Grey matter:

The duck, the octopus and I enjoy splendid weather:

Today I'm wearing a shirt that I messed up quite badly by not washing inside out and without soaking. It still gets some love:

Bike commuting in rather unromantic autumn weather:

Have good one!

Gave these two bad boys a wash:

Same shirt and chinos as this morning. Only with an additional insulation layer and my oldest denim jacket.

Some interesting new shades of blue after the second wash of the IHSH-33

Still working in and on my 888S 21oz. Rolled up quite high the 21oz works astonishingly well in warmer temps.

Have a great day!

New Shirt IHSH-33t with an old pair of chinos in the 888 cut (I cannot remember the reference).

Battered old English wax jacket I picked up second hand a few years ago:

Do you think black shoes with a brown belt is bad taste?

Somewhere in Latvia

My pair from March '24, plenty of wear and bike riding:

Hello nice people from all over the world

I'd like to share some evo pictures of my 21oz 888s that I bought in March '24:

I really like how they've developed.

Have a great weekend!

Bought 1st March '24 about 250 wears and 5 washes:

I normally only wear sub $100 Casios or Seiko SKX variants. This Explorer, however, holds a lot of sentimental value and it is my only expensive watch.

Update on my 21 oz 888s from spring this year:

(The trousers are from spring, not the picture.)

I'm so very happy with this shirt!

Very excited what it might look like in a few months time.

21oz at different stages of its evolution:

888s with more than 300 days of wear and about a dozen washes in the machine and neph's old pair of 634s that has hardly been worn by him and a few dozen days by me.

Interestingly, the hem of the 888s is in better condition since it has been hemmed later in its life.
