Starter dress shoes
My brother wears dress sneakers and I am trying to change that.
He doesn't have much of a budget though and probably won't spend more than $200 on shoes. I recommended Meermin to him, but I also recognize they can be stiff and have a long break-in period depending on which model you get. (I speak from experience; I currently own four Meermin pairs.)
I understand that AE has gone way downhill in recent years. Aside from Meermin, are there any good dress shoe brands at a low price point?
Extra points if you have recommendations for brands that have NYC stores.

braided belt too thick?
I recently got a braided belt after a lifetime of smooth belts.
I found it's a little annoying to get the belt through the belt loops on a pair of pants because of the friction caused by the braided shape.
Is this normal or do I just have a really thick belt?

Buyee USD currency conversion
I live in the US and am planning to buy something via Buyee from a Yahoo Japan auction for the first time.
I noticed the Yen-to-USD currency conversion on Buyee is notably different than what PayPal's and Google's currency conversion says.
Does anyone know why that is?
And if I win the auction, would I pay in Yen (which would use PayPal's conversion)? Or USD using Buyee's conversion?

Shetland sweaters
I think I remember someone in this Discord once shared an eBay page for a Scotland-based company that sells reasonably priced Shetland sweaters. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Container Store slim wooden shirt hangers?
I'm in the process of refreshing my closet with all wooden hangers. I saw that the Container Store sells these slim ones, which are 1/4 of an inch in width. https://www.containerstore.com/s/closet/hangers/the-container-store-slim-wooden-hangers-with-notches/12d?productId=11020439
Does anyone have experience with them? Should I worry about the slim size creating indents in the shoulders of my shirts?
