Jdl if you like woody/earthy with a slight citrus, I can recommend;

Channel Sycamore
L'Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu
Gucci Pour Homme (I)

They are all somewhat spiced, vetiver.  So may be a bum steer for you, but I love them all in order of preference.

I love Terre D'Hermes and women seem to as well. Very masculine. I am not trying to smell like a flower.

I can't recommend enough Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar, Sandalwood, 1805 and Spanish Leather

[derivative666]

Agreed on the Terre D' Hermes very outdoorsy smell, very masculine.

I had this thought today:

For much of the denim community today, the outseam selvedge is highly desired (if not almost mandatory) for raw denim jeans. But obviously this was not always the case. I was thinking back to when jeans were first made, when selvedge denim was first a thing.

Does it make sense that outseams were selvedge because it was the longest seam on a pair of pants, and by placing the selvedge there cut down on labor in the form of additional overlocking/sewing? I'm not sure if this is the reason selvedge is traditionally placed on the outseam, or if the origination of this denim feature is even known. It's just something that popped into my head…

[mclaincausey]

My guess is efficiency. The edge is already finished, no overlock stitching or other finishing required.

It's because that's the side of a leg pattern that is straight. There is a curve to the pattern on the inseam side coming up to the crotch. If you tried to turn the pattern around you would actually be cutting off the selvedge line to account for the curve to the pant leg. Just like when you taper a patten you wouldn't taper the selvedge side because you would be cutting it off. It stays straight and you taper the inseam on the pattern.

Thanks gentlemen, I see some things that looking further are of interest. Some of them I can snag 1oz samples for relatively cheap. I'll share some thoughts as I progress

@jdl1279:

One bump I have hit is in the personal care department though and I am looking for a line on deodorants and fragrances.

I'd rather not.  Not because it can't be done, but the hem (sort of like a Chino hem) that is needed on a shirt is something that I can't easily do here…..

I've had my eye on this beauty for some time now and given my bonus will be extra nice this year, I am thinking of treating myself. Before I do though, I am wondering if anyone has this jacket and can chime in on sizing, wear, etc. I don't know if this item is in the NYC store, but I can check.

Anyway, if anyone has this great jacket, please, share your experiences.

TIA. Gary

There's not going to be an IHF-2014 unless the remaining IHF-2013 stock clears out, is there?

[madmonday]

you got a design idea?  let's see it.

i think the forum tee shirt has run it's course & should be retired.  the gosport tee was/is the future of the tees that should be done for the forum.
