Does anyone know what’s going on with DTC?

They changed these awesome casual work clothes (women’s heirloom overall shorts 10” inseam) that were perfect for me as an artist.

I could get paint on them, or accidentally cut part then stitch it back up, and no one could see anything wrong with them despite the fact that I’ve been wearing them for a while. I am actually still getting compliments on them everywhere I go. More importantly, I could drop an entire book in one of my two large lower thigh pockets, a phone in the back pocket, shove my wallet in a front pocket, keys in the other front pocket, hang a pair of heavy duty shears on the hammer loop, and walk off to address an emergency then go back to work and easily find all my stuff.

The thigh pockets are all gone along with the 3 inches in length, and the hammer loop has been replaced with a light duty carabiner clip. The back pocket… I don’t even know where to begin with the back pocket.

I guess whomever designed these new back pockets is not aware of how back pockets work? To reach a back pocket, it is more comfortable to swivel your shoulder but now, because that pocket is a slanted slit design… they expect you to reach into them the same way you reach into front pockets? But that is not how elbow joints work. Because you would also need to rotate your hand to use the back pocket when it is angled, trying to use it will actually strain your elbow.

Also, using the front pocket design on a woman’s rear instantly makes me think of that old joke about a man putting the potato down his pants… it’s just a really weird and less functional choice.

I know that they are now spinning these new overalls as having 8 pockets, so I went and checked the math on my old ones. Not counting all the subdivisions as separate pockets, we used to have 10 solid pockets. If you counted every single subdivision as a new pocket, we had 15. Losing those 3 inches of length literally cost us 4 completely functional lower pockets.

All of this to say, is there any chance DTC is going to fix these things or do I have to wait for a sale on the longer length overalls then hem them to knee length to get new clothes?

I was surprised to see a buy it now price on a newly listed fountain pen so I popped in to details to look. After all how could it be “buy now” when I can buy one if these pens on eBay for 7-10 and goodwill already has the starting bid price at 9.99… the buy it now price is set at 450.00.

This pen is a cheap Chinese knock off of a German pen (LAMY safari)that usually sells new for $30-35. So I looked around at all their other listings that were filed as “buy it now” and most of them are also outrageously high.

No clue why they’re being quite this scammy.. but it feels a bit like it may be time to report them for mail fraud. =/

Why did FritoLay add this thing to my favorite flavor: Spicy Sweet Chili.

I can't eat it, any sweetener outside of sugar/honey/maple gives me migraines or something like a flu/fever.

My only consolation is my husband and kid can still eat it so it wasn't money down the drain.

I guess I need to check the rest of the flavors to see if I can have any of the other chips

I just found this little collection of pencils (pen is mine) at a thrift store today. It looks like they may glow in the dark? Anyone familiar with this version of Blackwing? I've never seen this model. All my others have been acquired with packaging. These were just jangling around in a ziplock bag.

Lately I’ve been seeing things like this… Etsy sellers selling things that don’t exist in reality. How are buyers meant to deal with this sort of thing? Can I assume this person has been hacked? Is something else going on? I feel bad reporting it but I didn’t know what else to do.
