After a 3-day weekend chasing after a 2 year old, I need a weekend. The office can be a refuge.

It’s IH Delivery Day! Great sticker @Steve!

If only it wasn’t 10 degrees here I would wear it out, about to put a UHF and boots on instead!

Dressed up my 727 Chinos for a meeting.

A lot depends on technique and the individual tattooer and their process. I saw a guy getting tattooed at a convention last summer by a celebrity tatter, the traditional machine was turned up to some crazy RPM and the tatter was bashing that bad boy in fast.

No joke, I stood there for the whole thing and it was just 25 minutes from drawing it on by hand to a fully lined, shaded and coloured tattoo about the size of a palm. For £400 or something like that I saw get counted out after. The tatter must have made serious bank that day.

Anyway, the person being tatted was having it done on a relatively less painful area, back of forearm, and already had copious tattoos - he was a tatter himself - and he was wincing and gripping the edge of the seat like it was his first time. It was gnarly to watch.

@Ral1121 Grab your best fitting pair of jeans right now and measure their dimensions (using the IH measuring methods), and go from there. For the 888, I will say you should also pay attention to the knee measurement if you're a larger-thigh guy like me.

Generally, I say go for the larger size though if you're in between. While there will be some give in the denim, I'd rather that that stretch made the jeans more comfortable, rather than make a too-tight pair of jeans just tolerable.

"Coming soon" means what in this case? Going into production, at the factory, on the boat?

@WhiskeySandwich said in IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG:

@AdamJ i must be colorblind, because i cannot tell from that photo if they are copper or silver.

Thank god you said it, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a black and blue/white and gold dress situation going on. To me the rivets read as copper and the button as silver.

@dechant They look like they've earned it!

@nurunuru I got the shorts in the same indigo sashiko, and the temptation to "suit up" with the blazer is hard to resist.

More than a photo, that's a colourway for a flannel.

@don_pipone Thanks for joining me in banging that drum.

I came here to mention work shorts. I saw a pair of denim shorts on someone the other day which were basically shorts with work-pant-style main pockets and then a tool loop on the one thigh, and a thin screwdriver pocket on the opposite thigh (like on the bibs, basically). Internal butt pockets.

Thought "Iron Heart'd make a better version of that". Seems perfect for any 21oz or 17oz Duck fabric that isn't enough to make trousers out of.

Exhibit B:

I had to explain grammar to a three year old the other day. Little Miss H thought that "wink" conjugates like "drink", so if "drink" = "drank" in the past tense, then "wink" = ....

On the one hand, I like that she seems to be trying to apply some sort of logic to why she can't just add "-ed" to the end of a verb to get to the past tense in every case and making connections between words that sound the same. Sadly, English is a bonkers language where there are more exceptions to grammatical rules than actual rules. Sometimes, that can get one in trouble.
