Leatherman: Multi-Tools and Pocketknives
*Unbelievable selection *Specialty models *Reasonable pricing *Quality and durability
Made in Portland, Oregon, these tools originated the mega multi-tool with the plier as a hinge, and is like a Swiss-Army Knife on steroids. Interestingly Leatherman is the family name! Tim Leatherman has been the driving force for 25 years, and puts his name on every tool. I had thought they had just the one main tool, but I see they have dozens of multi-tools, most of which carry a 25 year warranty. They range from full-size, down to smaller versions that one would carry as a keychain, tools for military use, and even simple high-end pocket-knives with a single blade.
The models are properly named for different specialties, such as “Juice C2” for bartenders and travelers. Prepare yourself for large beautiful photos on their corporate website, as well as user-guides.

What a great looking selection of women’s bathing suits!

Bamboosa: Bamboo Fiber Blend Clothing for All
*Luxurious *Sustainable *Super-soft and gentle *Super-absorbent *Variety
Bamboosa: Bamboo fiber blend clothing for men, women and babies – made in the Carolinas and luxurious-to-the-touch. Not just Yoga clothes! For men they have 70/30 blend Tees (which I will feature here), socks, ski and skull caps, and boxers. For women they have skirts, long and short sleeve tops (nice v neck), yoga pants and sleepwear slips. For the family they have soap made with bamboo powder and essential oils.
Bonus reasons: ring-spun yarn that yields the softest and finest knit fabric, chlorine-free bleaching process, energy and water-efficient dyes, packaging is all recycled. Sustainable harvesting, gentle on your and your baby’s skin… it absorbs up to 4x that of cotton.
Gotta give them props for their outreach and encouragement to explore other US made sites! https://www.bamboosa.com/engage.php?PID=37
