FINALLY WEAR TESTED THAT COAT I ORDERED IN OCT 2024

It took 6 months for this coat to arrive and I’ve worn in nonstop since. I’m working on a longer review for the blog but the TLDR is this: support brands and companies and creators who love products. I’m serious. Big brands don’t need your $, but these smaller brands do. And yes this cost more, but it’s going to keep a small company going who cares about fair wages for its manufacturers, who cares about transparency and the life of their products. Cannot wait to keep supporting Paynter for years to come.

what’s your budget range?
Edit: I‘m a big proponent of Canada Goose—but they did stop using real wolf fur in recent years. I’d also recommend Boden or Patagonia for lighter weather. The North Face has some good products you could check out like their HMLYN down parka or McMurdo line.
REI usually has some good downs too, but I’m pretty sure they’re rotational and differ based on region.
I’ve spent most of my adult life so far all over the east coast and my advice is that if you’re looking for an all-in-one option, yeah, the parkas are good. But I would also recommend having some lighter down jackets, at least one pullover sweater, and some layering, as well.
As for being current college student, I’ll let you know that sometimes, you just say “fuck it” and go out in your hoodie and a beanie or ear muffs when it’s -10°F and deeply regret it after 😂. Also scarves/neck gaiters MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. ALSO WOOL SOCKS.
And though I can’t speak on these brands as of late, my friends recommend LL Bean, Columbia, Lole, and Alpha Industries.

very appreciative of all you on this app

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

Brooklyn pi.fyi meetup — success

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

Just appreciating your pi.fyi feed

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love. I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed. It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
