RIP Legend. This one hits hard for me.

I was just telling my SIL that i grew up wanting to be Francis ("FRAN-SASS" as so eloquently put by Pee Wee).

I also reference the snake aquarium in the pet shop fire scene regularly. I am going to repeatedly cringe as I put this task off over and over again. I'll do it last and pass out from fear but it'll get done.

mekaleka-hi, meka-hiney ho (0% chance i spelled that right)

@Matt I hear that. My children loved him. Me too.

To all of the Hawaiians, thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the current wildfires. Just saw on the news that it’s pretty bad in a few spots.

We have a supplier rep in from Japan (Tokyo) and took him to dinner last night. He has never heard of Iron Heart, but I noticed his phone case and glasses case and had to snap a pic.

@jordanscollected nice. I only really realised the last time I was in Japan quite how massive Porter is in Japan. I would go so far as to say maybe a quarter of people in you see out and about in Tokyo have something by the brand, covering a vast range of styles.

I saw a neat video on Reddit about using a traditional method to make cotton textiles. Not sure where to post it but figured some of you might like to watch it. See here.

I’m trapped at the mall helping the Mrs. Find some work clothes. A time old tale.
Got bored waiting in the dressing room chairs and decided to read up on weather predictions for Colorado winter 23-24

@Matt you may be happy to know…

[Mizmazzle]

Apparently the elite, ultra accurate local meteorologists (LIES!) call the Farmer’s Almanac pseudo- science. But hey, it’s hot AF out right now. I’ll take what I can get!

[Matt]

I’ll be patiently waiting…

I made a denim counter chart using Google Docs and figured some of you more nerdy denim heads out there would like to use one too.

Here is a blank one for you to make a copy and fill out.

Here is my filled out example. I took a few moments to link the forum pages for each piece, that way I can find the links easily and post my fade progress photos without having to search for the item number.

Thanks man, I was using a pen and paper calendar before this and was getting confused with my handwriting and transferring years. The numbers were getting lost in the squares. Now I can edit this document from whatever device I am using that day. It's a simple chart but that's the point.

@Oaktavia dude I love this, had something similar way back when. My laziness got the best of me though so I neglected it.. you may have lit a fire in me though..

[hbg1]

@Oaktavia thanks for sharing this, I haven’t been tracking my first pair but I might make a guesstimate and start using this.
Nothing wrong with being nerdy about it!

[Oaktavia]

@J-IV right on dude, hope you end up using it.

So, I have a new jacket.

Double Helix Indigo Dyed Horsehide.

@endo was selling it in Hamburg, I tried it on and loved it. A few hours later I told him I wanted to buy it. He said, too late, already sold.

Thank you @Madame-Buttonfly and @AdamC for the assist

[AdamC]

Happy birthday @Giles ! Hope you have a great day and its not TOO hot so you can get some miles in the new jacket!
