REVIEW – The Brunt Polo Shirt is a lightweight short sleeve shirt made of a breathable synthetic material that was comfortable through long days of varied activities. It has no gator and no swoosh but so what? It’s just a great shirt. I wore it to restaurants, tutoring, meetings, shopping and errands. It looks good […]

REVIEW – I’m a 61-year-old woman (how the heck did that happen?!) who likes to wear cargo pants. That probably makes me weird, and I don’t care because more pockets solve all life’s problems. But I also don’t want to look like I’m on safari when I run to Walmart for some Diet Coke, so

REVIEW – I used to have a job that required a dress shirt and a suit every day. Well, I still have that same job, but since going fully remote, I don’t have to dress up in a monkey suit anymore. So, ironing shirts and pants is not something I have had to do in

REVIEW – The Brunt Scott Jacket is pretty tough. It will bear the brunt of your career or casual pursuits. Wind nor water can get through it. Even though it’s waist length, it performed well in my winter temps. I think the Scott jacket style would be right for chores around your property, as weekend

REVIEW – For this year’s Father’s Day recommendation post I had the opportunity to review a set of Brunt Marin Soft Toe boots and they were fantastic. Brunt came back and opened up another opportunity to review some of their products and I really liked the look of their McKenna hoodies. I’ve been gradually expanding

REVIEW – I hate ironing, but every weekend I iron my clothes for work. Many years ago, I used a traditional iron until I decided to look for an easier for what is a tedious task for me, and I have been using a Steamer ever since. I started with a large floor-standing Steamer but

REVIEW – I am quickly becoming quite the connoisseur of heated garments and loving it.  Check out my reviews of the iHood heated vest and the UZE heated jacket.  With hockey rinks being our second home and living in the Midwest in the winter, there are always opportunities to need to be a little warmer. 

REVIEW – I have been blessed with thin bony feet that get cold very easily in the wintertime. Keeping them warm even in shoes is tough, but while I’ve tried hand warmers, I’ve never tried heated socks to keep them toasty. As it’s winter time and my feet are once again icicles, the inliCare heated

REVIEW – If you raised an eyebrow at the title, don’t worry because I did too. When I got an email asking if I’d try out some worn socks, I had to ask if they were serious. Why would I try out used socks? Well, the brand name of the company is Worn, and they

REVIEW – Cargo pants have been derided as inappropriate for most settings, but they have a certain utility that appeals to those of us in the geekier, carry-a-lot-of-stuff professions. Enter tactical pants. A riff on the military Basic Daily Uniform (BDU) with a little more flexibility in fabric, patterns, and pocket layouts. I’ve used them

REVIEW – I have been a snow skier for many years, and I have been through a bunch of ski gear.  I have also had my share of spills and tumbles down the mountain, and I can tell you firsthand that if you have cheap gear that doesn’t keep you warm, you will be miserable,

REVIEW – Living in Michigan, I love the wintertime, but I hate being cold. So when it comes to winter jackets, I am always looking for the warmest thing I can find. I recently received a heated-down jacket from ORORO. I reviewed a heated vest (from another company) last year and loved it. In fact,
