Most leather is ethically sourced as a byproduct of harvesting meat, and as such is BIFL. It's just the animal's life.

Thanks for the heads up. FYI they had GREAT prime day deals, I'd expect the same for black Friday but of course, with the holiday window, you can buy now and save later by buying when it's cheaper and returning it for the more expensive price.
I save my ethics and morals for non-billion dollar companies, especially when it's simply returning a new item for them in the return window you could return the used one.

Thank you, that's one of my favorite features of my current mouse.

Yes!
I just switched my undies over briefs and boxer briefs (DAVID ARCHY) for summer and winter. I can't speak for BIFL (but IMO no undies are, or should be) I can say I spent ~$1500 finding the right pairs and tested every (or almost) product with bamboo and polyester. I can't stand cotton and polyester makes a fine brief (Reebok) but not boxer briefs. I needed something to protect my legs from the wind.
But hands down the David Archy is the softest most comfortable feeling underwear of the 23 brands and 3-5 variants of each brand, not including sizes.
Thank god for Amazon's return policy, they pretty much paid me $75 with their card to find out what I liked and what fit properly.
For sheets, I went the bargain route and went with Hotel Sheets Direct ($33) as soon as I touched them I knew I was done searching. I tested the Umchord brand but they felt horrible and never left the package. Bedsure was next on my list to try. Did yours shrink at all when you washed them? My sheets seemed to shrink but they replaced them without needing to send them back. They claim it fits a 16" mattress but I could get them to barely fit my 10" without my corner keepers. I simply washed in warm water like normal, nothing crazy and that's what the brand said I should have done.
I do want to buy shirts too but the ones I can find are $20-40 and not in my size. Not that i'd buy a $40 tee shirt.
I'm really picky with any purchase and insist on doing research but especially when it comes in contact with my skin.
Edit: I just picked up a set of bedsure to compare for $36. Thanks for your recommendation.

>Has an awesome track wheel that can free spin.
Can it toggle between free spin and umm bumpy/normal(?) I love that about my M705 but have been sorta looking at mice when I build a new computer. I've loved Logitech products for the last ~20 years except for their mechanical keyboards with the quick buttons on the left. I bought a Razor Blackwidow v3 because of this, and the feel of the keys. But Logitech is one of my favorite accessory manufacturers

My M705 is ~5 years old now with no issues. I love the feel of it.

If he eats at/near his computer that is the likely cause and is an inevitable fate for keyboards and mice. To my knowledge, there are no mice designed to be cleaned but a can of air can go a long way.
Edit: Cans of air make bad gifts,>! even if you make a joke about it not being the only thing that blow.!<

I am shocked I had to scroll this far down to find the only other bamboo fan, these guys are missing out. I'm swapping out all my cotton/polyester for bamboo where I can.

I mean, that could likely get me to start line drying personally. But it's all about preference, if it wasn't Reddit I'd be shocked over how bent out of shape people are on this.

Bamboo viscose is where I put my money, but sheets aren't BIFL. At least shouldn't be.

I'm 100% with you there, but even then electronics aren't BIFL. Personally, I'm waiting to see a BIFL dinner recommendation here.
This sub has gone downhill over the past few years.

Agreed, they should check out r/GoodValue no mattress is BIFL... Well unless you die on it, but even then it's a technicality.

Had 2 they're garbage. Far from BIFL

I get it these are current opinions but many of these companies haven't been around for 5 years, how the hell is the BIFL? r/GoodValue sure but BIFL? Are we lowering our standards?

Mine is 26 years old and sits like new. All parts are still available if I need to replace anything.
