Glies are similar to what they were 20 years ago it's just that people are cheap SOBs now and can't imagine repairing something vs throwing it away

Possibly a manufacturing error
Let them take care of you but if it happens again I'd suggest going to a different brand

I think so.
My grandmother got a handmade rug from Morocco in the 1970s and paid..... $50 or so back then. It literally showed up in the mail a month after she ordered it in person at market
It's still going strong

Amusingly all those places were founded by Indian and Asian immigrants to cater to the gigantic guest worker population.

It's a tourist trap like Vegas with adultery laws and prohibition on public drinking
Fine for a visit, I wouldn't want to live there

Amusingly the Bahraini government and elite lives at the mercy of Saudi and the USA as they Sunni monarchy is hated by the Shiite commoners.
Oman is a slightly more friendly place, more chill.
Most of the gulf states are trying to become gross tourist traps like Vegas tbh and it's really sad.
My Jordanian internet guy went on a massive rant about how fake and corrupt the Gulf Arabs are and said if you want the REAL ME go to Jordan or maybe Lebanon.
Rant over 😜

The Higgins Mill is currently on sale.
Get the one in Brown CXL (also called Chromexcel)
Parkhust is another great choice as are Oak Street Bootmakers
