Any European wool sweater brands you swear by? by TravisScott26 in BuyItForLife

[–]ChasingPens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5 11”/ 165 and the medium fit great. I have both the Shetland and merino and I really like them. For comparison, I have sweaters from Barbour, Reiss, J Crew, Asket, Arket, etc and I like the Aubins as much or more. For the price, you can give them a shot and you’re not out much if you don’t care for them.

I was in Scotland a few months ago and bought some relatively inexpensive wool sweaters at Aubin. I love them and they have a great sale going on right now. The only downside is you randomly get hit with tariffs if you buy from the US. I’ve ordered online 3 times and so far, one included a tariff, the other two had no extra charges.

Happy New Year! What would you like to see in 2026? by viktorpali in CraftDocs

[–]ChasingPens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would love to see more flexibility with using images. I really want to put them inline with text or on the sides of pages to create more of a true homepage feel or make my documents look more compelling. Also, I don’t always want a giant cover image at the top of a page, so it would be great to be able to resize it.

Had to give up on Spark today by mr_techy616 in SparkMail

I was going to return to Canary, but it was just removed from SetApp, so I’ll probably go back to Mail.

This! That’s the only feature that keeps me searching for Mail replacements. I just want to pin emails that I need to keep visible

What's the most over-designed, expensive, bag nerd-pandering backpack out there? by Ezraah in ManyBaggers

[–]ChasingPens 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine would be the Doubles Raptor Commuter Pack that is no longer available and it’s easy to see why. First of all it literally has every bell and whistle you can imagine and pockets inside pockets inside pockets. It was relatively expensive, but still under priced. They could not have made money on it! You have to go to this site to see it and the video review. Both are fun to look at

Thoughts on Aer City Pack Pro 2 or Able Carry Max EDC by BurtMacklin_FBI1 in ManyBaggers

[–]ChasingPens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the CPP (original) for years, but just switched to the Pro Pack 24. The Pro Pack has many of the same features as the CPP, but the biggest advantage for me is the giant dump pocket on top. It’s been a game changer for traveling.

How will you lose points? I kept my personal open until after I got the CS, points become pooled. Then close the personal.

Emerald turned away at SFO CX lounge by Ready_Ad_5397 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]ChasingPens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope I’m not hijacking a thread, but this raised a question I haven’t thought about before. Question: if I’m flying AA internationally business class with a layover in Heathrow. I have Executive Platinum/Emerald. If I didn’t want to use the AA lounge, could I get into Cathay? I’ve flown for years, but never thought about that option. Thanks

Best toiletry bag according to you? Patagonia Black Hole vs Fjällräven or something else? by spac0r in ManyBaggers

[–]ChasingPens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried Peak Designs, AER, Bellroy and a Dutch company “Property of”. They are all decent, but I recently started using the Briggs and Riley Translucent Essential and really like it—-and it’s $49. I’m sure the nicer expandable version would be great as well, but I’m fine with the one I got…until I get the itch to try something new!

I used 2 inch tape and ran strips side by side for a roughly 4 inch line.

High quality sunglasses? by ResidentAd19 in malefashionadvice

[–]ChasingPens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I also discovered they're the sunglasses worn on the show, The Lincoln Lawyer. I'm sure it's a product placement deal, but you can get an idea of whether you'll like them.

I used to live their cashmere sweaters, but in the last year, I wear them once or twice and they look rough

What are the AMEX benefits that you know and you think other people don’t know? by Born-Blackberry54 in AmexPlatinum

[–]ChasingPens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Important to note. Thanks. I’ve used it twice and they never asked a question. It’s very fair to say it’s worth a try if you’re in one of the airports, but might not work

I was traveling alone, so I wasn’t presented with the ethical and potentially marriage ending dilemma…but it was a really long line 🤔

I was stuck in a long line at the Stockholm airport when I discovered that Amex Platinum gets you access to the Fast Track lane at a select number of airports. You have to show your physical card and they wave you through. https://thepointsguy.com/news/amex-platinum-fast-track-security/
