I've been trying to find some baseball style (ie, 3/4 sleeve) shirts on AliExpress. I'm not sure what to enter for search terms though. "Baseball" gives actual jersey and "3/4 sleeve" doesn't give many worthwhile results. Are they just not popular or is there another obvious name that I'm missing? Like I'm seeing boring stuff like [url=https://www.aliexpress.com/item/I-m-A-Realtor-Ask-Me-For-My-Card-T-shirt-Men-Customize-T-Shirt-Novelty/32878025590.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.156.2b4a40a8d9JYca&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10152_10151_10065_10344_10130_10068_10547_10342_10343_10340_10548_10341_10696_10084_10083_10618_10139_10307_10059_100031_524_10103_10624_10623_10622_10621_10620,searchweb201603_1,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=4f539395-28fc-4d9a-8198-1424f1cddac1-20&algo_pvid=4f539395-28fc-4d9a-8198-1424f1cddac1&priceBeautifyAB=0]this poo poo.
Try searching "3/4 Raglan sleeve" specifically? That gets me a lot of results like this:

I know people were talking about fishing gear a while back. While rods and reels are important, what about fishing clothes? You don't want to come back from your fishing trip with an unsightly browning of the skin, do you?

Found this recommended store today and it looks like a nice shop for good quality jewelry. I liked the basics, but there are some fun pieces with cats, flowers, and mountains.

Any recommendations for a pocket knife/multitool? I'm a dad so I feel like I'm overdue to own one, but I'm a goon dad so I feel like it should come from a sketchy Chinese retailer that maybe also sells anime pillows

I think I'm done with Ali for anything over a couple of dollars.

Ordered some bike gear in March, had to gently caress around with refunds because they never sent it and lied about sending a replacement. And now this other kit from a different seller wasn't shipped for a week and still doesn't have the promised tracking number 3 weeks later. Going to be months before I can get a refund.

You save a bit of money on cheapo poo poo but I don't mind spending more and getting higher quality items in a decent amount of time and reducing the number of thieves in my life to 0.

you can find actually good ones made in the US for under $50 which is what it would cost from China but without the heavy metal poisoning.

Cheaping out on something that will injure you if it breaks is bad.

Go to various knife websites like bladehq and filter by sale price

I ordered some "wool" yarn from Ali Express to see what the quality was like. It's terrible acrylic, like much worse than I have ever seen for sale in the US, Canada, or UK. It feels like a milder form of touching insulation. I'm not too surprised or disappointed (I spent only a few dollars to find out) but now I/we know for sure.



Thank you for your noble sacrifice :)

Turns out that Wiha screwdriver set is actually legit.

Its licensed by Wiha, but not manufactured by them. No idea if it lives up to their usual quality. Worth gambling 20 bucks on.

Could you test the hardness and quality of the bits somehow once you get it? Xiaomi makes pretty good stuff but they're not exactly a big name in metallurgy. There are a bunch of reviews online but they're mostly BS "pretty case, feels good in the hand, screws and unscrews stuff, 8/10"

In the meantime I have a set that looks exactly like this other than the color of the shaft on the handle and it's been ok for years so i'm not particularly burning to bet on this one.

I bought a small metal ruler (because I hadn't been able to find one that was short enough to fit in my desk tray) off Aliexpress and only some time after reviewing it did I notice the scale was way off, like it was missing ½mm from the beginning :(

I saw a few reviews that looked more trustworthy, that amounted to "not as good as wiha's normal quality, but way better than normal Chinese junk"

I don't have a proper hardness tester but I can take a file to it and make some comparisons, as well comparisons to the fit. My other wiha bits fit really snug.
