I kind of hate this photo of me, but it was all I could manage to get in my short elevator ride.

The IHJ-54 always comes through for me.

And standing awkwardly, about to get some headshots taken.

eBay grail shirt delivered from California in 2 days.. Post office must be making doge adjustments lol. Usually a full week easy.

Let's keep the political commentary out of the forum, please. Baiting comments like this don't serve any purpose around here.

I filed for a patent this morning, so I'm officially allowed to share this with the world. I've been designing this for the last 4 months and it's finally done!

My first par of IH jeans. Circa 2011.

We've done this three times now and will continue to do so, so I think it's officially a holiday tradition. There's a nice hotel in the area called The Lodge at Torrey Pines, and it's an absolutely gorgeous building which (and I'm not architecture expert, so please forgive me if I mess this up) seems like a combination of craftsman and Japanese design, and it's just stunning. We go there, see the carolers singing by a big fireplace, and tuck ourselves into a little room off of the bar for a martini and what they call the "Drug Store Burger." It's a pretty fancy place, so it's definitely a treat to go there. Anyway, here are some pics that my wife took last night.

It was lovely. I loved getting that nice crust and not smoking out the whole house with eau de boeuf.

@sabergirl I don't expect absolute perfection, but I've come to expect near perfection. The fact that IH QC has been consistently SO GOOD for as long as I've been around it has created an expectation for quality at a certain level. I have some IH garments with extremely minor issues, so nothing is truly perfect, and I chalk it up to human error or the material doing its thing. When I buy a piece from IH, I know what I'm getting. And in the rare instances that I've been surprised by something, it's usually so minor that I don't care, or make the decision that it's part of the charm of a well-made garment. And there's something beautiful about that.

Not the most conventional tool, but a shop apron is absolutely a tool. Having some of my most-used hand tools at the ready is super important, and rather than buying something that already exists that I'd likely be unhappy with, I decided to make my own fully custom apron.

This was nearly 80 hours of labor, and a shit ton of leather!
