Sam doesn't wear the vest, the vest wears Sam 8).

Black armour

Love the black patch…

…and the zipper

I like how they're sewn completely into the jeans.

I've been lusting after some IH jeans with tonal stitching and here they are:

The patch.

Tidy selvedge fly construction.

Bronze hardware.

Will wear them unhemmed but cuffed.

Hidden rivets.

The fit is amazing and comfy although much tighter in the waist than the 633S despite having the same measurements as the 21 oz edition. I'm going to soak them prior to wearing these beauties. It will be very interesting to see how they evolve. Can definitely recommend them to anyone on the fence.

If I remember correctly it's a cow hide.

Doesn't get any better than XHS armour! Enjoy!

Very nice pics! I must admit it took me too long to realize the flag in the last pic says simply EXTRA HEAVY DENIM. I thought it was some sort of anagram first.

Many nails have been disappearing towards the end but big Congrats to Norwich! And @Winchy ;)!

I also like the J1 Chicago Low. Classy footwear.

They are definitely keepers. The duck can be beaten into submission but it will take a while. Wear and washes will help making them settle.

Amazing how Pokemon is still a thing after so many years. When I was a young kid at school we also traded cards. It was the first generation, though, with the first 150 (?) Pokemons. Don't know a thing about what came after but I've seen they've been adding more and more monsters every time. They're really milking this franchise for sure.

@Seul:

Looks like an Australian prison walking court…

The Gosport Redemption

Have fun everyone!

This year's iPhones feel like another S-update with some improvements but with the same design overall. Not bad but also nothing special. Next year will be pretty interesting because Apple will (most likely) adopt 5G, USB-C, a new design and new form factors. Should be a neat package.

Thanks, @AdamJ! Excellent timing 8).

@gaseousclay I was surprised, too, but I applied it on all my leather shoes/sneakers/belts etc. and didn't spare anything. So even the 16 oz bottle was empty pretty quickly. The stuff is that amazing! I then bought the 8 oz bottle but it's aleady hollow so I will need a refill soon.
