        cold, hang dry.  if you want to avoid the spin cycle go for a hand wash.

              This forum is our Facebook….

              Seriously, I loath facebook. It is a huge bore, but for some reason it is still around. I don't predict it to be as dominant as it has been until now but what the hell do I know…

              The new chic is soon going to be able to say: I shut down my FB page.

              I'm almost tempted to reopen my own FB page just to start a "Fuck Facebooook" group, but at the same time, why even bother.

                  I shut down my FB account I had in my real name after a month or so.

                  Still don't really get the point of it, but at least this time I'm not bothered by people who used to know me when I was 6…

                        Well when you get the BB's it might be less of a problem… 😉

                          Same with 07BKs (just started wearing my knife there, so the damage so far has been done quickly):


                          I know the BBs will have a secret knife pocket, but I won't be buying them Lando (soon)… Any other tips, perhaps?..

                            You can take the clip off, and polish the contact area underneath the clip. That will help a little bit

                            If you don't mind the way it looks, you can also polish down the contact areas on the knife that are wearing down your jeans

                            The last step is to get a pocket sheath or a belt sheath. Vess leatherworks in Canada does some nice work with Sebenza sheaths

                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                winter's coming so i need to score some new boots, and i found this website & they sell pretty cheap red wing's
                                https://www.theoriginalstore.co.uk/11_Red-Wing-Shoe-Co
                                since i can't find them in RW's official retailer and the price is around 30% cheaper i'm kinda reluctant to buy it, but tempted with their size availability&pricing 😞
                                any suggestions? 🙂

                                it's not a jeans, it's an iron heart

                                      Looks good to me as well. Was looking at their site the other day and had to shut it down because there are a few things I wanted…

                                        Beats, are you starting the 2 year Eternal Contest as soon as a year hits those SExIH07BK's? Are you really going to wait 2 years to start wearing those BB's?!?!

                                          Lando - I have 16 hours a day to wear denim. BBod and Eternal contest will get equal time, I believe I will be able to fade both..
