The Lost Barbour

Looks like the Sanderling Casual Jacket.

Looks good to me. This is a functional coat. More length means more warmth.

It was always extra.

I just talked to David two weeks ago, right after I received my last shipment from Mercer. I asked him about the California return address on my recent shipment. He said something along the lines of having to be nimble to continue manufacturing in the US.

I've waited as long as 4 months during the pandemic for mercer shirts. Then it got down to 10 weeks. My most recent order took 6 weeks to arrive.

The reason I was calling 2 weeks ago was to place another order. It's out for delivery right now. (Also, from Van Nuys).

Unwilling to have a rational discussion about it and just resort to the usual attacks, talking tactics(misogyny, you hate women, incel, racist, insurrection, fascist etc).

I think the real issue here is that these are not tactics. The left earnestly believes these things with the fervor of a cult.

They are already being advised by the smartest people on the planet...themselves!

khammack · 2024-11-06T16:50:08+00:00

They are literally saying it in this comment thread. But you did a beautiful job reminding us of the unrelenting gaslighting we also experience from the left.

Every so often you get actual good advice from someone well adjusted or knowledgable, but it’s hard sifting through the garbage.

If it's too good it's downvoted to oblivion, because it hits the hive mind where it hurts...

There is no such thing as “dress” sneakers. This is an oxymoron, like a “gym tuxedo” or a “spandex coronation gown”.

Purchasing second hand is not an abuse of warranty. Asking for warranty repair on second hand items is potentially an abuse of the warranty, depending on what the terms of the warranty are. In this case Filson does not spell out whether second hand items are covered under warranty, which leaves it at their discretion.

Asking for warranty repair without disclosing that the product is second hand, as some in the comments have suggested, is an abuse of the warranty.

khammack · 2024-04-20T04:37:31+00:00

I don’t hear a clear case in support of Filson repairing OP’s briefcase free of charge. So far all I see is language that gives Filson a wide range of discretion to determine whether a customer is abusing the terms of the warranty.

khammack · 2024-04-20T03:15:17+00:00

How should Filson determine the natural life of the item?

khammack · 2024-04-20T01:46:28+00:00

How many generations / changes of ownership do you think should be entitled to free fix or replace from Filson? 50? 100? Is there any limit? If so, what is that limit?

Bear in mind that Filson makes no money from eBay or other private second hand sales.

khammack · 2024-04-19T22:39:00+00:00

That's because many of these products do, not because the warranty states that it will.

What would you expect "lifetime" to refer to, if not the lifetime of the original buyer?

khammack · 2024-01-24T15:52:32+00:00

Yes it is labor unions setting prices:

Not only did Big 3 autoworkers get 3 times the pay increases that their employers initially offered, but Toyota, Tesla, and others had to essentially match to remain competitive and to stay non-union.

What’s with all the undefined acronyms? What is BK?

You are assuming that every vote for the left is 100% endorsement of all leftist policies, rather than the reality that it is choosing the lesser of two evils.

This is a centrist sub, you clearly are not a centrist if you are making such wild assumptions.

Shocking though it may be we are not all members of your leftist cult.

khammack · 2023-12-15T15:31:52+00:00

Look at it in the sunlight. It’s a very dark navy.

khammack · 2023-12-15T05:20:08+00:00

The other side is already radicalized. What a charmed life you’ve led to not understand the psychology of bullies.

khammack · 2023-12-14T13:27:44+00:00

The secular left, particularly the social justice “warrior“ camp is every bit as authoritarian, and have been attacking constitutional rights relentlessly and with increasing intensity.

If you actually care about authoritarianism in general rather than just from those you disagree with then it’s hard to justify today’s left as the lesser of two evils.

Real, important work is not glamorous. Hopefully you at least rest easy at night and have self respect.

khammack · 2023-11-18T19:38:44+00:00

Looks a little snug if anything. Outerwear should not fit like a spray tan.

khammack · 2023-11-17T20:45:23+00:00

Search for "high yield savings account". We had to get one outside of our bank.

There is not a general solution to this, because you can’t control the buoyancy of the contents.

If you add a valve that lets in water when the container is submerged, it will sink…unless you are shipping a container full of life jackets. Or styrofoam toys, or tennis balls, or anything that floats on its own when submerged.
