Random conversations

[popvulture]

I'm really the same way, trying to focus on a couple pairs of jeans at a time — I try really hard to just stick with one, but I do like mixing it up. I've realized that shirts are sort of an area I don't wanna focus on much anymore unless I see something that absolutely blows my mind, because frankly I really just wear t-shirts 99% of the time. If I lived somewhere cooler, it'd be a different story (sigh, dreams...).

If I lived somewhere I could wear heavy jeans, a tee, and a leather jacket all the time, I'd be the happiest dude ever haha.

if XHSBB came back, I'd get those immediately. But i'll probably hold off on the indigo since i'm loving my current rotation.
@popvulture i hear that, i usually just wear a tee too. and if its chilly, the flannels are just more comfy than a denim shirt. but my 18oz and my 33-blk are super comfy too. Just defaulting to comfort is my excuse lol. As far as a leather jacket, I'm just waiting for the unicorn hide that checks all my boxes. It'd have to be truly perfect, but i realize that's not likely.

[popvulture]

@WhiskeySandwich I tend to think you can't get a truly perfect leather jacket, BUT... you can get damn close.

@popvulture @WhiskeySandwich @chrisjohnnick @Mister_Brue @Oaktavia @Mizmazzle I had a hard time figuring out where to break the random question from the random conversation...I moved everything to here.

[pechelman]

@goosehd sounds like an appropriate question for the random questions thread

[goosehd]

@pechelman Touche. I had a difficult time trying to figure out where the conversations veered off course from the original question re: the overdyed flannel to the conversations that ensued in the random questions to which you seek an answer thread.

To make things easier for all of the participants involved, I moved the entire conversation to the random conversations thread.

This hopefully will be a better place to continue those discussions.

Since I never met a thread I didn't derail, maybe I should just hang out in here all the time.

The fluid nature of conversations where people share an interest

[goosehd]

@Brian It was pretty much the point of when I created this thread. A pub hangout where everyone could just ramble without interference…(as long as the tenets of the forum weren’t crossed).

1. No Politics
2. No Discrimination (period)
3. Just have fun while being respectful.

@popvulture @WhiskeySandwich @Mister_Brue @Mizmazzle

Okay I chose the Untucked 17oz duck CPO for my main shirt this year. After seeing @twin's recent photos of his heavily faded 666 duck and how far he pushed his honeycombs, I was hugely inspired by his fades. I want to see if I can fade my Untucked to the level that shows 'combs and fade lines after heavy wear the same way denim does. So it'll be XHSib (starting Halloween), the 140 Type 1 and the Untucked for my pants, jacket and shirt favored faders this (school) year.

I loved catching up on all that, thanks guys @Oaktavia @popvulture @WhiskeySandwich it makes me happy that more people on this lovely planet of ours share the same brain as me and plan months into the future what they will be wearing ️

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 my bad I meant to tag everyone involved in the convo. I agree with your sentiment too!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia oh yeah, damn, i see em now... I always feel like my Ducks will never fade, but it sure looks good well used. I'm wearing my 888D right now and have yet to wash. Gonna keep these going primarily rotating with my 21oz indigo. I'm def going for some tough fades on these ducks. I'm not super huge on high-contrast, but I'm going as high as possible on these - as mild as it may be. Psyched to see your work on that Untucked. Gonna be a good look man.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@DeeDee85 Def, its interesting to see a 'plan'. even a loose one. I try and pick an item or two to focus on or gravitate toward racking up wears on in a given season, but I keep a lot of wiggle room for variety.

[DeeDee85]

No worries at all @Oaktavia i genuinely enjoyed reading about everyone’s “methods” @WhiskeySandwich I have been trying to concentrate on 1 pair of jeans, 2 or 3 shirts and 1 type iii through the warmer months and will switch to heavier stuff when it cools down. I’m going to put some miles into my kersey western this winter..

[WhiskeySandwich]

@DeeDee85 I'm def a fan of the kersey, i'd love to try that fabric, it looks amazing.

Also, I def look forward to colder times when i can double up on shirts, I love having a slimmer flannel under a denim shirt.

[pechelman]

@Oaktavia interested to see that 189 after you give it some hell! Are you planning to wear this under the 140? Could be you get those interesting combs you're chasing and some cool indigo/grey crocking as well...

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich Hell yeah dude, let's push these ducks and fade 'em. Even 'high' contrast with the duck will be low compared to others, of course. It's a comfortable cut too, the work shirt CPO.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia LETS DO IT.

weird how i go for 'high' contrast on my low contrast fading ducks and low contrast on my high contrast fading iB. lol The iB just kinda do it anyway, I havent really been wearing them much at all since hitting 100 wears, cuz it got hot and had other pairs, but i'll probably be washing them about every handful of wears to wash them out.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich hahaha right on, my pair of 21ib is low contrasty while also being high contrasty too. I dig em that way as well.
