@GraemeE I find that the Oregon coast is like that mosquito in Jurassic Park, frozen in amber. Coasties are their own breed of people. I frequent Garibaldi and that place is interesting, special, gnarly, beautiful, raw. Sidenote: their liquor store is a hidden gem, if you’re looking for top shelf they prolly have it & it’s probably dusty.

RE: Thrift Store Scores
@GraemeE right!! That tool box red, nothing quite like it. Maybe 8yrs ago I scored this tool box - Mac Tools also from the 70’s. I bought it from a mink farmer on the Oregon coast. It was full of tools, but stank like shit from it being covered in mink oil. Worth it though

RE: Thrift Store Scores
Facebook marketplace counts right? It’s like a digital thrift store that you can pick through from the comfort of your couch. I scored this late ‘70s Snap On top tool box for $30….i could barely believe my eyes when I saw the ad. Guess I gotta find a lower box now!

RE: Thrift Store Scores
@GraemeE ah the one across from 5guys. I’ve actually never been in that one. Good to know, though I seldom go into Goodwill I mostly hit up the flea market (and the St Johns one is on its last days there are some shenanigans in the Eagles Lodge world and apparently the national chapter sold a few PDX buildings without the local’s consent)

Shit weather here in PDX calls for layers. When this vest comes out of the stable things are getting done.

@Brian when they happen, those connections to our parent’s youth before we were around can reshape our opinions of them - or at least help to see them in a new light.

You guys have those albums that instantly pull you back to moments in your life? This is one of those for me.

RE: IHM-34-ODG - Whipcord M-51 Type Field Coat - Olive
@endo well that didn’t go as planned - I need to furnish the tailor with the wool liner, cuffs & hook! So some online research is warranted. A question for you- with your pocket liner is it below the snap? The tailor said that it was a difficult process to remove the snap

@endo bringing your post back up as I am taking my M-51 to a tailor tomorrow to inquire about these same mods. Thank you for the inspiration
