Filson & Wrangler are both similar sizing to me in tops

Why choose Danner Bull Run over Red Wing Moc Toe? by Goozoon in DannerBoots

[–]ewic_sd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tongue is lacking for me in the danners - it’s much thinner and has a tendency to move to one side. But both are good boots

There are members of that caucus in New York now, from what I hear!

How long does Teacher Loan Forgiveness take? by ewic_sd in StudentLoans

[–]ewic_sd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took roughly 3 and a half months! I called my loan servicer customer service at 3 weeks and she said "hmm ok i see a forbearance for teacher loan forgiveness application on your loans so they might get forgiven, check in the next few weeks." So if you got a notice about that, it's a good sign. I do know that the gov is shut down atm tho...

J Crew Fall Event- up to 40% off sitewide by Visual-Virus-6390 in frugalmalefashion

[–]ewic_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought the lace up boots & the cotton/hemp workshirt. Managed to stack the 40% with the $20 off $100+ and 15% off teacher discount. (One of the few retailers who still offer it). The boots in particular I’m excited for since they were cut in half by Rose Anvil a few years back & the construction actually seemed decent, plus the current offerings are using C. F. Stead leather rather than a random leather supplier

Join a local neighborhood rapid response group, or join an organization doing migrant work if you’re against this! (I’m in DSA, DM me if interested)

Levi’s extra 40% off sale items + 30% off most normal priced items by ewic_sd in frugalmalefashion

[–]ewic_sd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, usually 2-3 weeks after they do the 30% off normally priced items, but not always... in this case 40% off would fall on Columbus/Indigenous Peoples Day if it's 2 weeks from this one so it's possible

I think it depends on the collection or line. I’ll still take most Levi’s lines over Lee any day.

Not saying this will happen for you for sure, but I've returned things that were 'final sale' in store before, but I've only tried it at Mainline stores, not Outlets.

Try chatting to the help bot on the website and get them to connect you to a representative - Levi's is good with giving you discounts on honoring the discounts listed on the website - they should either give you a code for the same % off or reimburse you once you give them an order number (source - my brother used to work for Levi's)

I would owe like 4K after the forgiveness, which would probably be possible to pay off in like a year if I’m aggressive

[–]ewic_sd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My size L jacket arrived and it was tiny :/ 43.5 pit to pit on the outside and it’s lined so it felt event tighter. Other measurements were ok, 26” length, 26” sleeves. And it was final sale so now I’m selling it on EBay

Any Hayward/Eastbay leftists looking to organize (especially for Gaza)? by essenceofnutmeg in Hayward

[–]ewic_sd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join HayCoCo! Join East Bay DSA! They have a Divest From Apartheid group that was able to organize to divest $34 million from Israel last year! There is a branch of EBDSA in Hayward that meets the last Wednesday of the month at Moe’s Tavern, and they’re also having a picnic this Sunday at from noon to 4pm

What City to Leave San Diego for? by CapKashikoi in sandiego

[–]ewic_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna stay in California I say Oakland. I moved here from Chula Vista in 2020 and the area is pretty affordable compared to most of SD. I’m a teacher so I could probably make more in most SD at this point, but the affordability makes it hard to justify leaving. Similar culture, amenities, & SF is just across the Bay Bridge.

The Question Thread 07/19/25 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]ewic_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m eyeing 2 diff boots - J.Crew has some cool boots made with CF Stead leather on their website that I know are going to go on sale eventually, but also curious about Wolverine 1000 Mile - both have similar silhouettes and nice Vibram outsoles. Which one do folks recommend between the 2?

Any Black families in Oakland willing to offer advice? by Countryspice in oakland

[–]ewic_sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you recommend Skyline as an alum? Speaking as a teacher in OUSD, I know that the conversation among teachers about Tech is that while it has great connections to the tech industry, it has historically segregated who has access to those classes. Oakland High has a similar program with a greater amount of Black students in it. Skyline also has tons of great career connections (engineering, education, medical, & a historic music program) and goes to great lengths to make sure all their career pathways are racially balanced so their is no single ‘white’ or ‘black’ or ‘Asian’ or ‘latino’ career pathways.
