This is the Rehose Buddy 22l (https://rehose.eu/products/buddy-durable-edc-backpack). Rehose is a one man shop based out of Czech Republic, and the Buddy is a built to order 22L panel loader. His quality and attention to detail is exceptional, this pack is truly a work of art as much as it is a carry piece. I’m very much looking forward to using the Buddy more as I just received it yesterday, but first impressions are insanely good. There are also 4 more packs in the pipeline for me, 2 more custom bags from ChuyenTactical, and 2 other cool bags I’ve been excited to try.
I find myself in the market for a new travel pouch. The one I have honestly rocks and it cost me $9 on amazon. But I picked up one of the new Anker multi port chargers to declutter a bit and this bad boy is thick. It makes for a huge lump in the case I have, basically to the point where the zipper doesn’t close. Looking for a tech pouch that’s got a good combination of cable organization and pockets. Minimum packing list in the pic for reference. Thanks!

What’s The Little Black Dress of shoes? You know the pair that you can run in and then take to a business casual event?
By now I’ve cycled through many pairs of the Ultraboost 19s, as suggested on this sub years ago. However they’re out of stock everywhere and i have a hard time accepting change. However, the knife has hit the bone now. Help
What is the new Little Black Shoe?
I’ll be traveling to Japan in two days and this will be my first time trying to do a one bag trip so I’ll be taking your recommendations seriously. The plan is to go from Tokyo to Hiroshima (spending some days in Kyoto and Osaka), visiting mostly temples, I think, and then some tours within the cities. From what I’ve read online Japan usually is 23-13 Celsius during October that’s why I’ve packed some warmer clothes.
Wearing - jeans - green hoodie (the heaviest item in the list, thinking it may be better to change it for a Columbia jacket since it’s lighter and warmer) - vans
Clothes - 6x t-shirts (thinking of changing one for a polo) - 6x boxers - 6x socks - 2x shorts (one sporty and one more dressy) - 1x chino trousers - 1x grey hoodie (really light for 15-18 degrees) - 1x sweater - Nike running shoes
Electronics - Kindle Paperwhite - 20k power bank
Toiletries - the usual stuff
Bags - 32 liters backpack - 32 liters duffel bag packable

You’re in a big city, you have to take some transit to get where you’re going to be exploring, what do you bring with you?

Outlier reached out to me via discord to see if I would like to test their new Strongtwill Highdarts in Dust Olive. This is an updated Highdart cut with more room through the whole pant, most notable through the thighs and calves.
I only recieved this pair a day before release so these are all initial thoughts from one full day and evening outing of wearing.
[First time reviewing so have just added Images and not sure where they will show up in the post. I will try to add captions to each Image]
Strongtwill here is soft to the touch with some nice stretch. I think colour will play a part here, it feels very similar if a little softer than my Strong Dungarees in Dark Olive. However compared to my Strongdarts in Black I find the fabric is both a lot softer and more stretchy as I find black to have the least give and be the roughest of the strongtwills I own. Minor note - I managed to spill …

I’ve been following Abe & Co. for a while now and it’s been fun to see the brand evolve creatively (cycling pants to IDEAS runway pipeline). Wide is in at the moment with many roomy top block options and the Highdarts are a great example. Thunder thigh owners rejoice.
Outlier was kind enough to offer me this iteration of Highdarts for wear testing (with no expectations set) and this review is my honest take.
This is my first pair of pants in Strongtwill. That said, my brain wants to compare these to other Highdart and non Highdart options.
These feel like:
Hello all, I am bored yet again and wanted to dump some thoughts on pieces I’ve picked up and/or briefly tried since the last time I was this bored:
​
Warmform Merino Ski: This is a recent pickup from the past week and I really like the design of it. The past few releases using Warmform weren’t really interesting to me since the Hard/co equivalents felt more compelling to buy. The sweeping lines and contrast panelling add a fun visual appearance that makes it fun to wear. I can’t wait for the cold weather and wearing this more. I tried both the Blacktannic and Grayzoneblack versions and am finding myself gravitating towards the latter since it feels more visually distinct compared to Blacktannic which I feel the tannic kind of clashes with my skin tone on the mock neck. Also, I noticed for some reason the Blacktannic is shorter in the sleeves by about 1” and in the body by 0.5”. Not sure if that’s a QC variance or a byproduct of the …

The Hard/Co Merino Seveneighths is a new addition to Outlier’s lineup of Hard/Co layers. A durable and fashionable sweatshirt, the 7/8ths is constructed with elegant details and clever paneling. However, the signature style of this piece won’t enjoy universal appeal. The truncated zipper, a primary design feature of this garment, will discourage some consumers. And the collar, when fully zipped, provides excellent insulation for the neck and throat at the cost of looks. Ultimately this sweatshirt is a fantastic piece for fashionable layering and everyday wear, and I recommend it if it’s in your budget.
The indivisible zipper is a point of contention for …
#Intro
Hi, my name is Cata. Recently, Outlier sent me a Hard/co Merino Seveneighths to review. I’ve had the pleasure of wearing it for the past week or so, and here are my thoughts on it and how I’ve been styling it in outfits.
#Form and Sizing
I’m 6’2 (188 cm) and 170 lb (75-77 kg). I have a 30 inch (79 cm) waist and 41 inch (104 cm) chest. I normally wear large in all my Outlier tops and layers, including the seveneighths.
The cut is boxy and slightly cropped, with longer sleeves than body and ample room in the shoulders due to a unique sleeve design, which I will touch on later. The bottom of the jacket is circumscribed entirely by a thick elastic hem. This elastic band is quite loose fitting, allowing seveneighths to sit comfortably without creating any outpouching around the midsection. I’d like to see this trend continued on other gaments, especially cropped garments, because I think it allows for easier wear and a better overall aesthetic. Due to the …
Are these the production version of the ravers from the latest willie collection?
Any idea when they will go on sale?
