In practice, I’d yank the bottle and put it in the seatback slot so I could drink more readily and to avoid leaking. Super-stiff webbing handles on the top and side of this pack add to the utility of stuffing it and yanking it out of the underseat storage area. And although it protrudes plenty and would be overlapping your shoes, it did fit, in part because dual cinch straps wrap the entire shell and tourniquet the contents into a smaller package. Like several of the bags I looked at, the Yeti can slide over the telescoped handles of roll-aboard bags so you can carry them both at once, and it had the widest slot for doing so. Bonus! A small slit from the laptop sleeve into the main cavity lets you reach through a “door” you’re already apt to have open to retrieve a book, snack, etc., without having to open the entire suitcase while seated.

When it comes to repelling moths, cedar just doesn’t cut it. Here are easy methods that actually work. In May of last year, Allison Wolf noticed a couple of small moths fluttering around her Brooklyn apartment. Frass, for the uninitiated, is a more quaint-sounding word for insect larvae excrement. This pellety substance is the evidence that moth larvae (aka caterpillars) leave behind after munching through your wardrobe, and it’s a telltale sign that you have a potentially very costly moth problem. The hungry caterpillars chowed down on Wolf’s hand-knit sweaters, too, snubbing the store-bought ones, and devoured her cats’ feathered toys. In nature, moths feast on feathers in abandoned bird nests and the fur and skin of dead animals. “We’d be up to our eyeballs in feathers and fur if they didn’t exist,” says Mary Ballard, a textiles conservator at the Smithsonian Institution. Trapped in your home, they have no choice but to dine on some of your most expensive belongings: cashmere sweaters, fur coats, alpaca blankets, wool suits-anything with keratin.

So far, 2024 is shaping up to be one of the boldest years yet when it comes to fashion: Denim as eveningwear will be on the rise, non-celebrities will be going pantsless, and there will be bows aplenty. Accessorizing will be all about having fun, too, thanks to anklets with a luxury twist and innovative applications of mesh fabrics in footwear. Handbags will play an important role in 2024’s overall style outlook as well, with some of the biggest trends dabbling in a bit of drama. While Succession – in tandem with TikTok – is regarded as a catalyst for 2023’s biggest trend, quiet luxury, the aesthetic has had a ripple effect across the 2024 spring/summer collections, too. Also bringing the drama are the same 3D florals making waves across all fashion categories in 2024 along with bright blue hues that stand to steal the sartorial show.
This is Ground has long been known for its exceptional handmade leather accessories, covering just about every product category from iPad to Nintendo Switch. We’re big fans of its Mod carrying case which is now on the third-generation. Based out of Los Angeles, many of This is Ground’s accessories are made here in the United States from top-grade materials. That includes the Tech Dopp Kit 2, a unique 21st century take on an old-school travel necessity. Head below for a few quick thoughts, a gallery and more. Over the last few years, I’ve reviewed a number of This is Ground products ranging from the aforementioned Mod to the recently released Connoisseur Apple Watch collection. I’ve always been a big fan of the choice of materials used on each of its products. But with that comes a high price tag. In the instance of This is Ground’s Tech Dopp Kit 2, the $219 MSRP may simply be a non-starter for some. Those willing to look past the sticker price will find a product that’s built to last.
