A well-made watch is a great heirloom. Hope you keep it ticking by the time you give it to your kids!

Not that I am fashion forward or fashion literate or fashionable, but it seems to me the disposability of the newest clothes also cheapens our look. I can't imagine someone pulling athleisure apparel out of their closet and saying, "My mom war this when she met my dad." Whether I like it or not, what we wear says something about us. I wouldn't mind buying a jacket that will endure, and I wouldn't mind putting a patch on it an elbow or two if it ever tore.
