The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread

I am happy to take it next if people want. Think it is going to be a bit big on me so the more layers I can get under it the better.

If I take it, I will wear it to work in so be warned it will get a beating.

@tmg is out of rotation at the minute and will be skipping this UK round. My bad, he let me know and I forgot to update.

cool @spitfiredealer . Pm me your address and i'll get it in the post to you Tuesday.

[bryaneidins70]

Sorry for the delay in getting the jacket to Layton.

It's packaged up and going in the post tomorrow.

[spitfiredealer]

Jacket was waiting for when I got home today. Thanks to @bryaneidins70

Threw it on and took the dog out

First impressions about it:

The size is one bigger than my standard 526L, so the sleeves are a bit long and it is roomier than I would usually want but this will make it perfect to work in. The extra room will allow me to move easier.

The feel of the denim is so soft compared to my standard 526L it honestly feels like a different material. It makes me wanna wash the hell out of mine to try and get it as soft.

This will be coming to work with me on Monday so expect it to get dirty soon

A little update

Jacket did some hard work this morning.

We are currently taking up a old York stone path and relaying it for a client. It's a lovely garden. We have done quite a lot of work here previously.

He is currently having a castle built and joined to his house!! I will get some pictures of the castle next week.

Lovely

I love that this jacket is getting a battering. Great update @spitfiredealer

[spitfiredealer]

A guy from Masterchef has opened up a restaurant in our home town. So dusted off the jacket and took it and the good wife out for lunch.

[spitfiredealer]

Food and wine was amazing I gotta say. But with all these fancy places I always want bigger portions!!

@spitfiredealer:

Wait…  Is that cress and dirt and tofu served on a prawn cracker, on the rocks?

[Matty123]

Are you drinking a sidecar? @spitfiredealer

[spitfiredealer]

Yes well spotted @Matty123

A between the sheets to be precise

rum, cognac, triple sec, and lemon juice

[Matty123]

Sounds delicious. That’s a classic with a twist. I’ve done a fair share of bar study, no pun intended,  and the sidecar is almost certainly the mother/inspiration  of the margarita. Looks like you def enjoyed it.

Jacket looks great @spitfiredealer I'm kind of awestruck by the beating it takes to get some fade.
Like the food presentation too .
