      Yea I’m not sure what sort of laundry future these Europe folks live in but all I’ve ever seen is: hot/warm/cold and: beat to shit/almost no motion.

      Exactly.  Glad I'm not the only one who's been thinking this

        Or washing machine plays a little tune when finished. I kid you not!
        I had to dig through the manual for a while to switch that off.

        I can vary pretty much any aspect of the program, from temp, spin speed, No of rinses, anti-crease.

        Pointless really!

          Obviously not all our tax bill goes on evils like healthcare, education and maternity leave. Some of it must go on good old R & D for washing machines. My machine can be set from 30-90C in increments of 10C and from 400rpm to 1600rpm in increments of 100. It makes a super dry martini to order, speaks Hindi and sings that vocal solo from «Great Gig In The Sky» too.

          You forgot the Morrisey/Ministry/Metalica BPM cycles.

            Forgive me if this has been asked before but do you guys and gals ever have geek out moments when you see someone in your town wearing IH? Statistically, the chances of me seeing someone here wearing IH is probably 0% but I’m sure if I did I’d say something like, “hey, nice shirt,” or something silly. [emoji851][emoji868]

              Has never happened to me yet, despite living in two of the ten largest cities in America. The only times I've ever seen anyone wearing IH was at an event, or when I wandered into a Self Edge.

                  I've seen one guy in Austin with what looked like some 634s, and saw a guy and girl (who seemed quite obviously a couple) walking down the street in LA, both wearing jeans, one possibly 21oz and the other 18oz indigo/indigo. Drawn together by denim? Haha…

                  Other than that, nobody else in the wild!

                    I used to see IH in the wild sometimes in SF.  One time, I waited on a guy at my restaurant here who had on IH jeans.  He was going to some sort of tech conference in Charlotte, and had heard that Asheville was nice to visit.

                            It was a "great idea", and we all know how those typically turn out…..

                            Likely, my disdain for the process and results is due to my less-than-stellar adherence to methods/protocol, and habitual corner cutting... because there are some great examples of DIY waxed jackets out there (Modern and vintage), but mine DID NOT turn out like that, lol! I ended up, after HOURS spent waxing over 2-3 days, just putting it in the clothes dryer on HIGH and melting out the wax. It was splotchy/patchy, greasy, and it held on to dog hair and lint more than a wool sweater, which particularly sucks, because it's lined with alpaca.....

                                  I just put it in the clothes dryer with a few old towels, and let all of the wax melt out of it/absorb in to the fabric.

                                  When it rains a bit, the water beads up on it so it did keep some of the water proofing that I was going for

                                      Is UHR done for good in it current iteration? Or can it still be made? I'd love some sort of jacket made from the most current UHR.

                                        Looking for some Chelsea Boots to dress up my jeans for work.

                                        I know the thin, pointy ok toes are coming back, but I’m 220#, and beatle boots don’t cut it for me.

                                        Looking for a slightly tall stacked heal, black rough out/suede leather, and a fairly beefy overall look, but still sleek.

                                        Oh, and under $300…

                                        Anyone know where I might be able to find such things?

                                        Thanks!
