Wabbidashery… aka, The Heritage Heaven Tour

Great update, that jacket looks at home in the boat!
-
I’ll have to admit, I’ve never seen camping quite like that before! Looks like a great one to introduce the kids to sleeping in a tent.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

I’m going to round out my leg now with a few more pics of the wabash on holiday. The weather really picked up and there wasn’t much occasion to wear it, but it did get a bit of use as a blanket on the beach (I’ll make sure to wash it before sending on).
We did the usual days out when the weather was cooler, visiting parks / forests and towns. The wabash was a great companion and I find myself wishing I had one in my wardrobe. I’ll be keeping an eye on the seconds market for one.
Want to thank the IH crew and @neph93 for organising this tour. I loved being involved, but also feel I should apologise for my leg being underwhelming. We had a bit of a health scare within the family (everything’s fine!) but the timing meant I couldn’t commit as much as I’d like, or the forum deserves, and for that I’m sorry!!
I’ll be reaching out to @Cutlasshound to arrange transfer of the jacket, and I look forward to seeing what comes next!!

@Mister_Brue I won of course, but had to pretend I didn’t as one of my opponents was a very competitive 7 year old
-
@Mizmazzle dude, it was “glamping” so we had to do nothing to set the tent up. There were even beds in the tent
. My wife wanted to try camping without the initial outlay and to retain a bit of comfort. Unsurprisingly she is unconvinced and is definitely a hotel/apartment person - I can’t see her agreeing to camping again. And to be fair I’m not some intrepid outdoorsman and prefer something a bit more luxury myself!Meanwhile the campsite was in a petting zoo for kids with funfair and stuff.
-
@jerkules not at all underwhelming (and I completely agree with @Mizmazzle about your leg).
-
@Mister_Brue is doing a great job here on the IHJ-120 thread at the moment!

TRENDY TO HAVE SHABBY CLOTHES:
Jørn Bjørn bathes in beer to wear out his clothesWorn and shabby work clothes are the latest fashion. It is so in that the clothes can be bought with stains and holes.
The trend is in good taste with actor at Hålogaland Teater, Jørn Bjørn Fuller-Gee.
For him it's a hobby to wear out or fade
their clothes. To get a good fade, Fuller-Gee may put in more effort than most.
He bathes with his clothes on in beer.And he makes sure that they can go for a ride in bad weather.
- When it rains, it's great, then I get on my bike. Then they become perfectly moist to mold to the body.
That's what Fuller-Gee tells us on Weekend Morning Saturday.
- I have also been in a hurricane simulator in Japan, he says.
I think it's about security
To give one's clothes a sign of use and aging, or FADING patina, is a popular trend. The clothes are to be seen on the catwalk.
- Fashion's most important task is to reflect the present.
That's what fashion editor in KK, Ida Elise Eide Einarsdóttir, says.
She also sees that the interest in wearing work clothes outside of work is trendy.
Eide Einarsdóttir believes that this is because people are looking for something safe and stable.
- Because in a world in crisis, I think that many, both designers and consumers, are looking for a safer haven. They want something stable, and in many ways that is what work clothes represent.
The fashion editor emphasizes that this is a trend that has been seen before, and which will become popular again later.
So there's no reason to throw away your clothes when fashion takes a step forward.
-
The clothes are of good quality, so they are made to last. The clothes are made to be used and often become nicer when you wear them with a patina, she says.
-
Personalize the clothes
Ingunn Grimstad Klepp is professor at the Consumer Research Institute SIFO. She emphasizes that not all clothing can withstand so-called patination.
But she has the sense that more people have fun and makes the clothes personal.
- We are in a situation where clothes have been mass-produced for a long time. It is a global production, and very similar clothes are produced. Patination is a way of making the clothes more personal, she says.
Fuller-Gee agrees that his hobby is all about personalizing the clothes.
But for him the patination is about much more than making the clothes look cool.
-
I have made friends all over the world who do the same thing. Clothes bring people together, quite simply.
-
Everyone must wear clothes! If you can get hold of clothes that make you go out more, and that make you not take life so seriously, then it's great fun, he says, says the actor.
(jørn Bjørn Fuller-Gee finds great joy in creative ways to give his clothes marks and stains)
