@northsouthdenimguy we can meet up at Ruth’s Chris right after I stop at the Costco’s

@worn2fade hear you on that. I think I would trust Samurai but my experiences outside of IH since finding them have been limited.

@worn2fade I also found IH after they discontinued this item and am bummed to hear they aren’t coming back any time soon. I know SOSO had a 25oz option for a while, but that’s gone now, although I think Pinion might have a 25oz option although I’ve got no experience with that brand.

Strange question but are these shirts “squeaky” at all? I have deer skin gloves from Sullivan Glove Co and they have a texture to them that I can only describe as squeaky when I rub them together / take them on and off.

@tody the trick is to spend all your money. Then the next week they will release everything you’ve been waiting for

@rewseph that’s worse than not getting the chance to buy at all. Sorry that happened.

@worn2fade not a back up for me; just a grail item (model 10 bracelet) that I have been planning to pick up for a long time now. I couldn’t do it with the new price structure so I just bit the bullet now while it’s still available at a reasonable price point.

@Conan said in GOOD ART HLYWD - A Gallery:

I had my sights on a Model 10. It was gonna be a stretch, but with the price increase, it’s now beyond my means (and common sense).

I intended to wait until end of 2026 to get one but the 47% price increase made me jump on one now while some vendors are still selling at 2025 prices. It would be permanently out of reach otherwise. This will probably be one of the last GAH pieces I’ll reasonably be able to acquire.

soft…

Not to laugh at another man’s pain but your comment immediately made me think of this guy

@Subprime I did the same. The prices won’t go back down

@rudy where did you find one?

805, 295ib, IHV-44

@worn2fade congratulations. Excellent ring choice

@Kasi thanks for that. I reached out and they got back to me pretty quickly to explain it would be shipped out end of week. Delay was probably related to the holidays.

Anyone have experience ordering apparel directly from GAH? I ordered a t-shirt from their collaboration with Race Service a few weeks ago and haven't gotten any communication about it. I know the jewelry shipping time takes weeks unless it says ready to ship, but I wouldn't think extended shipping times would apply to their apparel.

Washed the 295 for the first time and it stands up like the XHS

@Johnnyutah247 I've washed them once so far after getting some tiger balm on them. Cold water, delicate cycle with low spin and hang dry. They haven't shrunk at all using this method although I think if they were washed after every wear they would start to come in a bit.

The discussions about the seasonal releases are one of the things I really enjoy about this forum. Excited to see whats in store for SS2026.

Sorry to hear they are sliding off @Brandrea Comfortably snug when untied is probably not ideal for sweatpants. Sizing up might help.

Not as many people here as I would expect. Maybe tomorrow when the hangovers have worn off.
