Don't know how to tag on tapatalk (sorry, not sorry)
Manufc10- I actually got a deal on a new pair of prps (yeah yeah I like the wash) and they were true straights. Talk about an awesome thing to happen to me. I can't believe I haven't worn a straight in years and fell in love with the room and mobility. Been wearing TFH 3009 and am not looking back.
Untucked- The stuff you wear is cool though and not the modern trend stuff. If someone told me what you were wearing and I didn't see it, I would never think the outfit would work (those cargo pants with the engineer boots for instance) but you pull it off so well.

Do you own any 634's yet?

@yinzer I've been meaning to get a pair of 3009's for quite some time now but haven't had the chance. I still plan on picking up a pair eventually.

I'm a hashtagger….. Lol

Me too. Instagram for me is a really good way of kind of keeping a diary of fits and outfits. I think it will be a really good way to keep track of the progress on a pair of DWC jeans over the next few years too. At least that's kind of my main intention in using it for the foreseeable future.

Me three. It’s fun, and I don’t take it too seriously either (instagram in general) There are a lot of “cool” users with the awfully staged photos, and equally bad captions but luckily you don’t have to follow everyone [emoji51]

Fuck me - I'm a hipster…

Do you hate everything, including all The things you regularly participate in? If so then yes it counts.

And my gonads just ascended in to my abdomen…. lol!
If I feel it's "ruined", I'll just blast it in a clothes dryer for 30mins until most of the wax melts off.
Might work, might not, lol
You'd likely ruin the dryer. I waxed my Gustin trucker way back when and ruined it with otter wax. Never doing that again with clothing

I don't know how much is costs to get Barbour to do it for you, but unless you TRULY think it sounds fun, I don't recommend it, lol

@UnTucked , your waxing an IH deck coat right? You won't ruin it man, I've done with Barbour Tjornproof and a hair dryer (not mine obviously), it works fine.

I actually got it for a steal, $30 so the cost of having it done properly will outweigh the inevitable stress

Awesome!
I'm actually most worried about ruing everything else… Car seats, desk chair, wall paint, lol! I laid it on a big thicker than I intended to in a couple places

Oh, that sounds perfect!

A high quality heat gun is 20-30 bucks, and is totally worth it. Much better than a hair dryer, and then surprisingly useful for other projects.

How you wax your garment makes a difference too. I used a bar of Otter wax and simply rubbed it on my jacket and then used a heat gun to melt the wax. The problem was that the wax embedded itself in every nook and cranny and even when I used the heat gun it didn't melt everything entirely, so I had gobs of wax that later congealed on the surface. Not a good look. However, I have seen tutorials where people used melted wax that they applied on the garment with a brush and then used a heat gun afterwards to good effect. Otter wax stinks to high heaven by the way.
