Natural fibers are so important to me, and I wish companies these days would make them more. Polyester doesn’t breathe at all in the summer heat. And while I can mend my clothes, I want a good five years out of them first. Some clothes just aren’t worth repairing if they’re going to fall apart in under a year.

I’m also snobbish about boots. Thursday Boot Company is a diamond in the rough for selling Goodyear welt resoleable boots for women, when a lot of companies see it as a men-only or unisex thing. More of that, please!
