262-PUR over 634S

My first ever IH jeans and my first IH flannel.
I bought the jeans in 2007 and the flannel a year or two later. It’s yard work and mowing for me today.

Khaki herringbone CPO over 666S-14s:

142OD over 308-IND & 634S
This shirt is one of my oldest IH pieces. Prolly 15 or so years old.

33-T over 634S-B

Went for a little ride today:
33-T over 634S-OD

Cool and windy this evening here in coastal NorCal. Perfect weather for a 14 oz OD tux.

I bought this over shirt at Self Edge in SF at least 10 years ago, maybe more. I have no idea what the model# is. It’s cut like a cpo with a gray quilted lining. The jeans are 666S-18s. I bought them just last year. I gotta say, the 18oz denim is just about my favorite for casual wear here in NorCal.

414-BLK over 735-ODG

I usually buy heavyweight IH products. But I figured I’d try out lighter weights that I can rock in warmer weather. It was in the high 70s(f) yesterday and I was really comfortable in these.

526PJ over 666S-14s

Went to town today. So I had to clean it up a bit. 826-OD over 738-KHA.

Thanks again. But it’s not quite so random. That photo is taken from my back field facing West. At this time of year, when it gets near sunset and there are clouds in the sky, I can see the colors start to light up the sky from my north facing kitchen window. So I’ll call my dogs and walk out to the western field and have a look-see. It’s always a nice view. But sometimes it’s spectacular. Especially if the fog is starting to creep over Sonoma Mountain.

I guess what I’m saying is, over the years, I’ve learned where and when to look for the light in my small corner of the world.

Thanks again.

I rode out to Tomales this morning to meet up with the Club, then we rode rode up to Guerneville for lunch. After lunch, most of the club headed north through Cazadero. I decided to solo home. I was a bit warm in my leathers. So I headed west to Jenner and followed the coast and cooling fog south for as long as I could before finally heading east and back home. It was a sweet ride.
