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.

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?

RE: What's your IH secret pleasure that nobody knows??
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:

RE: The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
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:

RE: Random Announcements
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!

Well, someone will spend those dollars and get the bug, then they'll eventually find their way here to the real thing.

RE: Unpopular opinions
@endo was out for lunch with a buddy the day he died, and he was talking about how great eraserhead was. I watched it that night and thought, wow this is the worst movie I have ever seen.

RE: EDC - What's In Your Pockets?
I've got a couple Benchmade Osbornes that I use for EDC, but looking to grab a multitool to have in my backpack. What's a good one? I used to have a Leatherman maybe 25 years ago (not sure which model) but curious if there are other great options out there.
Don't need a ton of things on it, but mostly looking for it to have a nice pliers and screwdriver option. Maybe some small saw or something. Don't really need files, knives, or whatevs.
EDIT: just realizing this post may have been better suited in the EDC thread. Feel free to move if needed, mods.
