So, I am in a bit of a conundrum here. Actually there are two topics here. First of all, at Pini Parma, they have two pants, the Soragna cut, which I Love. One of them is in linen, the other in Cotton. Now I am lost in deciding which one to get. For reference, here they are: https://www.piniparma.com/products/blue-cotton-trousers-soragna-capsule-collection-made-in-italy https://www.piniparma.com/products/blue-linen-trousers-soragna-capsule-collection-made-in-italy Which one would you go for? And on a slightly different topic. Are there any tips on ironing pleats? I have no issue ironing a crease into my trousers, but with actual pleats, it seems nigh Impossible to get it right.

Hello gents. I switched to a safety razor a few months ago (I bought the King C Gillette razor) and overall the experience has been better than the one I had with cartridge razors. However, apart from very few times, I always get minor cuts that, even though the bleeding stops almost immediately, leave behind small red spots that become even worse if the next day for example I get sweaty. These always happen on my neck, never on my actual face, so I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it maybe has to do with the blades and how sharp or dull they are. Any input is welcome!

I've finished the famous 4Daagse in the military category (4x40km with 10kg; although the weight requirement was lifted at the last day due to heat) for the third time. Along the way there was a lot of time to reflect. Like 'why the hell am I doing this for the third time?' But when you reach the goal it just feels amazing and you want to do it again! And of course this would not have possible without a team who walked along and helped wach other when someone had a bad moment. Keep following your goals. Keep on marching. You never walk alone!

So I'm about to thrift a Jack & Jones suede leather (goat) jacket labelled "Premium". So wanted to ask if someone has experience with the brand. How is quality and can you recommend it? There not really any money at risk, I just don't want to buy something low quality as it's meant to replace my cheap leather jacket.
