What we keep, what we skip

Named sources. Claims trace to the sources listed with each piece, not to another gear blog.
Real materials. Vegetable-tanned leather, waxed canvas, wool, enamel, US-forged steel. No plastic hardware posing as brass.
No fake urgency. No "only 2 left" banners that reset at midnight. No modals. No dark patterns.
Plain talk. If a brand's cheaper line is split leather under a coated finish, we say so, and we show you how to spot it.
