@Giles yup! Though they never let me do the full double denim.

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!

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 ka-BOOM!!!!
Love that GTP monogramming dude!! Is that chain stitched on?? Mad props for making that shirt a 1/1 work of art!!!

Thanks! It was done by Garlicheadchainstitch at the Franklin & Poe anniversary party last week.

@GTPowers Wow, stack my b*tch up!

I’m not sure if I like stacks or just hate waiting on a hem.

About 277 days straight, one soak and one wash.

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.

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.

@GTPowers can’t argue with the results!
How long you been rocking this one?

93 days straight!

@GTPowers damn dude. Incredible. How did you go about you wash routine on this one?

I’ve been hiking and fishing in mine plus wearing daily around the house and at work in the AC. Only had it since July so been hot AF. I’ve given one cold machine wash and today gave it a cold hand wash. It was sweaty as hell after a 7 miles hike and fishing in it all day.

Over a year of wear.

@GTPowers nice man! Big props to you dude. I really love working with that population. I’m in a high impact, title 1 school at the moment and see a lot of the same issues with my students as you’re describing. When I was at the residential treatment center I felt a lot more empowered to create programs that met those kids’ needs. Public school can be very limiting that way. Keep up the good fight my man!! Love to hear about this project of yours!

Hear you there! We came from the Southside of Chicago, where my wife was teaching at a super strict and rigid charter in Englewood. She had zero freedom or room for creativity!
Now MHS provides us the framework and we get to paint the picture.

@John-Galt You should check out Fresh Market if you're ever swinging through Wed-Sat. Great local foods set up like a smaller Central Market Lancaster!

@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!

@John-Galt Shoot me a DM if you're ever in town!

Congratulations

Thanks Giles! You sent us some extra IH stickers a few years back and I still hand out a couple every year!

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!
