My first post in this thread to share my new arrival dungarees!

Thought we were likely saying goodbye to Gus a few weeks ago (feat. my 33). He’s fine, I’m poor and this is him chilling completely better.

25oz 555s in 30c on Holiday in France.

Gus likes cars, doesn’t like when we work on them, and is starting to sleep a lot more now he’s 9. Working Cocker Spaniel. They’re a lot!

Thanks to the gent that is @Kasi I am very happy to submit my entry for membership. These arrived today, at exactly the same time as the Birkenstocks. Which is a very happy coincidence, my wife bought me them without her knowing I had ordered these, and certainly not the connection.

I am going to put these both through their paces in an 18 hour drive through France in Thursday. My cream car seats might not thank me.

I am not a fan of the Rolex hype. I am a fan of green, and I am yet to find a watch that is as comfortable as a Submariner. Pélagos got close.

I love the invisible micro adjustment on the VC Overseas now. That’s on my list next. That or basically any Grand Seiko.

I have been handed down this. It was bought in Botswana or Zimbabwe sometime in the 1960’s when my grandparents were, err, civil servants. I think it is possibly Blesbok.

Oddly this is one of my most prized possessions.

Please delete this or move or whatever. I found myself killing time in London yesterday and popped into Rivet and Hide and it was the genuine highlight of my day. The staff were amazing to a man. I felt welcomed and engaged. I even got to try on the n1 4 minutes after release. My best ever retail experience. You have a customer for life. Even though I didn’t actually buy anything.

I won’t name the other shops I visited here, but I was met with apathy and disinterest, and have been hugely put off buying from them.

The staff are a credit to Rivet and Hide, incredible brand advocates for Iron Heart. I have also left a google review.

This was mine, but is no longer mine.

2007 Land Rover Defender DCPU, had been messed about with by Twisted so it was nearly drivable day to day. 2.4L 4 cylinder diesel engine from a Ford Van. Suspension from a covered wagon, I wish it was as water tight as a covered wagon.

It was excellent in the mud, terrible in wet, and worse in the cold. Useful for British potholes, making friends with strangers and pay mechanics mortgages.

I loved it and hated it in equal measure. Not much over landing to be done in the UK, but did manage some of the further camping pitches at various damp campsites.

I put 20,000 miles on it and I sold it for more than I paid, but crucially not more than I spent.

I miss it. I had my fun. It cost more to run per year than a V8 Vantage.

We embrace the cold and winter. Fires and warm lights, warming drinks and beef wellington for Christmas dinner.

I buy a lot from Markkt. Probably the majority of my clothes. I’ve never sold there, as Vinted, eBay and here are pretty liquid for high end mens clothes. Never had a bad experience with them, and their customer service is excellent. I look forward to their daily drops, though my bank balance doesn’t.

Good luck with all your sales, I wouldn’t be surprised if some end up at mine!

Jeans sold to @Jan_L.

Price drop on the RMC Sweat to £100

@Evan said in IH-634SII 18oz Double Indigo and 2x Real McCoys:

@Daysleepers Hey, mate, what price for the double indigos?

Key detail that! Added to the post.

Next is one of my favourite pieces, and I am sad to see it go but my wife is not of fan of the fit. And she’s in charge.

Joe McCoys Outdoor Pile Fleece Cardigan
This is a true repro of the ones from the 1970s and as such is polyester. It’s thick and pills like crazy on the outside which is definitely part of the charm and design. Velcro pocket closure and amazing details as you’d expect.

Raglan sleeve so not sure how to measure accurately. Those that I can are:
Chest (Pit to Pit): 21.5 inches
Length (Back): 27.5 inches

I’d really like £240 for this including UK shipping.

Next up is is a The Real McCoy’s Military Loopwheel Sweatshirt (USCG / HMC Tanker Patch) in a heather oatmeal/grey loopback cotton with contrast off-white ribbed trims.

£140 inc UK shipping.

Measurements:
Chest (Pit to Pit): 22.5 inches
Length (Back): 26.5 inches
Sleeve Length (Shoulder/Neck to Cuff): 25.5 inches

I’ve been clearing out various bits of the house in preparation for an impending first child. In doing so, I went through some boxes I haven’t touched since we moved 5 years ago and I found a pair of effectively unworn double indigo rarities that I entirely forgot about. Which still don’t fit.

I am taking the opportunity to list a couple of other rarities here too.

I’m based in the UK, happy to ship wherever for cost, and can take advice on tariffs and duty. I have bought and sold here a few times, been on eBay for 21 years.

First up the particularly special ones.

Iron Heart IH-634SII 18oz Tag size 34. These have been worn for maybe an hour, the patch is crispy but I have conditioned it today, and will again before they ship.

Measurements the Iron Heart way:
Waist: 33.5 inches
Thigh: 12.0 inches
Front Rise: 11.0 inches
Back Rise: 15.0 inches
Hem: 8.6 inches
Inseam: 34.0 inches

Looking for £250 including UK delivery.

@Oaktavia right?! I need to lose a few kgs as they don’t really fit me. My XHS have had their first machine wash and are drying right now. Same cut and size, but seem much more forgiving.

I may have to just accept it and move these on shortly!

I just found these buried in some moving boxes from 5 or so years ago. The patch is pretty dry, but these have been worn for maybe an hour then put away and literally forgotten about.

This is great. I’m here for the 2 hour cut, or 6-parter of this.
