"It’s like that aphorism you hear in filmmaking circles, “Good, Fast, Cheap - pick two of three"." For employees it's "Competent, Reliable, Pleasant". I'll let you decide which of those I'm not! (And for prospective romantic partners the saying is "Hot, Sane, Single". Again, I'll let you decide.)

Polyester is indestructible. I've been wearing the same 100% polyester football top to Partick Thistle matches for over thirty years. Other than a couple of holes caused by sparks from a campfire, it's as new. It's one of the reasons there was such a huge market for 90s football shirts during and after covid (I saw mine on sale for £200) - they last forever and nobody throws away a football shirt.

Ordering more merino (my t-shirts are fine, but socks and underwear don't last as long) is actually on my list of things to do this week. I've heard good things about bamboo though. Any thoughts?

“Owning less creates more space in my life.” 💯💯💯💯 thank you for this super educational post, Michael!!! I’m curious if there are any merino wool brands you’d recommend? specifically ones you can purchase from online in north america? 😅 would love to start building a proper capsule wardrobe before I jet set off again!
