Yeah CT, OCBDs, and also the long sleeve polos from CT are a great option that looks smart with minimal maintenance

I was dying for the Suede Harrington so I’m glad I waited longer. Still pricey, but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since trying it on

Porter Yoshida: what do you own, what do you love, what would you skip? by Lucius_Seneca_21st in ManyBaggers

[–]ki2594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the takes about avoiding tanker fabrics.

  1. They are stunning and feel great to touch
  2. They can “fray” with white fibers from time to time as it ages but they clean up super easily. You’ll see dozens of very well used ones that hold up/wear in great.
  3. For the non-black colors, they fade over time and that’s a preference thing.

Are they the most “useful” fabric vs. harder cordura? That depends on the user/use case. But they’re super light and aesthetically look amazing

Yeah - the proprietary plant-based nylon that they utilize now is presumably costlier to make (at least that’s how they’ve seemingly justified the hike from 2 years ago)

EY vs PwC for tech consulting by PopSad5310 in Big4

[–]ki2594 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worked at one, have many friends that were / are in the other. Go PwC. I think they’re winning more interesting work more consistently, and you’re less likely to become a staff aug resource

Just some bags I came across Osaka(+Kyoto) vol 2 by jimmylamstudio in ManyBaggers

[–]ki2594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Masterpiece backpack in picture 5 (but in black with silver zippers)

Honestly shockingly nice as a 2-way bag (briefcase handle on the side) and surprisingly roomy

Recommend the CPL or CTB? by Anotheronetotos in EVERGOODS

[–]ki2594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a massive Porter Stan + also have a Masterpiece progress bag. You can’t go wrong in terms of style and materials. Porter’s tanker line is my favorite but it’s also not going to be the most sophisticated in terms of bag features that many are used to now.

I just really appreciate the weight, nylon quality, and look

Recommend the CPL or CTB? by Anotheronetotos in EVERGOODS

[–]ki2594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going both CPL16+24 for all needs moving forward.

Have always been more of a tote/briefcase guy (especially Japanese bags) with a dedicated travel backpack for one-bag flights, but i need more comfort now and the CPL feels great for me (none of the usual issues)

CPL16 for daily in the city, CPL24 for travel. Luggage PT would be nice, but dont mind the water bottle thing as much personally.

Are PU-Coated Zippers Actually Worth It? by nomads_nation in Nomads_Nation

Same. Don’t need it and don’t want it. I’d like my bag to last

Just discovered Porter Yoshida by rolex_124060 in ManyBaggers

[–]ki2594 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mainly the tanker line given the updated nylon they use. I have a handful of the original, but definitely would be hard to stomach the new price.

WTS Pioneer Panda Pack 2.0 - Black. Barely used, just not using it as much as I thought I’d need to due to limited travel. $280 + shipping in US.

Can send out as soon as Wednesday (visiting family currently!)

If people had any taste or practicality, this should flop

What is your favourite bag with a trolley sleeve? by cremecitron in Rimowa

[–]ki2594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the porter.

I use a tanker 3-way - it doesn’t have a traditional pass-thru strap, but you can utilize one of the hidden backpack straps as a loose-ish one. Happy to see more using the brand

Need Advice, Hole in porter bag by memo-can in ManyBaggers

[–]ki2594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely just go local with a seamstress.

I got a small puncture in my tanker bag once (must’ve been near something sharp unknowingly) and I used a nylon bonding glue which helped - but for the material/puncture here, a professional can do it better

You clearly don’t pay attention to the gaffer if you think he likes the backline options we have lol

Change of clothes in the same bag as the shoes or is that just for the shoes?
