Freshly laundered.

@Chibs Yeah, this is the only pair I've seen done like this. Not that I've seen loads of pairs with the patch clearly visible. Just caught my eye.

Was just looking to see if there are any of these in my size still floating around any of the stockists, and I noticed Guilty Party's product pics show the patch done the proper Iron Heart way! Guess that particular seamster didn't get the memo that the patches were supposed to be nerfed for 16oz. Or they're just a headstrong type and decided to do it anyway because it's clearly the way to go. Either way, glad to see at least one pair ended up like this!

@Steve Copy that.

@ShopatIronHeart Does Prince still make an appearance on this new run?

@Crispy-Heron @Northman @SourPower @iamjustdanny Heads up, lads! Dropping in a coupla hours.

Noticed this blue wood on my walk today. Probably the work of elf cups (Chlorociboria) or somesuch.

As this is gonna drop very soon, just a question for people who own one and have washed it a few times...

Any sign of shrinkage with just a regular cold or warm wash?

I know the product page says no shrinkage expected, but this being dobby I feel like it has the potential.

@Steve Nice one. Cheers.

@Steve Still looking like next week for the blazers?

Yeah, that was good. Never knew the best way to test a vat of natural indigo is to stick one's tongue into it.

@phoenixinflight Having worn the heck out of my 634S-Bs and now spent a few months in these, I can say with some confidence that I much prefer the 21oz fabric. The XHS is very fun, sure, and the electric-blue fades are quite diverting, but it's just not as comfortable or practical (outside of hindering road rash, I guess). Don't regret getting 'em. Still enjoy 'em. Just inferior, for me.

Freshly laundered, freestanding, and ready for autumn. Always enjoy how they snap right back to being like cardboard after a wash.

Well that sold well.

Here's a beach scene from Sea Isle City, NJ. I did in acrylic.

I really like this one. Great work.

Reminds me of a song from the early days of the internet...

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. I'm usually way more Team Moth than Team Butterfly, but this one was massive and just generally very impressive.

I could've understood Tuchel's tactics more if it weren't for the hydration break factor. After the goal at 55', England collapsed into being on the back foot and persistently trying to defend. I can see why Tuchel would look at around 15 minutes of that kind of play and decide to throw them a bone by bolstering the defence. However... The fact is he had the hydration break to drum some sense into them, tell them to keep being positive and pushing up the pitch, and make subs that would have given fresh legs in the right places to drive that forward momentum. So, for me, it was a managerial decision based on the (defunct) premise of not being able to have all your players' undivided attention for a couple of minutes to yell some sense into them and get them all on the same page. Which I get. It's very new for football to have four quarters as opposed to two halves, and managers still have to get used to it. We all saw what a huge change a hydration break could make to a team's playing style when it was effectively used to talk about changing up the tactics.

But anyway. By-and-large, I thought Tuchel did well this tournament. Argentina went into overdrive at just the right time, as is their wont. Honestly amazing we held 'em off until nearly the end of regulation. The team played their bloody socks off. Proud of their efforts.

@Oaktavia I'd say it was maybe around an inch long. I'm big into bugs, but had no idea what the heck it was! Pretty confident it's a firefly larva after a bit of online sleuthing, though.

Gopher snake. Nearly stepped on the feisty little fella! He put on a pretty good show of bluffing like he was venomous. Hissing, flattening his head to look like a rattler, looking ready to strike...
