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 .

Right?  The OD is tough to fade

[spitfiredealer]

Starting to get a bit dirty

[neph93]

Yeah, bit grubby [emoji2]

Beatiful Update @spitfiredealer

Exactly what I expected.
Mud, sweat and …
Hope the buttons will hold your hard work!

It deserves another wash. I'd like to see those blue highlights…  ???

I thought they were coming along nicely.

Certainly different to od’ed 21oz though.

[spitfiredealer]

I was going to try and hold out on washing it till I pass it on. Depending on how work goes it might need a couple to get it clean enough to pass it on…

[spitfiredealer]

So today the jacket went with us to pick up a millstone to go into the path we are building.

pretty big and heavy old thing.

I love going to these reclamation yards as there all kinds of stuff to look at

There happened to be a renowned cafe nearby called The Super Sausage Cafe so stopped there for a cuppa and breakfast

We have to wait for a crane to get the stone where we need it in the garden. So will get some more pics when we actually lay it.

That mug is sublime…
