G, am I correct by assuming that all IH-loomstate-bottom-denims are made slightly oversized so they can shrink to the measurements a sanforized/washed model would have?
If so, what is the best procedure to shrink/soak those denims (cold, lukewarm, warm, hot?) to achieve the best results for the fit and the denim itself?

@TrickHell:
Why do trucker vests have pocket, but trucker jackets don't?
imho the Type III is also called Trucker Jacket and has still Pockets (Breast/Side/Internal)

So.. In my stockroom/ level floor cellar, I have no light… No electricity either, everything's been cut (to prevent from tenants using the built-in airco I assume)...
I've bought a LED searchlight but I need something that provides much more light... This is kinda cool but not sufficent either: http://www.light11.nl/Marset/FollowMe.html
Anyone have any ideas here?.. It's a small room, under 10m²...
-
want to leave the light down there?
Use a car or caravan battery and a fluorescent strip light designed for a caravan.
-
That sounds good… Might switch the car battery for one of these though: https://tinyurl.com/psbumba

I'm a total boot noob! I wear Adi Dasslers finest three stripes whenever I can, then I've got an old pair of generic steel caps for working in and an old pair of donated hunting boots for hiking/cabin trips and so on. The only casual boots I've got is a pair of black, lined Clarks that cost about $200 that I've had for autumn/winter use the last three years.
I'm painfully aware that I need to up my boot game. I'm not quite ready to splurge $800 on some of the badassery available here. I'm just not sure I love boots that much (yet). So I'm thinking something more "entry level" that cost around $400, like Red Wings or Wolverines. They need to be able to tackle rain and not be useless in ice and snow. Lining isn't a must as woollen socks are boss.
Here's the question: Based on the above, which boots should I buy?
-
Everyone who is into this kinda gear should of owned a pair of Red Wings at least once. I have numerous pairs and can't complain. Go for a pair.
-
$400 for redwings?
Figure out sizing & what u like then get someone to proxy for you or buy lightly used on ebay or grailed
-
Yeah don't pay $400 for a pair for Christs sake.
