Man, I do not know how you guys get such nice daily pics! Took me way longer than I want to admit to even get this one.

Many thanks again for the shirt, @Giles

Couldn’t get it together for a fit pic…21oz 633s, from not all that long ago…I’m fairly new around here.

My daily (f* a rotation. ;). Anyways, my wife says the whole ‘you need to rotate at least two work boots’ is a “myth perpetrated by ‘big boot.’” I can’t help but agree (though I put em on the peet dryer nightly). White’s c355. Ready for new heels.

Rocking these since the fall:

I decided to just go with replacement heels for the moment. Whites was going to be too expensive (mostly cause they wind up to take on more than I actually want done at the moment) IMO. Also, wanted to check out a new cobbler. Given the results, I’m happy to bring them all my shoes in the future! When this wears out I’ll maybe try a wedge ;).

Hello、I’m Max from Portland. I’ve been a fan of Iron Heart for a while, and just recently picked up my first bits from the company over the past few months. I’m looking forward to nerding out on denim and related topics with yall in the future!

Heyo, new to this thread. I’ve been fly fishing in Oregon for a few years now. It’s been mostly trout, but I’m trying to break into some rock fishing and migratory species.

Last tie:
Since the run a good fish on pink squirrels has subsided, I’ve calmed down in my fly construction (not that there’s anything terribly complex going on there, but it could be simpler).

F-fly: (once I get some dyed feathers, I’ll probably tie up a rainbow).

@CosmoSix5 what is even happening????! I might be losing my mind

Steelhead is like a religion here in Oregon. If I can get my daughter into it, then no one will care how much time I’m out on the river in the dark and cold ;). She loves the flies…also she’s three…so, swimming first.

Finally found/pulled the trigger on one. Took my sweet time figuring out sizing (hope I got there!). I think I’m a little dizzy from all the fit pics and other folks measurements I’ve compared…pics when it lands…stoked!

Loads of good mountain biking and fishing nearby…also, to stay topical…there certainly are beavers in Beaverton. I had to walk my wife and kid down to the local creek to prove it. Lucky for me, the wildlife obliged. Lol. She still doesn’t believe I catch fish though.

@Denimhead-0 damn, nice retrotec!

How bout home-made goods? Highlight some article of clothing or accessory made in your home, or friends home?

These are amazing. An incredible amount of work goes into one of these. They look great! いつか。

@Oaktavia thank you for the great deal on the shirt! Also for splashing out on the faster shipping!

Nice to have friends that have neighbors with peacocks…can’t wait to tie some flys up! Can immediately tell the difference between this and anything I’ve seen off the shelf. Wild. Waaay more shine. Now…who’s got pheasants…

@ZackB love those pants! Looking good!

@Denimhead-0 always with the bike flex
