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

Also, U2 sucks.

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?

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

@biigbab it would probably take the color well, but the stitching would likely still be white.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I don't usually have this many t-shirts hanging, but I tend to have more hung up when it starts to get hotter out. All on track shelving, so I can move some of the shelves around when I want to mix it up. I also swap out the fur and felt hats for straws, which I haven't had to do yet.

Didn't know SJ made a tee, also very excited to discover that they have a white tank. Might have to give those a shot!

Although, with that said, after a few months I usually give in and just decide to work it into the rotation anyways.

If I have a pair that I'm keeping tucked away for later, I usually try and leave them somewhere that is visible on the daily. Like tucked into the closet and folded with out of season jackets or sweaters. Somewhere where it's out of the way, but still seen weekly. Otherwise, I'll completely forget that I own it and it'll never get used.

Interested in this as well. My favorites from back in the day were the Buck Mason slub tees, which I bought a bunch of when the US made ones were still $28 a piece. Don't know if they're worth the $48 a piece that they are now, though.

My biggest thing that I can't stand with tees are they are either too heavyweight and rigid (even after multiple washes) or the collar is too tight. I like a little bit of breathing room around my neck.

Really want to grab some of these at some point. Part of me wants to ice dye them with different shades of blue here and there.

@Ikeaparty is that a Larch Wood cutting board? Looks just like the ones I have.

bump with price drop!
