Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

At some point every year I look at the nominees for the Hugo awards and get an idea of what's considered (subjectively of course, but nonetheless consensus) the best recent sci fi. I picked up and read The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett (which ended up winning best novel) and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Alien Clay, both of which were f'n excellent.

Would be cool to see one that could fade. I know there are the whipcord ones coming out, and they’re sulfur dyed, or at least the black is.

Haha hell yeah, couldn’t resist

Man I wanted to like that Laurel Canyon doc but I thought it was so clunky. The scenes with Beck, Chan Marshall etc watching the TV felt so scripted and wooden. Granted I adore that music and everybody in it pretty much, so I soldiered through, but sheesh.

@myk1098 I think yours looks really killer. I feel like these jackets need a good bit of wear before they start looking nicely worn, which is why I was wondering. I’ve had mine for at least two years (maybe three?) and there’s still no teacore showing anywhere. Granted I have a couple other leather jackets, so it’s not like I’m giving it a ton of punishment. I have managed to get the shine tamed a decent bit (these things are crazy shiny when new), but I’m gonna try to make it my main jacket this winter so it’s got a better chance. We’ll see what happens!

Out of curiosity, has there ever been any talk of making this bag in SBG?

@Alex gotcha — much appreciated, man!

@Alex @AdamJ I figure since the thread is still locked, there obviously aren't any imminent updates on the 526-SBG, but I'm wondering — is it even still happening? Just in limbo? Or likely getting the kibosh? I know IWHWIH etc etc but just kinda curious if I should keep my hopes up.

I ordered a handful of samples recently — haven’t gone through them all yet, but I’ve really dug Naomi Goodsir Bois d’Ascesce (super smoky, kind of a peaty whisky thing with a bit of leather) and also her Corpus Equus. The latter is WILD — I wouldn’t buy a bottle but it was insanely nostalgic to me, smelled like an old barn or horse stable with hay, leather, and cigarette smoke. Like I said, a bit nuts, but I admire the creativity.

Also checked out a few from this company I like called Wienerblut (translates to Vienna or Viennese Blood, I think). Really loved Palais Nizam and Klubwasswer. The first is very incense-y, spicy, leathery, feels like old books. The second is super green at first, strongly leafy and herbal, and dries to a beautiful powdery scent. Both feel very classy and a bit old school in some ways — they’d go with any clothing, but I feel like they’d go especially well with a nice suit. Definitely would be up for buying either.

@indigo_nico SBG are awesome. I’d go with the XHS if I had to pick, but you can’t go wrong with either.
