@StarsSuck I think that's part of it for sure.
But also fuck fast fashion, consuming for the sake of being on trend, and throwing things out prematurely.
You know those videos of kids that freak out when their Dad shaves his beard for the first time? Like they're seeing a different person that took over their Dad's body? Like the running and hiding behind mom kind of stuff?
I like to think that's how my kids think of my IH flannels and denim. If I ever turn the corner in a sub par flannel, I hope they react in terror as if some important piece of their father has been unforgivingly changed. hahaha

Big love to @JoshC
Josh has done his usual magic to bring my very first IH purchase (OD 634) back to fight another day. Super impressive and quality work (not that I should be surprised).
I also scored the new look book. Shit, that's a cool idea! If only I could change my body parts that easily. Would a Michael Phelps top half and a Usain Bolt bottom half work?

I always feel a bit soppy some mornings, but waking up and putting on my Iron Heart jeans just brings a smile to my face, I get to experience these fabrics in my life and it is just blissful.
Have a great week ahead, and do something kind for yourself today...

I just spent a week with dear friends, walking the footpaths of Suffolk. I am profoundly grateful for my interesting little life.

…and once again. I was meant to be on, in, under, and around water. Nothing puts me at peace than that feeling.
Even the guides noticed and remarked on that today…

@goosehd I could do without that sky water that just shows up in these weird drops that get all over everything and make driving annoying. Other than that, I'm with you.

@goosehd said in Random Love (anti-rants):
As soon as
shehesayssaid yes, diving from then on. -
@goosehd I think my son might’ve been about 10 and we were snorkeling in Bon Aire and since beach diving was quite easy and popular,he would see the divers coming up and they’d wave to him,and he said I want to do that. So we took a resort course,and the rest is history. He at one point was on a scuba trip,in Israel,where his group got to go diving with guys from the Israeli Navy in the Red Sea.

I sent over my much-loved pair of 555-XHSib (6+ years old, 700+ wears, close to falling apart) to IHUK for some repairs, but unfortunately they never got there and UPS recently confirmed they lost them.
@JoshC offered me a free replacement pair.
Legendary IHUK customer service!

A random rant turned into random love for recent Huckberry customer service.
I’ve been singing the praises of these Suede runners made by Luca, Huckberry in house shoe brand. Well yesterday I noticed that the sole was coming unglued, big time on the left shoe and a small section n the right shoe. Purchased last August I thought I’d be SOL.
Instead they offered me:
- A full refund
- 20% off my next purchase
- Keep the suede runners and repair them (preferable) or discard (no way). I have Shoe Goo but I’m worried about my repair being sloppy.
I have a replacement pair from a different brand on the way.

@goosehd I relate this to myself looking at Giles travel adventures

I've been doing some challenging archival research that's brought me in contact with other disciplined researchers and archivists across continents. Just in our limited exchanges, and in addition to all the data, I've been able to share in some of their passion, and them in mine. Amidst all the decay, there is still some wonder at all the Internet makes possible.
