      Just the screws from the mod. No glue or anything.

          I got some vintage 1930s metal buttons and replaced the buttons on what is now my favorite hot weather shirt. I also used vintage Talon mercerized cotton thread from the 50s. It was made in Meadville, Pennsylvania. It very closely matches the thread on the inside of the shirt.

                            I got these cedar pouches and large 3 gallon Ziploc bags so I can store my unworn jeans that aren't in rotation. They hang neatly on these heavy duty copper hangers I have. I can fit two pairs in each bag.

                              My first pair of Iron Hearts. These are about ten years old and have been repaired several times to varying degrees.

                                  Much like Reuben's car jack, I got this waistband stretcher online for free. (Don't ask  :)) and I plan on using it when I hand wash my jeans. I'll probably put it inside a large Ziploc bag so I can adjust it tight then seal the bag watertight. I might mod the wood on here to make it thicker too. Or get another and use two at the same time. One for the waist and one for the seam below the waist and yoke.

                                      It amazes me how well the durability of the XHS hold up. I do not know how it is that these hold up the torture I put them through, day after day… always are so very enjoyable to wear from the very first glimpse of them from the bag, from the 200th day you wear something. They are so incredibly durable and beautiful and soft. I feel like my entire quality of life has improved since I became a member of this forum. It has shown me that I can't have it all, but I can have more of what I was looking for.

                                        XHS are very, very special. I've been turning to them more than anything else… Wearing this sort of stuff is a kind of self-soothing for me.

                                          Picked up a major batch of repairs from DC 4 Berlin today.
                                          I can't sing the praise of the work done by Daniel and his Japanese co-worker (whom I have, alas, not met yet) highly enough. Really, really pleased with the care and thoroughness.

                                          Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                                            I recently acquired some dye to attempt to dye one of my UHFs. It appears super blue so I am doing a test. This acid dye is special for dyeing woolen like fibers. It seems like I will also need to purchase some emerald green to achieve the color I am going for.

                                            Edit, yes emerald green is a must
