Pants are covered in salt after the walk to the subway today.  Special shoutout to everyone not wearing shoes with any traction and kicking up slush on my pants, much appreciated!

Winter starts in ten days. Minneapolis got the memo a bit early. The windchill is under -20F and I could swear I got frostbite on my hand filling my car this morning.

Temperatures in Celsius for the internationals…

Holy cow! I'm going to stop complaign about the cold here. It's definitely the coldest December I can remember though.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I saw Denver had weirdly low temps recently so I'm assuming a lot of us are suffering.

I have managed not to bust out the down yet. I have a killer Marmot that's reminiscent of a Canada Goode style minus the coyote fur but it's not as cool as a deck or a shearling (today's choice). If we start hitting negative double digits I will look like this:

I got some schmutz on the seat of my beetle busters last night. Irritating. The worst part is not knowing what it is.

Wow guys, it doesn't get below about 9c/40f here. -23c would do my head in!

Gimme a beach chair and some sunnies and I'm all set.

It's not cold until your skin splits open from the wind

So I've been trying to buy goods not made in countries such as China, Vietnam, Cambodia,… I bought some Everlane t-shirts and in short: they're shite... I've bought some Flint & Tinder (I initially wrote Flint & Tender but that sounded so much like a gay softcore vid that I quickly checked the name) tees, they're coming in tomorrow.

Because I needed new tees STAT and because I can't spend 50 € on fancy Jap made ones, I bought a three-pack of Hanes beefy tees... They're fucking EXCELLENT.. I can buy 'm for 5 $ a piece... But they're made in Cambodia 

Point is though: why would I spend 25 $ on a US made tee if it's not good quality, and not even half a decent fit???

Currently looking at buying a Hanes beefy sweatshirt... For 20 €... No doubt would I prefer buying a Strike Gold or Jelado one, but it's just not possible on my budget...

MORALITY STRUGGLE

Just bought three beefy sweatshirts for 40 € shipped. Fuck it. 

[urbanwoodsman]

These aren't bad for the price.

I second American Giant. Good stuff

[Megatron1505]

Those Hanes sweats are pretty good to be honest Eli, they will do the job that you need them for but they won't make you feel like a special little soldier. It's all in our heads dude, but what a wonderful place to live.

I need a sweater mainly to wear in the house as I will have my temp at 17C° indoors. Good for my beer, good for the environment, good for my energy bill.

Those American Giant sweaters look really nice. Defo picking one up later on!..

Motherfucker… 27 € custom fee for some effin boxer briefs?.. Gtfo... 

[Chris]

Damn, that's more than they cost.  Those bastards.

[Megatron1505]

My underwear is the only part of my attire I choose to go cheap on, I generally only wear boxer shorts adorned with either the Batman or Superman logo, have done for years.

[summ3rhays]

Crap. I'm an idiot and put my home zip code with my business address. Didn't realize until the cool scrimshaw knife I've been waiting for is now on its way back to Cali. Rrrgh
