Amazing come up!!
Bootleg or legit?
Not that it matters, it’s very cool either way, and now you have a new BOC shirt for yourself just in time for the new album release… -

I thought the same thing - im stoked to hear the full length after the teaser singles ive heard
My guess is its most likely boot although the tee itself is usa made so who knows
-
@GraemeE fuckin' eh....how many goats did you sacrifice to the Thrift Godz to get your hands on this?!?!?!
-
@Inorganic my current running theory is that my band tee finds at goodwill are a result of people moving to portland to live out their hipster fantasies and then giving up and donating all of their merch on their way out of town back to their home states
-
-
@Inorganic indeed it is.
Either need to acquire a new tree for it or hold onto it for a few more years until one of the ones I currently have wired and planted in the ground is ready -
At a 50% off event, acquired an Orvis Big Bear flannel shirt, which is essentially a CPO, for the price of a cup of joe. Stateside folks should know of this storied brand.

A grail has landed. A Pfaff 545. This was on the production floor at Langlitz Leathers in Portland for 40 years….the lady who used to sew on it just retired and I learned that back in the day they’d give ‘stars’ to seamstresses who found errors before garments shipped. I feel like I picked up an important part of PDX history.
-
@Inorganic that’s f’n cool!!!
-
@goosehd RIGHT!!!!! I’m so stoked but beauty is gnarly. I gotta get a servo motor to slow it down, this fucker will see thru your fingers.

-
@scarfmace ha! I wasn't able to meet her, but her protege gave me a run down of the machine. I'm working my way thru projects with it - but I need to put a different motor to slow it down. The current set up is way above my paygrade.
-
@Inorganic can you put a variable motor speed control on the current motor? Some motors have the ability and cheaper than trying to find another motor.
-
@goosehd good question. The current setup is with a clutch motor: fast stitches ~1k-2k/min and with reasonable torque. I plan to remove that and in its place install what's called a 'servo motor' which has variable speed control, more torque and much much slower, down to 1stitch a second or less in some models. I was so surprised to see that all of the machines on the Langlitz floor were clutch (fast) motors, I wonder what set up Iron Heart has for their machines.
