Originally I had a down expedition coat and a balaclava but that was too warm. Color me surprised.

I really love this shirt. Tie Dye Paul made it, it's one of two I bought from him. I don't think he does shirts anymore. He has done some really cool backdrops for places like Cervantes in Denver.

@Chris:

I'm reminded of this quote today, as I am confronted with my inappropriate clothing…
@Giles:

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing".  Sir Ranulph Fiennes

(Houston is currently experiencing sub-freezing temperatures, an occasion nearly as rare as a sober evening for Megatron.  I should note, however, that it is infinitely more pleasant weather than in Minnesota.)

That rare  :o

I'll mail you my Buzz N3B, I'm sweating my ass off here man.

^That is sick, never owned a tie dye. The Vermont crunchy in me always wanted one.

Thanks gents, I love tie dyes too. This is my favorite of the two I currently own, both created by my favorite tie dyer. His technique is so identifiable that I've approached–and been approached by--other fans of his: "Did you get that shirt from a guy named Tie Dye Paul?" He and his wife do really fine sewing techniques adopted from around the world, so they get a lot of detail that I haven't seen other artisans replicate.

Holy Feck….

Seriously, never seen this happen.  Must have been a internally damaged button, but it did make me laugh…..

Well it's not particularly cold in UK at preset, but we continue to be hit by a succession of gales.

Here is the sea road along one our Gospit coastal defences….....

Wearing MBB & IHD-01od through security seems to almost always earns me a solid pat down at the airport.

I think Shoque actually had to undress once when leaving Heathrow…...

-37C with the wind here in Toronto and I managed the 30 minute walk to work without long underwear beneath my 666-XHS. I love 25 oz denim.

And, I resolve to wash my jeans more often in 2014.

[summ3rhays]

I could have taken the easy route and taken off the shirt rather than snapping it up tight, but ah.

Chest pockets and cuffs. Like they had never seen cuffed jeans before. Can't complain as they keep us relatively safe.

Wifi on planes kicks ass btw

WTF?

100% cocoa. Is this pressed cocoa? I love 80%+ but this was a first.

Tastes really good. But, a bit of sweetness would be welcome. Still, a great way to get cocoa into your system sans carbs.

Sounds like you got the rubdown you were looking for

100%!! Way too dark for me. ~70% is my limit. You like it though?

Same for me. I had some 98% and it was just too bitter.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I like it but only in small doses. And there mainly on texture, not flavor.
