Reply to Just bought my first pair of leather winter mittens, how do I care for them to make them last a lifetime? by FerretFiend

I'd get some Obenauf's Leather oil....and treat them. It will turn them dark...but that stuff really works.

I have some military issue gloves....I think they were $12 new on ebay a couple years ago. Lambskin--equal or better quality than $75 department store gloves.

Reply to BIFL home appliances by Ok-Nose-5889

I really like LG. Similar in quality or better, than Bosch, imho. They are just garden variety appliances--but I've had them for years without problems. There may be some super-high-quality (SUPER expensive) appliances out there....but other than commercial grade--I don't know what they are. (I wonder what kind of washer/dryer (the maids of) Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos uses?)
