I saw a neat video on Reddit about using a traditional method to make cotton textiles. Not sure where to post it but figured some of you might like to watch it. See here.

I’m trapped at the mall helping the Mrs. Find some work clothes. A time old tale.
Got bored waiting in the dressing room chairs and decided to read up on weather predictions for Colorado winter 23-24

@Matt you may be happy to know…

Apparently the elite, ultra accurate local meteorologists (LIES!) call the Farmer’s Almanac pseudo- science. But hey, it’s hot AF out right now. I’ll take what I can get!

I’ll be patiently waiting…

I made a denim counter chart using Google Docs and figured some of you more nerdy denim heads out there would like to use one too.

Here is a blank one for you to make a copy and fill out.

Here is my filled out example. I took a few moments to link the forum pages for each piece, that way I can find the links easily and post my fade progress photos without having to search for the item number.

Thanks man, I was using a pen and paper calendar before this and was getting confused with my handwriting and transferring years. The numbers were getting lost in the squares. Now I can edit this document from whatever device I am using that day. It's a simple chart but that's the point.

@Oaktavia dude I love this, had something similar way back when. My laziness got the best of me though so I neglected it.. you may have lit a fire in me though..

@Oaktavia thanks for sharing this, I haven’t been tracking my first pair but I might make a guesstimate and start using this.
Nothing wrong with being nerdy about it!

[Oaktavia]

@J-IV right on dude, hope you end up using it.

So, I have a new jacket.

Double Helix Indigo Dyed Horsehide.

@endo was selling it in Hamburg, I tried it on and loved it. A few hours later I told him I wanted to buy it. He said, too late, already sold.

Thank you @Madame-Buttonfly and @AdamC for the assist

[AdamC]

Happy birthday @Giles ! Hope you have a great day and its not TOO hot so you can get some miles in the new jacket!

[tody]

@Giles Happy Birthday, and what a bloody lovely jacket this is. Hope it matches the colours on the boat!

[ARNC]

I had wondered who got the jacket – congratulations @Giles and happy birthday!

[dinobarnesberlin]

Great gift ! Wonder how this will look with those purple boots!?

[endo]

^ exactly what I thought
(pics please @Giles )

Happy Birthday Giles! @endo always made the jacket look great when it popped up on WAYWT. I love it when a quality thing gets another life with a new owner.

[SKT]

Hope you’ve had a great birthday Giles! Jacket is spectacular…I’ve admired it for ages.

[sabergirl]

Awesome! Perfect origin story for this beautiful birthday jacket. Nice work @Madame-Buttonfly and @AdamC
