Reminds me of:

Found a photo of my old pair of 634S on my phone which I no longer wear (but still have) ever since converting to exclusively wearing 888s:

It's apparently been four years with this one...

A cozy fleece jacket (I edited the photo of an existing green Patagonia jacket below as a mock-up/example to illustrate what I mean):

• turquoise like the IHSH-287-TUR
• high pile fleece
• double vertical zippers, zipped side pockets, inside pockets, two way zippers
• full cream, black or orange hardware contrast details

I noticed that my 85 % blue-tinted glasses weren’t the best for daily use when it comes to blocking the sun. So I went to the optician and ordered 85% grey-tinted prescription lenses for my black pair of Ichikawas instead. I then had them install the blue-tinted lenses from the black pair into my beige pair of Ichikawas. Now the beige pair has a purpose and will be worn in less extreme sunlight conditions.

@cityofdelusion 0.8mm suede brown horsehide? Couldn't resist, so here we are.

And here's a bad quality fit photo:

Sat down and made a tutorial video explaining how to fix a pulled thread / snag in (Sashiko) fabric. Hope it'll help others!

(Also produced my own soundtrack to prevent any music-related copyright issues )

Added another gem to my collection

Paired with 888-SBG and GAH ring.

IHJ-138, 888D & Bleu de Chauffe

Random question: Does the "hydrophobic coating" eventually wear off (e. g. by washing often or other factors)?

@Xavras That's my favorite as well.

I don't own any Wonder Looper (yet?) and just stumbled upon their F/W 2025 preview video on YouTube - some very nice upcoming releases it seems:

Decided to keep the Smoke Fade Ichikawa after all (they somehow grew on me after I said I didn't like them on me), and bought another one in Beige.

The top ones (Black) are my prescription sunglasses (blue), the middle ones (Smoke Fade) are my daily optical glasses and the bottom ones (Beige) are yet to be determined.

Can anyone recommend mid-length (slightly above knee level) bathing shorts for men* that are: good quality, fast drying, can be worn casually outdoors (basic colors, no flashy designs/logos etc.), preferably come with zipped pockets, isn't unnecessarily expensive?

*Available in the EU.

@Danny-RnH Any plans on offering the new GA spacer rings (particularly goosebumps)?

@68degreesorless same

^ Looks really nice.

On a general note: Is anyone else bothered by the tag at the bottom (hem) of these T-Shirts sticking out? I know, it can be removed, but I just don't get why they placed it in such an annoying way

@JerkStore Thanks! I ordered a pair and received them today (Ichikawa in Smoke fade). I don't really like how they look on me though since I have brown hair and something about them looks off on me. I think full transparent ones (beige) could look better on me, but I'm not sure and they're sold out in the EU as far as I know.

@pechelman Thanks - yeah I've seen those photos as well, but the (I'll try to put it as respectfully as I can here) models' hairstyles and the quality of the photos (too close makes JMMs look way bigger on the face than they already are) didn't give me a good idea on how they would look on me with my.... hair
