@Oaktavia and I appreciate you for a lot of these but imma need to be on your next GAH rotation after the model 10 blessed a fish in Cabo last weekend

Recent chatter in one of the snap back threads with an IH patch sewn on. @Matt suggested New Era blanks and I searched for a blank NE x Carhartt one- I have a couple Ravens ones. I didn't find a NE Carhartt blank BUT Carhartt makes blank flat brims of their own for $27. I also found a beanie color that is Electric Indigo. So I had to grab one of those too. Both will have IH patches sewn onto them. I think I can hand sew them on if I take my time. I can update when I do.

Excellent. It didn’t occur to me to do a beanie but it’s perfect.

IH caps are rare. They can never find the right hat supplier. The hats they use aren’t selvedge or duck or even made in JP. Stick a patch in your next order and buy a $25 blank cap on amazon. Hats for everyone.

I've got a 20th Anniversary IH hat, black wool and MIUSA. I wish I knew where the blanks are from, I absolutely love it.

[Giles]

If we could still get those blanks we would still be using them, but the manufacturer stopped making the bloody things.....

No denim for the next 10 days at least

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago assuming that beer consumption increases proportionally?

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd Getting older apparently also means becoming more responsible, so more fluids but not more beer

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago lightweight?
(Comment, solution or both, up to you )

[goosehd]

En garde

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC we shall discuss over multiple beverages the next time we meet

@Tago-Mago

This also reveals a third interpretation that I had overlooked and means I’ll have to wear denim at the weekend when it’s scorchio!

@Tago-Mago that ‘s rough. You surely have ac, right?!

[RoxRocks86]

Got a roofing job this weekend in town. Definitely a few temps higher and not as breezy as where I’m at, but close enough to the water for a dip afterwards.

[endo]

is that a lot?

[RoxRocks86]

@endo a lot as in temperature? Not by much on paper, just a few degrees. But you can feel the difference & it’s absolutely noticeable depending which part of the island you’re on. It’s also humid & voggy (volcanic fog from Hawaii Island) which makes a big difference with how hot it “feels”. Hits different on different parts of the island. In higher elevations as long as there’s wind, it’s ok. Lower & no wind it sucks big time.
