I must admit I would envy you he clear cold days……...good test of the clothes!

haven't been out that way for a few years now (Statoil days) and hopped around Ekofisk and Ormen Lange for a while.

Snehvit is up the Barents Sea way isn't it...…...quite a lot going on up there I hear right now...……..are you that far North?

It’s -36F today.  One thing I love about Alaska, I can comfortably wear 25oz denim and flannels every single day of the year.

.  I think you kind of have to wear 25OZ denim and UHFs,every day,just, to be comfortable.

The artistry of Japanese weavers was too much for it I assume. Excellent.

I’m in Bodø, btw. Not as far north as Snehvit, by a long shot, but still about 150km north of the artic circle. After 20 years here I still forget how much country there is to the north of us. A plane to Oslo takes 90 min from here, but it is also 60min up to Tromsø.

The pocket linings on this shirt are so soft!  I just put my hands in there for the first time today.  So cozy!

During the sale I couldn’t resist to getting of these beauties
Sorry for the bad picture .
Comfy shoes as usual..

[Paul9221]

Great fit @thomas01 !  Are those some Wesco slippers?

[T.J.]

Thanks @Paul9221
No WESCO Slippers 
This are some lambskin Houseshoes I bought at a Christmas Market a few years ago ..

So there's another Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in VA.  This one is way cooler than the one in DC….

Here we are looking at an android.  AN ANDROID!!!!

[Matt]

An F-14 Tomcat that is credited with one MiG kill…

SR-71 Blackbird, or the Cobra Night Raven if you're in the know…

Le Concord…

And this adorable little baby plane.  Probably for baby pilots…

[neph93]

Wow! Great stuff @Matt. Are you a suitable size for any of the items on our current world tours? Seems to me you’d be good at that.

[Matt]

I don’t think so.  That stuff usually runs on the larger side and I  think and I’m more towards the medium range.  We’re actually going to look at an Airstream next weekend so I may be starting a thread sooner rather than later.  Fingers crossed.

Fun Fact on the 252… when security at the museum tell you there’s no pocket knives allowed on the premises and your car is parked a mile away you can stash it in the inside pocket with no trouble after walking outside briefly to pretend you’re walking to the car.

Anyone put in a lot of wear and have any progress pics on these? I'm thinking of grabbing one with a Christmas gift card I was given from my parents. They commented that "All of the people in the product pictures look exactly like you from the neck down." and I said "It helps that basically my entire wardrobe is from them." 

[Paul9221]

It's a wonderful shirt but, due to my climate, I don't get to wear it often enough to make much progress in the fade department.  Still, I'd never sell it and highly recommend it.

[cander49]

Thanks! How much warmer is it than a comparable CPO without the blanket lining?

Oh, it's toasty for sure!  I'd say that it's just a little cooler than a 21oz type III over a UHF.  Just barely.

Oh man. You guys are definitely tempting me…
