@meatmarketdenim1 Awesome pictures of a beautiful area! I was just up there a few weeks ago hiking Cataract Falls.

Congrats @Daniel-San and @thooy05 on the chore coat pickups!

I went from 0 to 2 leather jackets this year, so I'm going to lock up the credit card to avoid ruffling the wife's feathers who has been quite patient so far.

I got in on the Scar Kakishibu chore coat preorder and was quite stoked it landed a good six months ahead of the original estimate. I love it and can't wait to get some wear in before it gets too warm but goodness, the button holes give IH 25oz. denim a run for their money!

Now that summer is around the corner, the 25th Anniversary Grizzly I bought earlier this year is going into hibernation until it cools off again... which given Seattle, it may be as soon as next week.

888-XHSib (too dark to tell)

Trying to get a few more wears of my UHF before I have to put them away for the California spring/summer. The western cut, fire pit, and bull skull made for an interesting accidental "Old West" vibe.

The fades aren't winning any awards any time soon, but going on just over 2 years with these and I'm loving how they're progressing after their most recent wash.

@Brandrea said in Viberg:

I just messaged Viberg and this is the response I got … looks like they can’t make the 310’s in Shell

That aligns with what I had read anecdotally. Apparently, Viberg in the past tried doing some 310 boots in horsehide, not even shell, to disastrous results. The leather was repeatedly tearing due to the required pulling to stretch it across the structured bump toe, a problem that would only be exacerbated with shell.

@SonnyTheElder

These are so good, just like everybody else I’m constantly looking for OG make ups. I’ve only bought a couple new Viberg’s in the last five years +.

Amen brother! It's slim pickings for me at size 13 but just makes the pairs I do manage to snag that much sweeter.

For those who wear size 30 & 32, a few pairs of these are part of the sale currently running at Division Road.

Is this shirt slated for an eventual restock or was it a one-and-done seasonal release? Such a cool piece so I'm trying to figure out if I need to wait out a restock or look for it on the secondary market.

@Kasi No worries, I'm glad a fellow forum member got in on these! Like @Oaktavia said above, somebody needs to jump on those 30s!

@Kjunx
Nice, you'll be stoked when yours comes in! Thanks for the pointer about the buttons, they're finally starting to give (if only slightly) after about a week of wear. It's a bit lighter in reality than in my picture but not very pink and yes, one interior pocket on the left side. In my case, it's close to my skin color, so I need to wear it out and get some sun so it diminishes the "it puts the lotion on the skin" Buffalo Bill vibe.

@Daniel-San
Thank you sir! I was on the fence about the Grizzly given it's a bit more of a statement piece for my wardrobe but I'm glad I got it.

Awesome jacket @choco, fit looks spot on.
Mine just got in today as well, but in indigo. A bit of a bummer as the chest fits fine but the rest fits quite boxy, so I'm trying to figure out if I soak/dry it to improve the fit or just return it.

@jaliskoe pay phones still exist?!?!

Haha! My thoughts exactly… Had no tone.
You see one still standing out there, you gotta snap a picture!

I was going to say, if you needed to make a call, you probably could have just asked the person who likely snapped your pic with a phone!

Been meaning to ask, is your user name a reference to the state in Mexico?

lol! Not sure how the wife still entertains my impromptu photo requests while out in public. Especially seein how much I complain about her shooting angles/camera skills!

And yes. I hail from Jalisco, Mexico The birthplace of Tequila!

Haha, she's a keeper for sure!

Órale, a fellow Jalicience! :the_horns: I was born/raised in CA, but my family also hails from Jalisco.
