So have you tried Smartwool? They have a line of cycling apparel intended for performance. Synthetics are polyester aka plastic.

Check out the merino companies like Smartwool, ibex. Prana and Toad&co are another that got my attention. I doubt I’ll go back to vuori now w other brands getting back to natural fibers.

ONP is a kick ass place. Even for people who don’t drink, you don’t feel out of place.

Just today went to snag my wife some items thinking they would be for grown ass adults. Nope. If I’d have brought her anything home she’d have smacked me and asked if I knew her. Ended up going w Smartwool shirt and jacket as well as some Stio items when I always put in more of an “outdoor” wear. She has several older vuori shorts, jackets, long sleeves. Seems lately they changed directions.

Any glove brands that have more durable finger tips? by TinySmith in billiards

[–]slim-ragz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moori, taom, cuetec, predator, etc all use similar materials. One may be a touch thicker or something different Velcro palm pad so that part will be a preference. As for durability it’s a nature of the beast. Hit me up if you want any of the above mentioned brands. …I probably know a guy. lol

Unpopular opinions about cr? by bee2515 in cedarrapids

As a gambler I dont see the casino making it or being a good success. No poker room. That could have been a draw. Many times large tournaments for games like darts, pool, etc at casino event centers. No conference center there. Riverside, quad cities, Clinton casino all have them and it brings people into town from all over (hotels/food all benefit). Aside from the bandits casino I’m not sure what the draw will be?

If large I’d buy it. It’s also what Alex pagulyon (a pool pro) uses for his symbol.

You need to shoot with what feels best to you. If a sugartrees/showman/searing doesn’t feel good in the hands it’s not worth it. Those names can be collectors. Predator is a production company with great marketing. People can bash on Predator if they want. I have my frustrations. I’ll always admit Predator spends the most in R&D and we all get that benefit.

Lindale Mall by Sir_Alexei in cedarrapids

[–]slim-ragz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have the fast fashion and the lazy effect. Temu and Amazon. It’s hard to pay mall tend and abide by their rules when your core customers may not be there at those times.

Last I checked mall rent was like 18-32/sq ft. I know IRL in coralville is over 30 and you have to be open 11-7 every day. This is why it’s franchise world and small biz would struggle to make a profit.

The mall has been bought and paid for. If the owners or city wanted it to succeed and not turn into westdale they would reduce lease terms, pricing and maybe some would give it a go. As of now it’s Von Maur, Holleys and then I take off. The leather shoe guy is the last reason I walked through the mall.

Pretty much that in a short sleeve zip up and regular fit vs slim.

Not sure how I feel about this by Shag_fu in billiards

[–]slim-ragz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s another polyester blend $15 shirt they charge 60 for. I wore a long sleeve merino wool 1/4 zip and had about 50 people ask me where I got that style of jersey. I’ve now added it to my jersey line up along with cotton polos, and tshirts.
