Frugal alternatives to Drake’s scarves
Drake’s makes the best scarves. Full stop.
The colors, the patterns, the length, the beautiful silky drape. I love them. I don’t however love the $400+ price point. Any alternatives worth mentioning? Closest I’ve found is x of pentacles (don’t love their patterns as much) and all blues co (wool / yak mix instead of silk).

Anybody here tried to get an import duty refund? (USA)
I bought an expensive (over $800 import tac threshold) coat online from a UK-based store. Paid import duty tax through DHL. The coat didn’t work out and I sent it back to the UK for a full refund. Anybody familiar with the process of getting a refund for the tax paid? Looks like I have to do a drawback directly with US customs and border protection: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/entry-summary/drawback-overview
Worth it? Or should I not bother and just say goodbye to a couple hundred bucks?
