Hey Folks,
Had the chance to be filmed for our school's recent run of PSA commercials. Had to sneak in some Iron Heart!
For context: My wife and I work for a large boarding school in Central Pennsylvania. We run a home of 12 teenage boys and have been at it for about a decade.
Here's a couple stills.
Me pretending to know how to throw a football:
And me pretending to know how to play pingpong, personal daughter my sparring partner:
Still waiting on an interview commercial where I wore the recent UPS UHF, which happens to be a perfect match for our school colors!
Hope you enjoyed!

My final submissions for the Redline Rally. Great jacket but I've got to convince myself to stop doing comps in overdye!
Missing some of my studio equipment to really make this full shot work but at least I got out of my Pit enough to get back out from behind the camera.
Surprised they used this b-roll because of the patch and the fact you can tell that I have no idea how to peel an acorn squash…but here’s my piece where I get to use it everyday!
Over a year of wear.

Thats a wrap. 365 straight, lots of washes. Headed back to IHUK for repairs if they're willing.
@Mizmazzle That sounds like a dream.
I would say our school's focus is Career/SEL based education for underprivileged kids. It's a completely free program. The school covers food, clothes, housing, education needs, etc. The students even have the potential to earn a $95k supplementary scholarship for post secondary.
We've been here long enough to see some really great stuff happen for kids who needed it (and wanted it, because some of them don't). I've got one '23 grad who started pre-med on a full ride to Columbia. He came out of one of the poorest neighborhoods in Baltimore. Another grad, '22, who is wrapping up his second year at Villanova, on a full ride as well. He came from bo-fawk-no-where PA, born into a family of junkies. Calls me dad now, which is hilarious because I'm hardly a decade older than him.
It's just so cool. I really love it!
Breaking in the pair on a cold morning ride to a cafe.
@Giles yup! Though they never let me do the full double denim.

Snuck in the UHF for an info-mercial. The colors are so spot on for the School’s Brown and Gold.

@GTPowers Holy hell what a fantastic looking pair of jeans! Looks like maybe a trip to Ye Olde Crotch Repair Shop is upcoming? Maybe my pair will look like that in 270 or so more days.
Already a couple small shashiko repairs under there already

@GTPowers Wow, stack my b*tch up!
I’m not sure if I like stacks or just hate waiting on a hem.

Had a blast chatting with Matz and Alex! Such a good time!

I actually haven’t washed it yet. Keeping a spray bottle mix of water, rubbing alcohol, and clove essential oil. I hit the pits, collar, and arm holes every night and a full body spray plus sun dry once a week.
Interesting to hear this...does this seem to work with armpit/BO odor? I would be willing to try this if it puts off a wash. I actually have some clove essential oil somewhere in the house...
Seems like it! I originally used it to help with crotch blowouts but my fat hips don’t help.
