Made an XHS morale patch for my Goruck from hem cutoff scraps.

I use these pattern hooks that I got locally from Imogene + Willie here in Nashville. I've tried to source different ones or even make my own, but for $3 a piece they are hard to beat.

@T4920 said in BROTHERHOOD OF BIB:

Still holding about for a Hickory bib re-release, or a lucky find on the secondary market..

I'd 100% arrive in Hamburg head to toe in that fabric

Oh yea?

Also, U2 sucks.

I have a lot, but the ones that jump out first are:

This UHF I have where the lines match up perfectly on the back collar, yoke, and back panel:

How the panels on all IH shirts are always perfectly mirrored. Most notably on UHF pockets:

And how the lines are pattern matched perfectly on seams:

My Grandfather was a pilot and a navigator in the Navy and Air Forces during WWII. The plane he was on went down somewhere over the Philippines in 1945, and he floated in the ocean for a few days before being rescued. Somewhere over the years, the Type A-11 that he wore (and was wearing at that time) found it's way into my hands. It wasn't working, and is rusted out in areas (obvs) but has always meant a lot to me. I finally found another one from the same maker (Elgin) and the same year (1944) and decided to pick it up. It is also in perfect working order and has a period-correct olive watch band on it! Beyond stoked to be wearing this piece and think of Grandpop every time I put it on!

Here's his original watch, which I have on a shelf on our family gallery wall:

And here is the one I just picked up:

@sabergirl Just 3 for now. 21oz indigo, black wabash, and hickory. The wabash is by far my favorite.

If you just need some time alone, tell your kids that you're in time out and you'll be back in 10 minutes.

Local denim makers here in Nashville, Imogene + Willie, hosted a Pinewood Derby race in their backyard on Thursday night. I entered on a whim and won first place.

Also, when naming and painting my car, I learned that there were different spelling of Selvage and Selvedge depending on the country. The more you know!

Me waiting for someone else from Nashville to join the forum

Damn do I need to jump on a plane tomorrow?

Which part of Florida were you in? I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and also lived in Tallahassee for a couple years while my wife went to FSU. I do enjoy going back to visit family occasionally, but also very happy to have actual seasons where we live now.

You'll just have to order online or coordinate a visit to a shop on a vacation like the majority of us do. I would love having a local shop to try on things as much as everyone else, but I also understand that IH is trying to limit the channels of sales to be able to maximize their output of quantity per shop/market. I'm sure it's not personal to your local shop, there just isn't enough supply for every big city to have a shop.

@popvulture Same! bonus points if the belt had metal studs on it!

Looking good! Haven't heard of the Faint in a long time, think I saw them a couple times back in the day. Now I'm gonna be spinning old Saddle Creek albums all week.

You've made yourself a reversible SB/PIQ vest!

I've had this thought a couple of times. You could always just say sale pending after payment and during shipment, and then say sold once the buyer has confirmed delivery and all is good to go.

I have a 24" GAH ball chain necklace with a Mini Belt Loop Buddy, 2A Cutout Shazam, and 2 sterling silver IH charms (these charms may be from OGL, and not GAH)

I grabbed this exact setup from Olly, who got it from Alex. I wore it a bunch for about a year or two, but lately haven't been giving it the attention it deserves. Josh Warner even held it at the 20th anniversary party and complimented how good it was looking. The chain I believe is their #3, although it may have been made before they were calling it that. Last pic shows the chain next to a GAH #10 for size comparison. Fits absolutely perfectly into the mini BLB. I'm not sure if the 2 IH charms are made by Josh, they may be from a limited IH and Obbi Good Label run, but they are how I picked this setup from Olly.

I'm looking to trade it for some IH pieces. Mostly looking for stuff on my wants list, size L or XL (or something with about a 22" p2p) or waist size 32 or 33 (or a 16-16.5" flat waist).

See pics and feel free to ask any questions.

I'd be happy to jump onto another US leg here in Nashville, if timing would work out to be January or February!
