This is our beloved Pickles who will be missed he passed last Friday he was 18 or 19 years we rescued him 14 years ago. He was such a good pet and helped our daughter through her anxiety....

I’m Eric from Whitby, Canada. I’ve been into denim and heritage gear for about three decades, though the interest started earlier—always wearing things until they fell apart and loving how they aged. My first step into raw denim was Levi’s shrink-to-fits back in high school: stiff, uncomfortable, and I had no idea what I was doing, but I was hooked once I saw them evolve. My first Japanese denim was a pair of Edwins back in ’88. Since then, I’ve tried many brands, but Iron Heart grabbed me for its durability, fabrics, and the community around it. Outside of denim, I work in accessibility and mobility solutions, helping people stay safe and independent at home. Off the clock, I’m usually at live shows, hunting for vinyl records, going tio Disneyor or following cycling (the Tour de France is a yearly obsession). I joined the forum to see how others live in their denim, discover new pieces, and share the obsession. Motto: “Buy once, cry once. Wear it hard, make it yours.”

RE: Anyone watching the Tour de France this year?
The ongoing rivalry between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling chapters in Tour de France history. If both riders stay healthy and avoid crashes this year, we’re in for an absolutely epic battle. What’s truly incredible is how evenly matched they’ve been — over the course of the last four Tours, where they’ve traded victories (two apiece), the total time difference between them is just 1 minute and 25 seconds. Less than 90 seconds over four grueling three-week races — that’s virtually nothing in a sport where one bad day or tactical error can decide everything. It’s a testament to just how elite both riders are, and how deeply they’ve pushed each other to their limits.
My wife and I are also huge Wout van Aert fans. He’s one of the most versatile riders of this generation — a true all-terrain machine who can sprint, climb, time trial, and support his teammates without ego. But more than just his talent, it’s his attitude and humility that make him such an easy rider to root for. He races with grit and grace, and he always seems to leave it all out there.
I’ve been a lifelong cycling fan — it all started back in the days of Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault. That era had it all: drama, grit, and larger-than-life personalities. Then came the reign of Miguel Indurain, whose quiet dominance and time trialing power defined the early ’90s. Every generation since has had its heroes, but there’s something particularly special about this current one — the sheer unpredictability, the attacking style, and the depth of talent across teams.
As for Lance Armstrong, I could never quite get behind him. Beyond the doping, which obviously casts a shadow, it was always his arrogance and “holier-than-thou” demeanor that put me off. He rode with a chip on his shoulder and often treated teammates and rivals with disdain — it made it hard to admire his accomplishments, even before everything unraveled.
But the sport has come a long way. With riders like Pogačar, Vingegaard, van der Poel, Evenepoel, and van Aert lighting up every race they enter, cycling feels more alive and competitive than ever. If this year’s Tour plays out the way we hope, it could go down as one of the greatest editions in history.

RE: Does anyone else not *get* chainstitch runoff on shirts?
I love them and its one of those things if you know you know. If someone asks or tells me I have a thread hanging I simply say no it's the chain-stitch runoff and it binds the universe together...
