I've only worn these 5 times so far since its heavy-season, but man, this denim is the bizness. The unfaded OD dresses up real nice and I'm sure it'll age and fade into a great greasball beater pair with the unfaded blacks left behind - will hide the stains well. The fabric is so soft and the weight is by no means 'light'. Compared to my 14oz regular indigo, its hard to believe they're the same thing with just an overdye job. They feel softer and slightly heavier, yet still flex with about the same 'temper' or rigidity. The 'grain' is hidden for now and they're perfectly uniform. The thread is darkened from the OD and almost appears tonal but even that starts to fade into gold. I really like how the OD turned the weft, selvedge id, pocket linings, rivets, buttons, stitching all black. These are probably my best fitting pair of jeans currently and it's good to know they won't shrink too. I really cannot oversell how good 14oz is. Of course it may feel flimsy if you're used to heavies like 21oz or 25oz, but it's certainly NOT. They are solid, very substantial and robust.

@Mizmazzle if it did, I would def get another pair.

Good to the last drop. A fine pairing with some Chipotle on taco Tuesday

I love the tonal arcs! I wish more had em

@SKT yeah I’m really glad at least one of the BT faves became readily available again. I think the whiskey boom has slowed a bit. It did its damage on prices tho

@Matt dude it was goodgood. Movie of the year for me. Just watched it, beautifully engaging.

Guillermo did it as it should be done . While watching, I saw so many Death Stranding winks. I hadn’t realized how much influence he had on Hideo games, but the connection became so much clearer seeing this.

My favorite fade patterns of all my IH, the 21ib.

My buddy got me some of the Luxardo cherries and I had to try them right away lol
Holy shit what a difference. I never thought I could justify the price but now idk if I can go back.

@Matt lmao idk who even that is but you had me rollin with the Mickey rourke reference

WOW thats way more even than I would have thought

@mclaincausey dude thats crazy detailed. Good analysis! There were a few surprises in the data but generally it confirmed a lot of the preconceptions I had about most of these guys. I think you did a great job with your methodology, controls, and balancing factors, etc. The only way we could really know for sure is by giving them all spec'ed cars, but that would take the fun out of it!
My buddies have all talked about how it'd be cool to have all the F1 drivers do a race or two in identical cars each year for bragging rights, but I think the closest we'll get to that was the Lego race.
Thanks for sharing your research!

We have a whiteboard at work where we make fun of language errors. one of the entries:

@mclaincausey You mentioned the model but if you shared it I must've missed it. It'd be cool to see the data. All that sounds very legit.

I still think McLaren just happened to get lucky with their windfall of car performance and the whole team still doesn't quite know what to do with it. I kinda doubt they'll be fortunate enough to carry it into 2026 regs.

It is sad to see the decline of Lewis, that's bound to happen when people stay in long enough, like any sport. Its rare to see people get out at their peak, and the drop is inevitable. I just wish he was having as much fun as Alonso seems to have in the late stages of his career.

@Matt sounds like the right night to be there

Speaking of good battles, I really hope they figure a way to fix the race to the apex issue with the rules. I can’t think of anything on that one other than punishing contact or forcing off track more severely

It kinda blows my mind that something like that is rarely much worse a penalty than a false start, track limits, cutting, or passing off track. Like ocon got a 10 second stop go because they dropped his car? I might have my details wrong tho

@goosehd yeah I wanna see good battles first and foremost. What I dont want to see is more bizarre wings from around the 2018 era lol

@mclaincausey don’t forget the Magnesium if you do I found well after adding D3 to my supps that it can cause or worsen a mag deficiency, which resulted in muscle cramps, aches, joint stiffness, and all around arthritis. All those were better than ever a couple weeks after adding a magnesium complex. We’re too young for that shit

..I’m pretty nerdy about my supplements
