True, and MiUSA is not a 100% requirement for me. I appreciate great optics in sunglasses, and realize that there are companies all over the planet who make great sunglasses. Vuarnet are good, as are Ray-Ban (but not the same as the old MiUSA Ray Bans)

I really try to stay away from anything Luxottica, so Ray Ban is out for me, but my wife loves them and objectively they are quite nice

Well it works......I happen to have a few N95's (my mom who lived with us had a severe lung issue prior to her death) so I just wear them.

I have a few n95s also... and some cloth valve masks and a full gas mask

It's hard to not buy Luxottica, if buying sunglasses. They seem to have a LOT of brands under their umbrella.

Full gas mask, I'm impressed!

Full gas mask, I'm impressed!

Technically doesn’t work... but I remembered also have an organic vaopor respirator

I found like 22N95s leftover from a painting project last year. I'm down to 10 after giving 12 to my parents and an immunocompromised neighbor but I think I'm probably just going to reuse the same one every day

I have a thing for sunglasses (and footwear, and fountain pens) lately I've been getting into Randolph sunglasses after years of Maui Jim's...Randolph's are made here, in the USA. maui's used to be, but........

Thanks for the tip on RE! Haven’t heard of them before.

Great sunglasses, great American entrepreneurs story, just a good product overall.

I saw an elderly woman take off her mask to cough in a grocery store last week. Made me really mad because sick people are supposed to stay home, and because the whole purpose of the mask is to help prevent it from spreading to others.

Some people don't get it, she may not have been ill, just doesn't get the concept of a mask for containment of a virus. My Mother, prior to her death 3 yrs ago, had a respiratory thing and would cough, just because, it wasn't contagious, she just needed to cough. So the woman in the grocery store may not have had anything......then again, given current circumstances, she could be patient zero in your area. Stay away, stay healthy. It's the new 'normal".

Well, I used the template from the Style Forum front page and a trusty AE shoe bag with a silk pocket square for the liner. I switched to a dotted square after the first picture was taken. Here is a link to the template.

So bragged about you to my Mother-in-Law at dinner tonight (she lives with us). How you used a shoe bag and a pocket square...brought up the photos. She looked and said, “wow, it looks like it could even double as a jockstrap.”

Iced tea that was in my mouth came out of my nostrils when she said that.

I like your Mother in Law....sounds like she has a great sense of humor. As well as knowing what is important to protect............

I do really want to order some shoe trees, but all these messages about how we should only be buying essential items through mail makes me feel bad. Still, I could argue that buying shoe trees from AE is essential to AE's business right now.

MIA, quality builds with real mineral glass and great styles.

Wanna get mad again?

A Hoarder’s Huge Stockpile of Masks and Gloves Will Now Go to Doctors and Nurses, F.B.I. Says (Published 2020)

The stockpile, slated for medical personnel in New York and New Jersey, includes 192,000 N95 respirators, 130,000 surgical masks and nearly 600,000 medical-grade gloves, the authorities said.

If he's going to get charged with assaulting federals and hoarding essential supplies, maybe don't pay him "fair market value"for supplies? I think they just force him to walk the streets with a sign letting everyone know what he did.
