Here’s just what I had in my office that I’ve used recently 😂
[Forgot to add image so reposting 😩]
My updated “quick run” EDC for when I’m running errands but don’t plan on being out the entire day. Just got the ALPAKA Elements Tech Case Mini during their 4th sale. I’ve had their Zip Pouch Pro for a while. Just switched from a Multiforce Multitool to this Roxon Phantom (mostly for the blade swap feature). Knife is a RoseCraft MOHOK. There’s other items in the Tech Case (power bank, small ouch pouch, cables, etc.) but these are the main items I’ll keep in here.
I don’t think I can justify any more bags…
First impressions are good. Lots of space, love the top pocket, water bottle pockets, and easy access to interior. Feels like a Evergoods CHZ and a Goruck had a baby. It also sits up by itself, but slouches a tad when 2⁄3 empty as you can see. Total winner here imo.
I couldn’t help but find a reproduction of the bag but I’m not sure about the crazy, pointy, ripping holes in my shirt, attachment hardware. Should I take a pair of pliers to them?
Just back from a one bag adventure and want to sing the praises of pencil cases. I bought a set of eight mesh pencil cases of various sizes from a major online retailer. They are available from many places. I use them to organize: tech supplies (such as cables), contact lenses, misc. toiletries, and camera doo dads (lens cleaners, sensor cleaners). They weigh next to nothing, you can see what’s in them, and, because each is relatively small, you can stuff them into empty spaces in your bag.
Heading out on RTW trip on Friday. Starting in West Africa, will spend extended time in East Africa, Nepal, SE Asia, and South America over the next 12-18 months. Looking for feedback on what I’m missing as well as what I can cut down on.
I do need the sleeping roll+mosquito net for at least first month of my journey but going to pickup sheets/blanket on arrival. Will also pickup cheap shower shoes on arrival as well. I will be keeping the running shoes as running is my preferred form of exercise and they’ll fall apart if I put miles in them all year and make them my daily wearer, but could be convinced otherwise. I figure the hoodie+rain jacket traps enough heat until I need to buy a heavier coat, but don’t want to carry that around longer than necessary.
I know this is technically 2 bags, the day back was the backpack I already had and I don’t want to buy one if I already have a perfectly good bag. I plan on using the dry bag for doing laundry/dirty clothes.
Thanks in advance, …
Went on holiday with family, which was lovely but the queueing to check in luggage and the wait to collect the luggage made me appreciate the ease of one bag travel.
When I went to Cologne last September, as I’d checked in online, I simply arrived at the airport, sailed through security then enjoyed a relaxing couple of pints before heading to the gate. Then on landing it was quickly through passport control and that was me done. Takes so much stress out of the experience!
hey everyone! i’m here with a review of the acrispcotton longline, which are dropping tomorrow as part of a larger collection by willie. they were provided to me by outlier for an honest review.

about me
you might have seen the previous review i did of nylistic linears, but if not, i’m a long-time outlier fan that was introduced to the brand way back when they made women’s pants. despite that no longer being the case, i’ve figured out sizing and measurements enough that i have a very good sense of what pieces i can make work for my body. my favorite outlier pieces are bomb 107’s (now fatigues), injex paragliders, 5-5’s, bombpaints, and dreamweight t’s. my style is described as being fairly “androgynous” by typical gender norms, although that’s not really intentional and my focus is just wearing things that make me happy.
the shirt!
#Intro
Hi, my name is Cata. I’ve been a large fan of Outlier for the past 4 years or so and they sent me an acrispcotton longline, part of the Willie Norris for Outlier 2023 Capsule, to review. I’ve had the longline for about a month now and have worn it somewhere between 5 and 7 times in that time, here are my honest thoughts on it.
#Sizing
I’m 6’2 (188 cm) and 165-170 lb (75-77 kg). I have a 31 inch (79 cm) waist and 41 inch (104 cm) chest. I normally wear large in all my Outlier tops and this shirt is no exception.
The cut is intentionally oversized, with dropped shoulders and a wide bottom hem. You can likely size down to get a trimmer fit but the fabric doesn’t have much give in it so I imagine it could become uncomfortable. I probably could’ve gone to a medium on this but prefer the width of the shoulders and the length on the large.
#Fabric
In a single word, the fabric can be described as luxe. Before washing, it had the rigid, tight handfeel of bedsheets at a …
So after about six months my dungarees have started sprouting white elastane fibres from their surface. It looks like my pants are covered in lint or animal hair, but in fact it is the elastane content from the textile sticking out. It seems to be happening around the top of the thigh area and fly area the most, but it is present on most parts of the pants. The fibres cannot be brushed off. Has anyone seen this before?
