I'm going to have to switch from just deodorant to antiperspirant when I wear it.

The best types of pants I have found are at stores like Uniqlo. They'll even tailor it to your exact height if you ask them.

it depends, basically the more sewing something has the harder it is to find something that isn't a million dollars or crap. t-shirts and socks are easy, pants and jackets are findable but you have to be careful and I can't find button ups or decent underwear walmart owns bonobos, you shouldn't be shocked by them getting slowly worse

Costco makes pretty good underwear imo, especially for the price.

I think filson got scooped up by PE and makes nothing any more? at least in the USA? or maybe they were just aggressively downsizing or union busting or something

My Filson shirt says made in USA but that doesn't mean Seattle AtomD posted:i've been wearing levis 541s. i think they're supposed to be for swole ppl, but i just wear them cause they're roomy and comfortable. I have a pair of 541s and they're comfortable. I have weird legs in that my thighs and butt are relatively large (I work out so in theory I'm the market for 541s) but my calves and feet are pretty small, so its hard finding pants that are slim and tapered enough to not make my calves look baggy but aren't tight up top
