22oz pronto before repairs

Not sure if worth it. Need to run over it with singer anyway

Modified n1 deck vest. 5 years of use and maybe close to 1k wears so of course it shows. Would buy again

I like how the spot where I've been tamping my morning espresso for last 15years has developed some texture. It pleases me even more knowing that many would absolutely hate this

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot said in IHSB-BIGBUCK-OLV - Deerskin Western Shirt The Big Buck - Olive:

HOLY FUCK

That is precise and adequate way to describe the situation

What many have said. I think they are fine roomy 888 fit. 21oz will settle rather quickly. If you were after tighter jeans I believe you are pretty unlucky with muscular lower body. Cuts are quite limited across all japanise brands

While we are at it. Making your own sandwiches is a misery. I have no discipline to follow it through and sit down to eat. I end up doing my second sandwich while eating the first ...and even that is a lie cos I'm 100% eating the first sandwich while I'm making it.

@Oaktavia good to know. My jeans will allways blowout in same place (other brands too). Maybe it's a habit and bodyshape/movement thing. I suspect that lack of stretch just does it faster with xhs. Not even complaining really, just observing. I have two hands and a sewing machine afterall

Hey! I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a tacle shop...

Tokyo really is something else. There is a tackleshop larger than decent sized supermarket back home and it's open 24/7.

Not sure if this is right place to ask, but anyone else noticing XHS jeans needing their first crotch repair earlier compared to lighter denims? I have two pairs and my 634's are developing a hole even thought they are barely broken in. ("barely" in context of xhs. been having them over 2years).

Oh, we're talking new tackle are we. Just bought one of these (in Japan for about 1/2 western price), the S86XX Longcast.

Hey! I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a tacle shop there. I probably do not need another light trout rod, but it's Japan and I absolutely need a souvenir for myself

If you could pick just one pair 21oz is hard to beat as an allrounder. Everything else is kinda nice to have luxury

@Gammaman beautiful

Is that shimano soare rod perhaps? I think I have the same reel. Bought myself a christmas present aswell. Super shallow spare spool and a heftier knob. Not a huge fan of ultra thin knob of 2000 vanquish. Going to be a long long winter before I get to use these

Modified n1 vest (no buttons)
Olive big buck and dark green deerskin gloves
888s

@Giles Sea trout. I'm more used to fresh water fishing. Was nice, no trouts thought

Gear is a bit light for this kind of fishing

... but not the pants they are XHS!

@Giles
My friend broke her hand while armwrestling for fun back in the day. That kind of injury is probably much more rare for serious wrestlers

@Mister_Brue Don't bother about it. Yeah. No way my jeans look like that after a year, but that does not mean your's could not. And those do not look like bricked anyways. Nice pair of pants!

Pick a team you have a decent change to visit and get tickets to. Smaller London clubs for example are great: fulham, brentford, luton.

Maybe Betis or Sevilla from laliga. And as a newcomer RedBull teams are good and trollish options Salzburg or Leipzig. Personally I would skipp Serie A.

If you want the best club then Arsenal obviously

@ARNC I had to check the english name and used mourning cloak because finnish name is direct translation from that. For the looks beauty suits better
