of course iwhwih's, but is there a rough guess on when you might have any of their boots available?

Reaching orbit on flight two is a massive achievement; hats off to Isar, because orbital mechanics don't care about PR. The "first from Western Europe" label feels like a sliced-and-diced marketing statistic, but having more active spaceports to inspire local engineers and lower launch friction is a great win for the industry overall.

which leather is that @coughpls ?

really curious on how their lasts fit compared to the bulk of other engineer or boots out there. Does anyone have enough experience with them to say how they would compare to a 9D Wesco mr. lou (or really any of the other boots from whites, nicks, lofgren, flathead, mccoys, clinch, rrl)? Specifically in the toe box height & length and then the volume of the instep.

Anyone have a pair of sd-1002's?
Curious how you like them and the fit compared to 634 or similar.

Wearing a moderately faded 409 today and the proprietor at a local noticed it, "wow, is that like a velvet denim?!".

copy this everyone, thanks. I've got a few 100% wool shirts too and usually play it safe and dry clean them or never clean them (hah!) but I'm more curious as to if anyone has lived dangerously, either by mistake or intent, and just chucked it in the wash as to how it went.

i know they're listed as dry clean only, but has anyone washed their fox bros wool shirts before? if so, how did you wash it and what happened?

@teamcarraig it depends. If it's very fine blocks with lots of glue joints, then no, those are worse. But if it's wide blocks of the grain then, yeah. It's an important distinction though so thanks for calling that or

Personally I wouldn't complicate things and just get a thick wood board. Don't get end grain or bamboo, they are hard on edges and will dull knives faster. Buy some oil or wax with it.

Wood board are very sanitary as they transport and remove water away from the bacteria which ends up killing them. I believe one of the scientific journals studied this like 15 years ago saying they're actually more food safe than plastic boards. Obviously don't run in the dishwasher, hand wash it when you're done, and dry the surface before putting it away, preferably on its side so it can dry completely.

Sanding can fix stains or scarred surfaces as well.

@harleylawhorn Muddled the fresh neighborhood blackberries with lemon and added to a bit of maple syrup and rye.

That time of year when blackberries are everywhere in the neighborhood

The 8's definitely wear lighter for me and breathe a bit more.

I've been wearing mine a ton and bought a second one that I'm leaving untouched until my current one is very faded. That way I can have two in different colors .

Truly my only complaint about the no7 is it's only offered in indigo

The only tshirt I like more than the no8 slub is the no7

Not either model you asked for, but I might have a pair of inmates I don't use somewhere. Lmk if you'd like me to try to find them.

This thread reminds me of the scene in Malcolm in the middle where Hal had to change a lightbulb. With looking for the clip if you haven't seen it.

@WhiskeySandwich i think it's all relative. More comfortable in terms of very high and tight armholes which even people on here have complained about. Relatively speaking, the lower the arm hole the more people it will fit and the less restricting it will be for anyone with large arms. The side effect here for flexibility of fitting a more diverse set of body types and sizes is that it has a compromise on how it wears when moving. I think I know what you're saying about downward angled arms where it attaches at the body, but i think that's a result also of having a lower arm hole. I'm far from an expert on this though, so I'll let someone else chime in.

But i hear you on this being a rant of sorts. I don't like this either which is why I like the IH shirt cut so much. I struggled with this for so many years not really understanding why this happened until I got a shirt cut with higher arm holes.

High arm holes. Less tailored items with lower arm holes fit more people more comfortably so that's what big brands do. Imagine if the arm holes were sewn down to the hem and you have an example of why the higher the better in regards to how raising arms will pickup the body.

Been wearing these a good bit on the weekends with the warm weather and really liking these and this cut. Making me pretty excited for the other wide work pants coming soon.
