    @Oaktavia I have both some Duluth Trading (I used to love their ventile firehose pants before I discovered IH) and the Mack Weldon long leg boxers and of the two I tend to prefer the Airknit MW I suggested.

    The Duluth stuff is definitely high quality and backed by a money back guarantee. But I prefer the fit, feel and comfort of the MW ones I suggested.
    I forget what the blue ones are called but they are not that comfortable. I had two pair of Armachillos that I didn't care for.

    Avoid the DT organic cotton boxers. They get pills like crazy.

    Avoid the MW Airknit xHD they get pills like crazy and snag a lot too.

    One of the things I like about the MW is they don't have any fly and I am not able to undo just the fly on a pair of XHS without undoing the waist too… So you really don't need a fly anyway.

    If Merz B. made long legs boxers I would be keen on buying them. But they don't. With XHS I like the long leg stuff, even Fruit of the loom makes ones I like and wear at work.

      You can get like 15 pairs of the FOTL long legs for the price on one pair of MW so they are pretty much a no-brainer

        @Filthy oh wow thanks for all the thorough information. I'll likely add FOTL to my orders soon.

          Will the duck overalls be making their way to IHUK?

            Not unless the Japanese make them again. And they have not done so for years now I am afraid….

                  @henry_david same man, I'd gladly have one in duck and one in wabash. I assume if Bibs are selling well Haraki might consider it…

                      Looking for a cool (hip? do they still say hip?) small purse for my wife. What's the cool brands? Nothing super girly but nothing masculine either. Does that make sense?

                      She's looking at this but it's a little…cheesy maybe? For $200 I feel like there's gotta be something a little better.

                        @setandsetting – I know that people freak for Baggu (at least here in San Francisco) and that a lotta the trendy youth can be seen rocking its totes.

                          Thanks @henry_david I'm definitely gonna suggest that to my wife.

                          More suggestions please if anyone's got 'em!

                            @setandsetting I bought my wife this cross body from Damn Dog and it's her daily purse. They are designed in New Orleans and made in India. It's compact, fairly cheap, and made of thick canvas and leather. the zipper closure is a beast too.  After 3 years there's not a stitch out of place.

                              What should I do with my first Swatch that no longer works?  I got it on the boardwalk in Ocean City when I was 11 in 1987.  I can’t get rid of it but should I wear a watch for strictly decorative purposes?

                                  @Matt I'd rock a swatch watch if I had one laying around…

                                    I have a couple that work and I wear them.  I have a clear one that works very well with my tattoos.    I’m just not sure what to do with this one.  It’s old school and is clearly a statement piece from its era, but functionally it’s garbage.

                                      I would think you could replace the movement or have it repaired.

                                        Alas Swatches we’re designed to be disposable.  They’re laser sealed and do not have any known servicing providers.
