One from last Thursday. The team went 1-2-3 in the sprint. I spent a good chunk of the race in a break that unfortunately couldn’t play nice enough to stay away so I took up lead out duties at the end.

A couple shots from the last few weeks of racing.

Some recent fits:

Everyone has their own style and preferences.  Criticism should only be constructive and only come when solicited.

Didn't see a thread on Indigofera so I figured I'd start one.  I only have one piece from them but am really impressed with the quality of the shirt/jacket.

On that note, I own a Fargo Shirt Jacket in Gunpowder.  A lot of great details and a very reasonable price point.  Probably one of the coolest details about this piece is that it is dyed with actual gunpowder which gives it an incredible grayish hue.  Even better is that because of the dyeing it smells of gunpowder, which is one of my favorite details.

Only downside is this particular piece runs large and the smallest size was slightly bigger than what I prefer.  I am thinking of giving it a good hot soak to try and size it down a bit.  Before I do that I wanted to see if anyone on here had any experience with soaking this jacket and if it shrank at all with a hot soak.  Really don't want to wash out most or all of the gunpowder smell and end up with a jacket the exact same size.

Any way I'll see if I can throw some pics of mine up as it evolves.

The dude in the middle is what Bobby Axelrod from Billions will look like in 20ish years.

Unfortunately, nothing. Some will argue that organizers shouldn't put descents near finishes as it increases the likelihood riders will take more risks to try to win a stage..... In this case Mader wasn't even competing for the win. It's just not possible to eliminate descending as you have to go down if you go up. And organizers can't have every mountain stage be a single climb with a summit finish, which would remove any legitimate descent from the stage profile.

This is a tough one….  And honestly changes from time to time.  Right now it would have to be either the IHSH-99 or IHSH-163.  The 99 is probably the best definition of Iron Heart because they do heavy and overdye better than anyone.  The shirt just makes you feel like a BAMF.  The 163 is just luxurious, which is a weird thing to call a work shirt, but when you put on the shirt it just feels incredible.  It has a very clean look and the wool is the perfect feel and weight.  All the details on both of the shirts also make standouts for me.

A few shots from races this season, which is just about wrapped up.
