of course iwhwih's, but is there a rough guess on when you might have any of their boots available?

Reaching orbit on flight two is a massive achievement; hats off to Isar, because orbital mechanics don't care about PR. The "first from Western Europe" label feels like a sliced-and-diced marketing statistic, but having more active spaceports to inspire local engineers and lower launch friction is a great win for the industry overall.

which leather is that @coughpls ?

really curious on how their lasts fit compared to the bulk of other engineer or boots out there. Does anyone have enough experience with them to say how they would compare to a 9D Wesco mr. lou (or really any of the other boots from whites, nicks, lofgren, flathead, mccoys, clinch, rrl)? Specifically in the toe box height & length and then the volume of the instep.

Anyone have a pair of sd-1002's?
Curious how you like them and the fit compared to 634 or similar.

Wearing a moderately faded 409 today and the proprietor at a local noticed it, "wow, is that like a velvet denim?!".

copy this everyone, thanks. I've got a few 100% wool shirts too and usually play it safe and dry clean them or never clean them (hah!) but I'm more curious as to if anyone has lived dangerously, either by mistake or intent, and just chucked it in the wash as to how it went.

i know they're listed as dry clean only, but has anyone washed their fox bros wool shirts before? if so, how did you wash it and what happened?

@teamcarraig it depends. If it's very fine blocks with lots of glue joints, then no, those are worse. But if it's wide blocks of the grain then, yeah. It's an important distinction though so thanks for calling that or

Personally I wouldn't complicate things and just get a thick wood board. Don't get end grain or bamboo, they are hard on edges and will dull knives faster. Buy some oil or wax with it.

Wood board are very sanitary as they transport and remove water away from the bacteria which ends up killing them. I believe one of the scientific journals studied this like 15 years ago saying they're actually more food safe than plastic boards. Obviously don't run in the dishwasher, hand wash it when you're done, and dry the surface before putting it away, preferably on its side so it can dry completely.

Sanding can fix stains or scarred surfaces as well.
