Cold day in NOLA.

If ever there were a more perfect outfit for black and white, idk what it would be.

ReLove 812 I scored off the last drop! I had no idea how good these were until I got ‘em in hand. Wow! Today’s high was 92° and I’m right as rain. In person, the warm silver tone of the sterling snap (thanks, UK crew!) against the creamy white hue of the herringbone is…. I believe the Italian word for it is 🤌.

Caught you looking.

888od and some hickory today for this trade show build.

The wife had to cover our indigo quota tonight.

I think I might have to hem the bottom of that 420. Short guy problems.

Rodeo day 2, but my first day with the 633 XHS. This 25oz is no joke! Took them out of the box, threw them on, and headed out of the door.

Also day 1 with the IHSH-246 natural. Shoutout to Self Edge for having 1 random xxl in stock. The brighter blue color is gorgeous! Might should’ve waited for an XL. Oh well.

Decided to make shorts from this eBay score. Should I do the other leg, or is this a cool look?

Day 2 in the 812 coming to you straight from the garden.

Had to do the shorts mod. These Texas summers ain’t no joke! I decided on an 8” inseam, and dusted off my rusty sewing skills.

Me: I’d sure love to have one of these this winter. I hope they restock soon!

Me to me: IWHWIH

Me: I know, I know.

I’ll see myself out.

End scene

@americanathreads I wouldn’t say that I gained any extra room after breaking in, but it did conform to my body and felt way more comfortable. These heavy shirts always feel a bit cloister phobic to me at first, but quickly conform and become like comfy armor.

@americanathreads That's a perfect fit IMO. Once it breaks in and relaxes, it's going to fit like a glove.

Shoutout to Sash at Berkeley Supply in Denver for helping me keep my glasses out of my beard with a new glasses ring and ballchain setup. LOVING it. Especially loving the matching rosette on the poplock. They were meant to be together.

Curious how many of you all polish your silver?

Do you:
Fully polish?
Fully patina?
Lightly polish, keeping some dark antiquing as contrast?

@truby I love it. With the snap ring it's like a more badass glasses loop.

Killin' it, Chibs! Way to put yourself out there, and great content!

@goosehd said in My guide on Iron Heart + SEXIH25CPO-OD:

Still not as bad as Rolex and all of the stupid nicknames people give to the different models. TBH it kind of puts me off to the entire brand.

Saying pepsi is way easier and more fun than saying 126710BLRO

@Mizmazzle They are perfect!! What length did you wind up going with?

@Johnnyutah247 I’m at 10 in sneakers. I take a 9m/43 standard width in Arizonas.

I like my foot to fit snugly into the footbed and the leather vamp to be tight. The leather starts snug but stretches a lot, so I usually wind up tightening the strap after the first couple of weeks.
