@madmonday:

cool.

How long have you been a standing desk person & with all your healthier choices in life I have no freakin' idea who you are, hahaha

what have you done with hard living, potato gun shooting, off-road driving, fisherman Giles, hahahahaha?

This looks promising.

I have a stander @ work too. I stand probably 3-4hrs a day, usually of a morning, and in bursts of an afternoon. I used to stand all day, but have regressed. It's great to have the flexibility and I find I move around/do more if I am standing…love it!

That's why mine is motorised…..

Soft, not a 21. More of a pale blue mock twist chambray, exactly like the 65 (which was a western)… Yellow stitching... Selvedge... White buttons... Smells good as well - which is completely irrelevant.

Anyone?..

way washed 46 I guess….

[Seul]

There's no way this thing was ever green… Thinking it might've been a sample of a 65 workshirt or 46 in pale blue, seeing as it is a size L...

how can i get over this perpetual state of pissed-off-edness?

Do more of what you like and less of what you don't. I find this surprisingly difficult but it works if you can manage it.

There was a blue IHSH-46 released in JP, but Giles didn't being them over because of the blue 21 iirc

Holy cow - solid intel there!.. Thanks mate!..

@TrickHell:

Does anyone know where I can find a high-quality, military-style duffel bag?

Have you got a pic of specifically which style. There are lots of suppliers to the military who do mil-spec duffles are are you referring to an old school type?

After serving in the Army, I can tell you the old Vietnam style ones that are issued are CRAP! I kept one the whole time, because it was part of my inventory, but I used one of these:

Amazing, made in America quality

pretty sure the question came up multiple times, but i found not that much - since i threw my denim in the washing machine this morning, how do you guys care for the leather patch? i used to use red wing mink oil on my 666 but that made the patch very dark brown and i wanted to keep the patch of my busters lighter, more on orange side. any ideas or cheap grandmother advice?

Exactly what i needed - Thank you very much Sir! What a cool idea!

[Giles]

Yep, hand sew it. Use a backstitch:

[Giles]

Try to incorporate the existing thread into the backstitch. If that is too difficult, cut it out, but just make sure the new backstitch overstitches the existing good stitches

[JCMx800]

If the existing thread is too short, use a lighter to melt the poly-cotton thread and put a finger on it. If you check out the video about the IHUK hem-service you can see Giles do the same.

I am looking for some white selvedge pants, jeans or chino. The white 21oz denim is too hot for the work at a childrens hospital with underfloor heating. The new double knee white loggers are too much because the double knees.
