained it meticulously until a couple of years ago (that would be roughly 30 years of use) when the Toro Personal Pace went on sale. Like pushing a feather. Couldn’t be happier with both of them. It’s time to sell the old Snapper, but does anyone even use a non-propelled mower anymore? I hate to put it out for the trash, it’s been so trusty over the years and it’s in great shape. I highly recommend both. If all goes well that’ll be 2 mowers per lifetime! B2FL.

Hi everyone!

So I'm doing a bit of Cybermonday Christmas shopping for the girlfriend and have encountered that many flannel pajama recommendations here (Vermont, LLbean) have no option for shipping to Mexico.

Do you know any trustworthy brands that ship internationally?

As of right now, my options are Victoria Secret or Soma

Thank you!

I've been a big proponent of Smartwool socks for years. However I just got a pair and looked at them inside out. I'm curious, other BIFL'ers, what do your Smartwool socks look like inside? Do they look like this?

Update: i have reached out to Smartwool and supplied pictures but have yet to hear back. Will update on here when I do.

I currently use a lucky brand toiletries bag that has a zipper but the zipper has failed (again) so I will be replacing

Not too picky on material , but would like buttons this time around to alleviate overuse of zipper .

Edit : OK with minimal pockets , don’t give a crap if it hangs . Located in USA 🇺🇸

Thank you !
