Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

@akohut this is just a general comment about Freenote, but I have little doubt it applies here. If you can, double check the measurements on a chart measured by a Freenote retailer that carries the same item (Franklin and Poe tends to be a good ref for me, plus they’re super nice if you have questions). I’ve found Freenote’s charts to be pretty inaccurate. Case in point: I don’t think I’ve ever seen the model listed as wearing any pair of pants other than a size 32, regardless of what the chart looks like; overall it just seems the measurements are a little vague. I’m currently trying to swap a pair I ordered from them due to this exact issue, and it’s been a bit of a pain.

Regardless, still a great company, prob my fave right below IH.

Eek. Mustard has turmeric in it to make it yellow, which can be pretty tough to get out. If you do try to scrub, brush with the weave of the fabric — tends to help with stains, I’ve found. And like Goose said, don’t get too aggressive or it’ll definitely take away more indigo than you want.

At some point every year I look at the nominees for the Hugo awards and get an idea of what's considered (subjectively of course, but nonetheless consensus) the best recent sci fi. I picked up and read The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett (which ended up winning best novel) and Adrian Tchaikovsky's Alien Clay, both of which were f'n excellent.

Would be cool to see one that could fade. I know there are the whipcord ones coming out, and they’re sulfur dyed, or at least the black is.

Haha hell yeah, couldn’t resist

Man I wanted to like that Laurel Canyon doc but I thought it was so clunky. The scenes with Beck, Chan Marshall etc watching the TV felt so scripted and wooden. Granted I adore that music and everybody in it pretty much, so I soldiered through, but sheesh.

@myk1098 I think yours looks really killer. I feel like these jackets need a good bit of wear before they start looking nicely worn, which is why I was wondering. I’ve had mine for at least two years (maybe three?) and there’s still no teacore showing anywhere. Granted I have a couple other leather jackets, so it’s not like I’m giving it a ton of punishment. I have managed to get the shine tamed a decent bit (these things are crazy shiny when new), but I’m gonna try to make it my main jacket this winter so it’s got a better chance. We’ll see what happens!

Out of curiosity, has there ever been any talk of making this bag in SBG?

@Alex gotcha — much appreciated, man!

@Alex @AdamJ I figure since the thread is still locked, there obviously aren't any imminent updates on the 526-SBG, but I'm wondering — is it even still happening? Just in limbo? Or likely getting the kibosh? I know IWHWIH etc etc but just kinda curious if I should keep my hopes up.
