2010 Edition - Iron Heart & Triple Works edition WAYWT

[Guest]

I didn't know it was in right now. Has been around for a long time. Got my first Nato bracelet with Timex military watch, handwound, resin case at age 12. Lost it. Darn it. Hard to find now. I just think it would be rather easy to make a strap like that in an IH design. No other Japanese brand has that, afaik.

….or simon you could just work on the cowboy look like me....?  J/K,  you're doin' just fine, everyone for the most part grows into their own style over time.  Hell, I'm still experimenting with mine and I'm WAY older than you.

Damn D, I need that Type III! What size is yours? I am being lazy by not looking around but I feel like I have too much to catch up on.

[Dchill]

Nah, Lando it's just my vest over a hoodie of mine.

Oh damn. I thought you came up on some new ish.. Looks good anyhow!

Experimenting with cuffing today (always been a stacker):

FH 1005
Redwings

Hitting the bar this afternoon - sitting out in the sun, lovely weather.

• Dior glasses (I could sleep with these)
• Sunspell of England polo
• IHxSE07BK
• Dior sneakers

First pic came out of funny… I tried playing with the colours but I either looked like a lemon or a Guido so I just left it at that...

Hectic, I think those heft Redwings can take a bigger cuff than that. Shoes look very cool, though.

Seul, how do you like the Sunspell polos so far? Washed them already? If so, how did they come out.

Plenty of wabi on the 'wings

Yup! Looking good. Give them a good coating of shoe polish though. It will make the color come out even better. I'd use something nice'n'greasy with bees wax or lanolin for extra waterproofing. Don't forget the welt, of course.

Haven't washed them yet, first day I wear one of them. Like 'm a lot, nice fabric.

I think they came with a little tub of mink oil, I'll have a look in the cupboard.

[Guest]

Mink oil will do nicely. Give them a good cleaning with just water beforehand. Repeat every three to six months or so. The mink oil will darken them a little. Shoe polish won't usually darken the leather permanently.

Seul, yes, the fabric and color look very nice. Might be a good alternative to my Smedleys for when I can't stitch them up anymore. That's why I'm so interested in your review once you have them a while.

I will only be wearing these 2 SoE polos and a RL polo this summer: review coming next spring!.. 

[Guest]

That works. I got time. I have half a dozen Smedleys in the closet that need some mending under the arms. I know how to do it but it's an activity I thoroughly loathe. LOL! My only RL polo I ever had is holding up much better than the Smedleys. It's 18 years old now and I still wear it around the house. Smedleys are so fine they have a life span of 5-8 years with me and they need some mending usually after only one or two years.

I think that this post would be more accuratley entitled WAYNWT.  Mrs Giles slinked out of her IH skin tonight, and left this behind:

Looks good and slinky.

Looked even better with me in it.
