Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

@long_john86 all you need is an IHG-097 and you got winter beat

[long_john86]

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot haha absolutely! A daily driver of mine in this weather. Also recently got a bandana to go around the neck as a sort of underlayer (for when commuting on the bike) but I have no idea how to wear or style them so it’s in the back pocket for now!

chocks away! time to bust out the B-6

@popvulture great fit on the 634...how tall are you? trying to snag the next drop of 634-XHS

[popvulture]

@bluemantra thank you! I'm 6'2", 200lbs and wear a 34 in these. If you're on the taller side like me, I've learned that it's good to keep an eye on the rear rise. In my experience, between 15.5 and 16" is great — any less and you run the risk of waking around looking like you've got a wedgie.

[long_john86]

@endo superb! How did you find sizing for the vest in comparison to the N1 jacket?

[bluemantra]

@popvulture I'm increasingly convinced the 634 cut is only for those > 6'

[popvulture]

@bluemantra they're definitely good for the Stretch Armstrongs. They do get a little funny in the top block sometimes, I've found, but with a little persistence they've become my go-to. I still love the 888 the most in terms of comfort up top, but I get grumpy about the taper.

Thanks @long_john86 that's boss style. I can't find the pic but there's one with Haraki wearing this combo that inspired me. Both, the vest as well as my N1 jacket are XL, but I got the vest tailored so it's more fitted.

[long_john86]

@endo Very nice indeed. I like the phrase ‘boss style’ - sounds like the start of a new thread…
Thanks for the info - looks like you have a great tailor!

[jdwaid]

@tody curious about the patina on your right boot. How did that develop?

[goosehd]

@jdwaid Looks like it is light reflecting in the image and not any specific patina or wear.

[jdwaid]

@goosehd I was wondering about that.

[tody]

@jdwaid indeed, just a combination of shitty lighting and a bad cellphone camera. boots still look fairly new.

@popvulture I’m currently looking to buy that AA half zip. Did you size down from your normal IH size? It looks a perfect fit on you.

[motojobobo]

Me too! Interested in your AA half zip sizing info

[popvulture]

@IrishHeart @motojobobo yep I just got a L, which is pretty much my size in just about everything but IH (which is almost always XL). It’s a beast of a sweater!
