BTW, https://www.graeclothing.com/ in Omaha is having a clearance sale, and they carry the Dehen line. There may be a deal there.

I didn't know exactly where to put this, but it's a sale on scissors that are hard to beat. Shozaburo Scissors sale

Re: Things that are made better than they have to be
Ok, not clothing or wardrobe (depending on your needs for music in your closet)
but the set of KEF reference 101's in the bike shop turn out to smoke any speaker under 100lb I have ever messed with. Just truly transcendent resolution down into the mid bass. Not a perfect shop speaker (the sweet spot is too small), nor the most-efficient speaker, but these are tiny widgets producing a delicate and highly articulated soundstage. They are also thirty years+ old and just lovely.
Best Regards,

yup, I can have hot coffee the next morning if I am running out early, thanks to this exact bottle.

Re: Things that are made better than they have to be
I've been using those for a while though I don't love the cleaning of the nipple etc. but it is a great product. I sold them at a shop and the rep used to tell a story about the sales guys in Japan trying to bring on customers who were non-believers. They would Fedex hot coffee in them from Japan to the USA. :-)
Hot coffee overnight.

Nuts right? I've never seen anything like it. The only issue is convincing the local coffee shop not to charge me for a giant coffee.

Helly Hansen outerwear gets my vote. Super durable, smart alternatives to the name brands for such things as shell pants for skiing.
White's boots.
Maratac watch bands. They're just watch bands, but somehow they feel and look and work so well they make me even happier to put my watch on.

Really the Thermos is the greatest invention of all time- it keeps the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold.....
How does it know?
Amazing!

Most people (myself included) hardly even scratch the surface of what Excel is capable of.
Google Sheets is a great alternative, and you can access the files from anything with an internet connection.

Powerful, yes, well made? No. Microsoft is not in the business of making good software. Their products are buggy, cumbersome and cross compatibility in office is terrible by software industry standards.

Re: Things that are made better than they have to be
I've been wearing this belt pretty much daily for...I'm not sure now, 8 years maybe? A good friend's little brother made it for me. I love this thing, it's a solid piece of full grain leather. No stitches to fail. It's patina'd nicely over the years. I wore the finish off the buckle though, so I just put a titanium buckle on in it's place. It should really last forever now.

Time to water the thread again, this time with super-handmade-Japanese-goodness. The Japanese version of the website has most of the interesting photos.
