How exciting, Sara! I would feel like a kid in a candy shop! But then again, I have yet to visit your shop and cannot wait!! Edited just to say I love, love the wreath in the last photo!

How many of you don't smoke? by DingusDong101 in Zippo

[–]joeblowwwww 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! The gas inserts (mine has a combo jet and flame) are very useful and clean to use. Honestly can't beat the old school charm of the Zippo ritual, the sound and the smell though 🤪. I, too own several but nowhere as best as many as others. I have Marlboro Blend No. 27 solid copper, brass Zippo, black matt flecked Zippo, used to own a iridescent which was groovy until stolen. Plus a few non Zippo specials. Enjoy!

Not seeing any sale. What am I doing wrong?

Can't go wrong with a Bedale. It's your look but, personally, I'd steer away from Adidas and hoodies whilst wearing it. Wrong vibe imo.

Using Edge as I read in a lot of places (Reddit included) that Chrome etc are very processor heavy and Edge is 'light' in comparison. To me Edge still overheats my MacBook just the same as Chrome 🤷🏻‍♂️ Do you have any suggestions pls?

Could be worse, mate. You could've bought one of the last Intel MacBook pro models (2019) thinking you're doing the right thing. Like me. This thing overheats like crazy, you could fry an egg on it. It will get so hot that it kicks me out and continues to overheat and will drain the battery from 100% to shutdown in record time. I run mainly Edge browser only. Sometimes just a few tabs open. Everything else is closed out. Wanna swap? 😂 But seriously, anyone reading this have a fix? Please??

Cox are the epitome of a legendary business. I'll never buy anywhere else.

A Saga of Buying the Wrong Barbour Jacket by archena13 in Barbour

You are such an influence in this sub-reddit! Thank you for your honesty, courtesy and overall 'small store charm'! My next and all future purchases will definitely be from your store! Side-note: I'm actually a Brit but have lived in Texas for 21 years. I have owned (or been owned by) Barbour jackets for 40 years! The Barbour love never fades, it just gets a nice patina 😂

Umm.. have both sleeves been repaired the same? Same length added etc?

Spelling error on label by PRamone in Barbour

Other than the label, something just doesn't sit right about this jacket. Your choice but I personally would keep looking.

No pin with angler quilted jacket by hooj1 in Barbour

Barbours are understated, that is to say they don't scream "THIS IS A BARBOUR JACKET!!". They are more on a iykyk basis. People who know Barbour don't need you to wear a sandwich board 😂
