I got my new carry-on spinner and duffel. Did research, went with Monos in spite of the price tag. Haven’t used it yet, but love how it fits together! And that it matches my dog.
Here’s mine! As an artist and designer who had become spoiled with a massive monitor in my home office, I thought I could never do my work with only a laptop screen. So when I started traveling the world, I bought and brought the 12.9 inch iPad Pro to use as a second monitor. I learned quickly that not only will most coffeeshop tables not accommodate both a laptop and an external display side by side, but I also felt so self conscious and dorky every time I busted it out. I used it maybe twice before eventually selling it in Berlin, and I was extremely relieved to lighten my load by 2 lbs, and also have one less expensive item to worry about!
Not as impressive as most posts here but I somehow convinced the wife we didn’t need checked baggage.
I love this – what an inspiration! Age 89, and he’s been a nomad for THIRTY years. The article doesn’t talk in detail about his gear, but his pack normally weighs 5 kg and he has just one change of clothes. . https://www.timetravelturtle.com/worlds-oldest-backpacker/

First off, I’m so grateful to have gotten nominated to review a piece. Thank you to the discord homies and Outlier for being dope enough to give fans a chance to review upcoming drops. I got the pants last Friday – just in time for a weekend trip to a hot springs resort.
Background: I heard a term on the Outlier discord earlier this year that I’d seen before, but had forgotten: Hygge, which means cozy, warm, and inviting. I want my clothes to embody hygge – especially in the winter. Outlier helps me achieve this. My recent favorites include Bombdeux, Acottonflannel Warmshirt (probably the coziest piece I own), and the Hard/co Console Hoodie (which I wear almost every day). And I have to say, the Fuzzy/co merino sweats are Hygge as fuck.
Materials & Features:
A shank front jacket in the tough-as-fuck but secretly soft Bombtwill fabric. Hundreds of superfine air texturized nylon 6.6 fibers are twisted into each yarn to create a fabric that is counter-intuitively rugged yet supple. Simple matte black stainless shanks finish off a classic jacket shape, but mostly this stuff has that forget-about-it combination of easy wear and lasting durability.
Experiment 364 - Fuzzy/co Merino Sweats
A gentle, soft and fuzzy experiment. A sweatpant made from an experimental new softer, lighter and fluffier version of our Hard/co Merino. Put these on and never go outside again.
A few weeks ago, I posted a review of Experiment 356, the Acottonflannel Boxford, which I received from Outlier to test and review (see the earlier review with plenty of different fits here). At the time, there was a lot of discussion on the Discord about flannels in general, and one of the main questions was how the Acottonflannel (ACF) fit into a pretty saturated market including high-end heavyweight Japanese flannels (Iron Heart, Naked and Famous, The Flat Head, etc.) as well as mid-priced options such as Portuguese Flannel and Patagonia. At the time, I didn’t have good answers, so I set out to do some comparative research. I’m posting here to share my findings.
First, though, an update on the ACF. I recently washed and dried it according to the care instructions and thought I’d share some before & after fits. As you can see below, there was non-trivial shrinkage. (Note that while there seems to be a color difference in some of these before & after shots, …
Hi,
I just got in some shirts in Dreamweight and Daybreak, as well as pants in F. Cloth in black and I’m noticing there’s pretty significant variability in the tones of the fabric. The Daybreak is a cool black with a blue tinge, the other two are warm blacks. My old (few years now) UFT and ramie shirts are also a warm black, and I have a Veilance Frame shirt that is similar in tone to the Daybreak.
I’m wondering a few things based on these observations:
1) Can anyone confirm what I’ve noticed above? 2) Does anyone know if blacks in other fabrics are warmer or cooler? I’m particularly interested in Sportweight and Bombtwill. 3) Do the tones change over time? Ramielust fades pretty noticeably pretty quickly, but doesn’t change to a “cool” black.
Bombpaints purchased in 2020 have worn in well across 7 countries from beach to jungle to desert and recently filled in as a snow pant when a seam failed on my ski pants. Love the sound of that fabric crinkling. Not recommended for bird watching.
I’d jump at the prospect of a Bombdart experiment with a bit more leg opening at the ankle for air flow.
Colors requested: Deep Prussian Blue, Faded Charcoal, Sage/Fatigue Green, Deep Eggplant, Terracotta, maybe a CopperyMocha color that looks good with dirt on it…
