We all have different ideas. Excelled offered 2 versions of the jacket. Made in USA used number sizing. Made in Pakistan was S, M, L, etc. Made in Pakistan did not have a single piece back. Made in Pakistan also has a synthetic insulation filling which makes it warmer. I have both...

I haven't needed anything in many years. I could easily live the rest of my life without buying shoes again. I buy because I'm a consumer. I'm fortunate to have the first world luxury of not needing shoes. A company gives a product away, in exchange for a review. A company pays somebody...

In restaurants, they trim the meat. Square it up. Make it look pretty. This creates a byproduct. Food waste. I don't waste food. It becomes Chinese food. Add it to veggies for a prime rib stir fry.

When you're experimenting with food, Irish American food becomes Chinese American food. Even if it has Korean American kimchi. And I am officially declaring that instant noodles are an American food.

It's known that "Chinese Food" in The USA, is nothing like what Chinese people eat in China. We just make it up as we go along. Sometimes it's not bad. It's all an experiment. This is my Chinese food experiment with a rib roast. I debone the roast, then tie it back together. Instead of a...

They are selling direct to consumer. Not distributed to any retail outlets. So you can't go to a store to try them on, or handle them in person. Their marketing schematic is to use online influencers.

It is confirmed. It's not a real moccasin. It's a moc-toe construction. A true moccasin is 1 solid piece of leather, wrapping up over the foot. Jim Green stitches several pieces of leather together, then wraps the toe up, and has a big hole in the middle. In all fairness, Red Wing &...

Allen Edmonds Park City. Factory seconds. Not the best shoes. But good. Supposedly weatherproof. Although I haven't tested that by wearing it in the rain. Soft leather lining. Good wedge sole. Decent for walking around in The City. A grocery getter.

Leftover meatloaf, kimchee, and egg.

Chinese food is an experiment. Just about any vegetable can be stir fried, and I call it Chinese food. Chinese food of the day is eggplant & peppers, and meatloaf. A foot long meatloaf.

Roast pork. Potato. Noodles. It was what I had. The experiment was putting it all together. Sometimes you eat hash browns for dinner.

Most people are satisfied with Red Wing shoes. They can do quite a bit. But the soles are not for hiking.

I don't think that the soles are for hiking. The mini lug soles would not get enough traction for off-road use. It's more of a "city boot". It is a good boot. A cobbler will be able to install a full lug sole for hiking. Buying a $350 boot, then spending another $150 to install a full lug...

I could be mistaken. In my mind, a "true moccasin" was a piece of leather under the foot, that wrapped up over the foot, which is then sewn to the rest of the shoe. In my mind, it's actually a solid, single piece of leather. It looks like Jim Green is doing something similar, but...
