      Here's another random parenting question for you. Lastnite I was giving my son a bath and we were talking about his class at daycare. The subject of the boy who hit him a few weeks back came up. My boy was telling me how his classmate wouldn't play well with others and would frequently get time outs from the teacher. This child would do stuff like knock over magna tiles that others would build, or take toys that kids are playing with, etc. I gave me son 3 options to deal with this situation. One, he could make the choice to not play with him anymore, or two, he could use his powerful voice and tell him to stop whenever this child does something disruptive or three, he could tell his teacher.

      Anyway, after I went over these options with him my son he casually says, "I wish I had a gun so I could hurt him." Needless to say, I was speechless because I was bothered by his comment. I told him that it is not ok to talk like that or to threaten violence against someone with a gun (or anything for that matter). On the one hand, he's only 5 and I think he was expressing himself the only way he knows how. On the other hand, did he learn this language from the types of cartoons/movies that I let him watch? Most of the stuff I let him watch is harmless enough but then i'll let him watch grown up movies like Marvel/DC stuff or Transformers films, both of which have adult content like language and violence.

      How would you guys deal with this and what would you say? His comment was upsetting for me, especially given the current gun climate. I don't know whether or not to tell my ex-wife either.

        I spilt a decent amount of coffee on my kanreki shirt and a pair of jeans. This is a multiple part question. Will coffee stain the shirt? Is there a time in which I need to get the coffee out? Because I won’t be able to wash it for at least an hour. And I spilled it on my 777’s. Any information would be helpful thanks

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          Before you do anything, blot out as much as you can with Kitchen paper, this gets it out instead of spreading it around with water and a sponge which is what a lot of people reach for.

              Shout is the best thing,I’ve found for coffee stains. It doesn’t fade or harm the material. You will still have to wash the stained items,but you’ll be good as new when done. From another clumsy bastard.

                I recommend using cold water for any rinses or washes. Warm water will set the stain. Good luck!

                    Idk man but this tour jacket I’m wearing is amazing. So soft and heavy.

                      It’s definitely a contender. I have about 6 months until Jacket season starts again, so planning my attack.

                        Not on your list but i'd say the 526Lod you wore on the world tour.

                              I think for versatility then you can’t beat od. Either the OG IH-526-od or the IH-526L-od.

                              Modified or traditionsl is more a matter of body type perhaps, although to my surprise, I’ve found longer jackets allow more flexibilty for me. The shorter type III’s are great with a just a tee, but for layering the length is useful.

                                Thanks team. The ODL is probably the best option. Weight is moderate, color is great, and I know how it will fit.

                                  Is there a difference between rough out and burlap leather or just a nomenclature thing?

                                    Burlap is a sanded leather, you can have burlap roughout.

                                        Hi, I posted the on the 461s thread but it might get some attention here. Hope it makes sense…
                                        I'm hoping for a restock in sz30. Also wondering if sz29 will fit me. My jeans are usually size 29-32. I have apc hipsters which are low rise slightly flared bootcut in sz29 (i also have a pair in sz30 which are way too large). Since their, and some other brands sz29 bootcuts fit much larger (due to the cut and how their worn), where i would fit 30-32 in different cuts same brand, could I fit sz29 461/461s... Although my size 30 666sod are way too small now but they are a super slim bootcut. I also have a pair of IH-801 Duck Logger Pant sz31 which are a little too roomy

                                          When a new product launches at IHUK what is the reason behind staggered launches from IH vendors in the US? For example, the ihj-69 was sold by IHUK followed by R&H. The other European vendors then followed suit. No US vendors have started selling the ihj-69 yet.

                                            It takes longer to ship stuff to US than Europe is the short answer.
