@olblue I bet! The pattern/cut/fabric works really well.
(Haha, generally it's pretty slim pickings for compliments in the denim world in my experience )

@olblue That's a great looking chore coat. Now I want one.

@Bridger Wild prices. Cool guitar though. Apparently they could (should?) have charged even more.

Just got this in today. (Really need to stop buying guitars. This will be the last one for a long while, I promise..........)

Les Paul Standard 50s in Ebony. Love the look of this thing, with the natural back. Can't fault a good burst, but dig the simple, clean appearance.
Setup wasn't 100% on arrival, but a few tweaks and it plays great. Awesome sounding guitar thankfully. (Far better sounding than a previous LP Standard I had that was stolen).

Had this bottle of Ridge recently, which was excellent.

@Freeman Nice! Neck wood looks awesome. (And I always liked the look of a fretboard without markers/inlays)

Was looking through some old photos, this was a pretty decent lineup for the night.

Snowy 2030s

@Crispy-Heron I got it from Denimio, but that was 2 years ago I'm afraid, so probably sold out long ago. It's been sitting unused (yes, I have too much denim), was planning to use it for the last Redline rally, but never got started.

Samurai seems to do the 25oz jackets/chore coats every once in a while though, so I'm sure you'll get one eventually if keep your eyes peeled. Samurai are also pretty good with publishing their seasonal catalogs well in advance from what I've seen, so might be worth keeping an eye on those.

@denim-dawg Thank you, hopefully I can give it some justice. Very nice on the 227-BLK! Love the IH wabash fabric, so good. (And I have an unused 62-BLK waiting for the right occasion, so I'm looking forward to seeing your 227 develop!)

@denim-dawg Thank you, and yes - 25oz! What are you joining with this time around?

@Mister_Brue Thanks! Haha, indeed. Looking forward to this one for sure.
If you've never tried Samurai 25oz I highly recommend checking it out at some point. Very different feel than IH 25oz, but excellent just the same.

Really looking forward to how your IHJ-149-IND will develop, I have no doubt it will be spectacular.

As usual I'm sure progress will be slow and unimpressive, but looking forward to it nonetheless. Really enjoy Samurai 25oz.

Happy to have this one in size 46, previously had a different Samurai 25oz Type I in 44, which was ultimately too tight in the shoulders/chest.

@freepickin Looks totally awesome.

Agree with @yannis, and was going to say the same: Samurai 511 is closest to the 777, but not particularly close. Nice cut though, and for a (somewhat) similar fit I'd suggest sizing up in the Samurai compared to the IH.

@SKT Looks perfect if you ask me.

Hemmed, 100% of the time. Don't like the extra mass/bulk/material of a cuff. Feels annoying/clumsy to me and gets on my nerves.
I often like how a cuff looks on other people though.

@Oaktavia Looking great!

@Mizmazzle Great looking jacket.
