Random Rants

@Jeanmoreau The buying/selling section of the forum is your friend and many deals can be found…

There's some more entry level brands that should be higher quality than the wrangler, levis, etc.
@Jeanmoreau

I haven't owned this denim myself, but i have their t-shirts and sweats and they are pretty nice quality for the price.

@Jeanmoreau:

And I really hate the feel of this. It’s so thin and cheap feeling. Are there no decent black denim jackets for under 300 dollars??

3sixteen’s type III’s come in at 285USD. The truth is you get what you pay for though. For 150USD more you get a type III that will last a lifetime.

@Bfd70:

I’ll say. For me the wheels didn’t fall off the bus til 45. Up til then i could eat what i wanted. Now same diet same exercise 3” bigger in the waist.

No sugar, no carbs, no meat, no eating after 7, minimal snacking, work out 5 days a week, one beer at a time and very infrequently.  And after all that I’m able to barely hang on to a moderately fit dad bod.  Basically all so I don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on new clothes.

Perfectly fitting Iron Heart is a helluva deterrent/motivator @Matt

[popvulture]

It sure is. I’ve found myself considering that in both directions, haha. Better not gain too much weight in the holidays, but also better not get too aggressive with this diet because I don’t want these 634s falling off… better not get too crazy with the weights cos I don’t wanna size up in shirts

[Matt]

It’s a pretty delicate balance.  ???

@Jeanmoreau every IH Type III is worth it, for the sturdiness, the value of good feelings wearing it, and the story it's going to tell

Agreed…I’m averaging one every six hours. How am I doing on the infrequeny meter @Matt ?

ARGGHHHHHH!!! the two days I'm in Japan over the weekend and IH Osaka is closed for the camp

Oh no bummer man!

Didn't we discuss 'no selling-only members' anymore once @neph93 @Giles ?

Are referring to the recent post regarding gold necklaces?

This and during the week I usually have not much time to spend in the forum to see what's going on. I therefore use the 'View the most recent posts on the forum.' If then one or two pages with mostly selling stuff appears I am off…

Maybe we could come up with a forum feature to “hide” certain sections unless you visit them directly?

I feel like that exists. Just looking for it now in fact.

If not we can see what @AdamJ and @Alex can do with the new platform.

When I first got on the forum there were certain sections that  you couldn’t access unless you were a member. Then one day it went away.

That’s kind of irrelevant as the people that are listing for sale threads are members so it wouldn’t help @Chap’s rant. @neph93 didn’t you set up a post limit to be able to view the B&S boards to stop the scammers a while back? Perhaps that is no longer firing?

[Jett129]

But sometimes someone will inquire about an item and when I check their profile,they’ve only posted in the Buying/Selling section or have almost no posts at all. Technically they’re members.
