@steelworker damn you but I’ll be the first to concede their there is a major distinction between William and Willem

[flannel slut]

Well corrected sir

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey Nothing like the desert.

[Tago Mago]

@steelworker within the context of getting away my initial assumption was Daniel not Wilem

[motojobobo]

@NickD just noticed your Angel Nieto cap. Very cool! Interested in hearing your story on it if you’d care to share.

[NickD]

@motojobobo

There’s not much of a story to be honest, I’m a big motorcycle racing fan and know of Angel Nieto as a 13x world champion. I saw the hat, liked it, bought it!

[motojobobo]

That’s cool. I wasn’t aware, until recently, of Nieto’s past achievements in motorcycle racing even though I follow it over the last 30 years or so.
Good choice on the cap!

Do you also get nervously excited when you wash a project piece for the first time?

[SKT]

@RobeOfTheMagi absolutely…part of the fun. It’s always exciting for me to see where a piece is headed.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@RobeOfTheMagi dude, totally. the longer i hold out on that first wash, the more nervous i get too. cant have my creases shifting lol . If you do it frequent enough, crease/fade shift just becomes part of it i guess. If you get a new one every time i guess it doesn't wear out as fast?

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I just gave my IHSH-33t its first wash and I'm really happy that the creases in the armes emerged back were they were supposed to be and that there is no marbling.

My washing machine has a mind of its own, so I can never really be sure what it really decides to do when I turn the spin off.

Let's talk CPO vs denim jacket.

What do you choose?

[ZackB]

@RobeOfTheMagi modified denim jacket or non-modified?

[ARNC]

@RobeOfTheMagi I think you’ve been around long enough to know that the correct answer is both (but not necessarily at the same time)

Yesterday was a CPO day, today was a type III day – I wouldn’t want to give either of them up!

Both of course :).

[ZackB]

@RobeOfTheMagi I definitely prefer the CPOs and jackets with pockets. If I had to chose I think I’d go with a denim jacket though. Just prefer the look over a cpo personally but there are quite a few cpo shirts I’d like to get . I think @ARNC nailed it with both.

Which do you prefer?

[ARNC]

@ZackB Either way, the pockets are essential - they make life so much easier at venues where a bag is not allowed/discouraged. You just need to remember that CPOs don’t have internal pockets!

[Blueband]

@RobeOfTheMagi CPO for me, fits/ Suits my body type better.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I love denim jackets but only if they are really short. I have never owned a CPO shirt. They look splendid online, however I don't know how they might look on me.
