@SKT wearing these right now - they look great with Ducks

I also jumped on this one...will be my 3rd slub .

Really enjoy the first slub (grey with reddish/orange check) - but wish it had the buttons of the second slub (blue/black). Both are tremendous. Something about that slub

Actually wish I had the larger buttons on ALL of my flannels.

Kind of wish Gosport was close to NJ so I could bring a sack of UHFs in for an upgrade.

@SKT - yes my intro to the 992 was the Tiger Eye just a few weeks ago. It seems to fit similarly to the 990v6 (I ordered the same size as well) - the 992 may actually be a touch roomier except for a bit of narrowing as you approach the ball of your foot/toebox. Apologies for the non technical description - I'm certainly not a podiatrist or a shoe salesman . But otherwise they should feel lovely.

@SKT - got mine as well! I'm 2 for 2 in this last run. Was unlikely in the past, but I feel like they've been manufacturing more in recent models (as opposed to the first few 990v6 Bronson collabs) - I missed out on a few of those. Giddy up!

@SKT - atta boy. Good luck!

Did anyone sign up for the Digitalis Purpurea raffle? https://www.specializinginlife.com/

The tiger eye has landed. Pretty sweet. I really like the black sole with the brown suede.

First 992 for me as I’ve been compiling a bunch of 990v6 over the last few years - starting with the 2nd Baklavas (blue).

@Matt - those are tremendous. Now I'm pissed I pulled the trigger on the recent Tiger Eye 992. The FOMO is real. I also picked up those pink 990s from Bronson over the summer.

@the246guy - Nice. I have the Oris 65 with bronze bezel (2018) that I keep on a marine nationale strap, which is flexible and incredibly comfortable. Thin case, great size at 40mm, legible. Great watch. My daily driver is the Seamaster 300 with faux lume.

@CosmoSix5 - I'm afraid I can't fit into this one...shame. Actually looks like I'm having a tough time fitting in any of the recent short sleeve shirts (aside from the recent ripstop mechanic).

@ManiacLachy - Looking sharp brother!

@Matt - while I'm a big fan of the brown/duck color, I too would not pay $400 for those. NBs do seem to be fairly well made, but you'll never get a solid price per wear out of those at that price.

My sense is that pair will come down in price as soon as primary stock is limited.

The sneaker market as a whole has come down significantly in recent months. Maybe not for all pairs, as it is a hype market, but as an example - my purple/black Dunks that I paid close to $300 some 12-18 mos ago, are now going for under retail (sub $100). That said, if the hype isn't serious, you should be able to get into a pair of those $400 NBs at half that. Of course that is assuming you can fight the internal FOMO while you wait for the hype to subside...it's all a head game after all.

@FlavourFade - your take is spot on. The XXXL that I sold was really nice. But the chest and waist were too small - couldn’t really button them. Arms long (IH standard) which were great for me. Shoulders perfect (I have broader shoulders), and the length was a little longer than traditional T3 - which again, is what IH does to add pockets - and I love the look too. It’s an incredible jacket. Just didn’t fit my mid section all that well. But if you don’t have a gut, it could work. Check the measurements - as recommended for all pieces

@Brock Goodness Gracious! I knew you were a GPW guy but that image right there put you at an ambassador level. Well done!

I appreciate the feedback and will get myself a pair in short order. I'm actually wearing a pair of Work Trouser - 14 oz Nihon Menpu Olive Drab Selvedge Denim right now.

How do you guys compare the sizing for those easy shorts in the waist? I know they show a range but it's always tough to know upper and lower ranges and how that translates to balloony legs if you go too big.

BTW they look terrific @Oaktavia

@goosehd - that's a tough look bro. Looks even better with the Wills. Props to you for having the balls to wear that kit. The hat and the boots are like two serious bookends to that outfit. Well done.

@jordanscollected How gross. That company should be ashamed of themselves.

@SourPower - appreciate the invite. I'm back in NJ now - really quick trip.

@Mizmazzle - yessir - weather looks good out there. I'll be walking from one hotel to another in an hour or so. Wish I had time to visit Berkley Supply while here, but I just don't have the time.

Sitting in a Denver hotel. Work this evening. Back home tmrw.
