still available for a trade for a denim type III.

up! feel free to ask any questions!

Bump!

@sabergirl our power went out Sunday morning at 6am. Still out now. My house it at the bottom of a big hill, too. So when it gets icy we’re just kinda stuck down there until it all melts. We stuck it out until this morning with our gas fireplace going every couple hours and cooking meals on the grill outside, but we finally just hitched a ride to an Airbnb with power and heat 10 mins away. Got to be too cold inside the house.

Every single year we get a big snow storm in mid Jan to mid Feb that shuts the roads and the city down for a few days, but usually we still have power. I work in hifi medical simulations, so when power is back up, we’re probably going to have a solid week of just resetting and recalibrating stuff. Ugh.

Anyways, yes I’m a fan of TNG for cold weather gear! We also have two North Face stores in Nashville. One at Green Hills Mall with all the fancy fashion trendy stuff, and one at the outlet mall in Opry Mills that has more of the staples and core stuff that I like better. I’ve also seen some higher end north face stuff at TJ Maxx around Oct-Dec, like $800 jackets for $150.

Don’t have a lot of north face that I wear in my day to day, but all of my extreme weather and snow gear is north face. Currently using my snow bibs and huge down jacket and Montana ski gloves in this frigid cold icy nightmare that is upon Nashville right now.

Anyone on here a part of their local IATSE? I work occasionally with 915 as a Stitcher/Dresser/Wardrobe Assistant in Nashville, and just curious if anyone else here did similar work.

up with price drop!

@Chap thinking back, that 20k quote may have been for both teeth to have been worked on, but it was still a big heck no from me.

Still wouldn’t wish that pain from the first one on anyone.

@Matt I had pretty much the exact same situation about a year and a half ago. One of my upper teeth, the second one from the back, was sore and hurting for a couple months. I ignored it, thinking I would bring it up to the dentist for my regular checkup since it wasn’t constant and was on and off. Eventually, it got so bad that it was always throbbing, and then my gums got swollen and infected. The infection spread up into my cheeks and down into my jaw. I couldn’t sleep, it hurt to lay still, it hurt to talk, it hurt to eat, everything fucking sucked. I went to a walk-in dental clinic since I don’t have dental insurance, and they quoted me upwards of $20,000 for root canal, new crown, post-op, etc. Getting the tooth pulled was $200. Easier decision I’ve ever had to make.

When I finally got in to see my regular dentist for a cleaning, they happen to mention that I had something that looked similar on my other side on the bottom. They said it might start to happen in about six months or so. Almost 6 months to the day, I started to feel some slight pain and what not in the tooth that they said it would happen. Got that one pulled as well, because I don’t feel like dealing with any of all the other stuff right now the second one went much smoother and easier.

The crazy thing is, with both of those teeth they were from crowns that I had put in about 20 or 25 years ago. The dentist told me that crowns are only meant to last about that long, sometimes less than that. I didn’t even know that that was a thing. I had them done when I was young, and I guess I just always assumed they were permanent.

bump for trades! Really would love a denim type III in indigo or black in the same size. Also have this listing in the sales section.

Bump!

@northsouthdenimguy just looked at your leather keychain. I’m in Cumming right now with family for Christmas! In-laws are in Buford and sister and brother-in-law are in Cumming.

@mclaincausey I’m with you on the stone crab. I grew in a part of Florida that had a big stone crab fest every year. LOVED it! 15 or so years ago, I played in a band that was playing the fest, and had them pay me in unlimited stone crab at the fest from a place called Frenchy’s.

@Go-For-Chill I think this is the vibe I am looking for in a leather jacket. What style or model is this one?

Sold that Schott I posted a while back. Ended up finding a newer model (519?) that fits a little longer in the body, but similar in the shoulders and arms. Quality is great, but realizing I just really don’t need that much thick leather on a jacket. Would definitely wear it more if I was riding with it!

@Matt I guess I never asked, but now I’m afraid to!

Kinda want to grab one of those for my father-in-law, who used to play trumpet.

IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket. Size 40 / L. Barely worn. Still fresh and crispy, ever so slight wear on the elbows. I think the color was listed as black, but it looks dark blue in certain lighting. The last two pics of the sleeves are the most accurate for color in person.

Feel free to hit me with your trades! Would love another type III in indigo or black denim. Size 40 or something with similar measurements. Whatchu got?

Also cross posted for sale in the sales section.

Approximate Measurements:
Chest - 22.25"
Shoulder - 18.5"
Back length - 25.25"
Sleeves - 25.25"
Waist opening - 20.25"

bump. very open to trading this for another jacket!
