@goosehd @Giles Haha I thought this may have been a well trodden path!

As one of my colleagues has remarked who also hates umbrellas: “put your hood up!”

I do like a cheeky umbrella in the bag though, especially if I don’t want to wear an ‘outer’ layer but need a bit of insurance against the ‘sunny Manchester’ weather. It’s grim up North, as they say… but it’s our grim

Since the tote bag did so well. I could see a 14 / 21 oz backpack in the Jan sport style getting some love. I know I’d wear it everywhere.

@long_john86 you are definitely right about “sunny Manchester”…. I live sort of halfway between Sheffield and Doncaster so the weather is never particularly great but it has absolutely poured it down every time I’ve drove to Manchester to visit Rivet & Hide you guys really do have your own weather system!

[long_john86]

@DeeDee85 haha yep bang on. Every outing involves being covered for multiple weather scenarios!

[DeeDee85]

@long_john86 hence the umbrella request is very understandle

[Giles]

Try me. Gosport is the wettest, windiest place I have ever lived.....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles worse than Manchester?!

[Giles]

Dunno, never stayed in Manchester for any length of time....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles I think most of the UK is pretty grim at the minute isn’t it, I work on roofs so maybe see a little too much of the wet stuff through the winter.. still hoping to make it to the party so fingers crossed we can continue this very English conversation about who gets the worst weather in person

@Giles too wet and windy?

[goosehd]

Explains why Alex Thompson and his boat was based out of Gosport.

@Giles too wet and windy?

I really don't mind the rain, but sometimes the constant wind can get to me........

In the UK, our prevailing winds are south-westerlies coming in off the Atlantic. So the wind is predominantly wet and when it hits land and rises, it dumps.

South-westerlies get funnelled up the Solent.......This is now and the white dot is us......

The winds are very light at the mo, which is good as we are taking SAKURA away for a couple of days with friends....

Let’s od some 18 oz vintage.

@Matt Self Edge still has a few pairs of OD 18v 633s in stock, I got a pair from the marketplace last month, and they're really starting to come into their own now!

[Matt]

I was coming here to suggest an indigo dyed 1600 11 oz tee.

@DeeDee85 I also work on roofs and this last 6 months in the UK has been somewhat challenging it’s been the wettest 6 months I can remember!

[Kasi]

Well put this way winter hasn’t been bad compared last to year in UK..
