@BD81 is a good dude to trade with. Smooth transaction, shirt arrived just as described and I’m sure we’ll be dealing more in the future.

RE: IHJ-54 - Brown Chrome Tanned Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket With Collar
Fit looks perfect! Once it softens, it will drape better.

RE: Things that have changed my life in the last 12 months
Got divorced.
Relapsed after a decade in recovery.
Got clean again and reconnected with friends and a sense of serenity in most areas of my life.
Left a promising career in healthcare management for a job closer to home/friends, with less stress, to be able to spend more time with my son.
Took a 50% cut in salary.
Had a promising interview yesterday at a private/for profit where I've worked with several staff members in the past. Great benefits/pay, in a field I'm very experienced in with opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
The last two years have been some of the toughest but most rewarding I've ever experienced.
Hopefully 2017 will have brighter days in store for me. I sincerely wish the same for each of you guys here. I've made some decent friendships with some of you and hope to build more in the future. -
RE: IHSH-101MC - Maroon/Cream Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Western Shirts
Received one of these from a buddy on the forum yesterday. I usually take a XXXL on IH tops but actually fit a XXL in this perfectly. I'll be cold washing and hang drying for sure. This is one of those that the pics just don't do it justice. There's so much depth to the pattern and nothing beats IH ultra heavy flannels. Pics to come…..

RE: In Fitness and in Health
@TrickHell:
especially if you enjoy squats and deadlifts.
Seconded. My main complaint about SL5x5 is not enough deadlifts.
It'd be kinda tough on the body to do many more deadlifts per week while squatting 3X per week. I try to make the most out of my warm up sets, especially on deadlifts, since it's only 1X5.

RE: In Fitness and in Health
@TrickHell I started 5X5 a little over a month ago and I'm loving it also. At this point, every workout is a personal record.
@neph93 If you're looking to gain strength without really bulking you might want to check out stronglifts 5x5, especially if you enjoy squats and deadlifts. It could also help with the stall you were speaking of.

RE: Yuketen
Kinda what I'm thinking too but wanted to look at options. I keep coming back to the Christy though.

RE: Yuketen

RE: Watches - another OCD problem
I'm only considering it since I have a 30% discount.

RE: Watches - another OCD problem
Sent my vintage original Swiss Army in for repairs, only to be told they are unable to repair since it is so old and parts are unavailable. They did however offer me a 30% discount on a new watch. I'm not looking to spend more than $3-400, since I hadn't planned to get a new watch. Any suggestions?

RE: IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket
Thanks for the comments and advice. I saw a video online about the dryer thing. Probably try that tonight.

RE: IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket
I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Feels like a totally different jacket now.

RE: IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket
Here's a before and a couple after pics. Ran out of wax so I'm not finished yet but I'm really liking it so far.The last pic is an unwaxed sleeve on top for comparison. I'll get better images when I'm done.

RE: IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket
Started waxing the jacket last night but didn't get finished. Bit of a learning curve since it's my first time. Think I've got the hang of it now and should finish this evening. I'll post pics when completed. It's taking the wax very well and totally changing the look and feel.

RE: IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket
I had to grab one at that price. Even if it doesn't work it's worth it. Gonna try waxing it and see how it turns out.

RE: Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?
Grey ducks in something like the 816 cut. Maybe some oxford type shirts in the chino material or something similar. I love the westerns and workshirts but some more style variations would be nice, especially for the office.

RE: Wesco - Short Morrisons in Roughout Burlap…
Hey G, my offer still stands to act as a storage facility for your other pair of Morrisons, as you must be close to running out of room at this point.

RE: IH-816 - 17oz Duck Work Pants
My beige pair faded all over after multiple washes. High friction areas are more pronounced.
