@Mister_Brue sorry man. Not sure how I missed your comment and question here.
I’m not much of a cook, never tried to make mango chutney. I’d guess that it is doable if one strains out the fibrous bits.
I’ll ask around and see if any of my friends tried making that chutney.

A lager from Colorado Brewery from the city of Ribeirao Preto will ease my goodbye to Sao Paulo tonight.

Quite light on the palate. In general, I understand that largely brazilian lagers are ‘very easy to drink beers”. Great for beachside drinks.

@stitchdown-shell killer flat you did there!

@Matt I’m sure Katie would have loved this on her jeans
It’s a new machine I was sampling. It’s actually a bar tacking machine with some limited embroidery. We could potentially add initials or simple short words to flat areas…needs to fit in a 40x60mm area.
I’ll be posting some videos in the new year…

Awesome idea @Lynne !
I would love something as cool as that in a seldom seen part of a special piece.
Look forward to your videos/suggestions/possibilities!

November 2018, so far my only visit to IHHQ. That was such a good day meeting everybody there. Even got to meet Paula!
Hope to make it back there during 2025. Too bad Acorn brewery is no more…

@sabergirl ace fit on an ace jacket!!

I’d say 15

This IPA by Colorado brewery tastes very good. It confirms that Colorado beers are easily preferable over Chimney beers for anyone visiting Sao Paulo wearing IH gear.

@goosehd hey buddy!
Appreciate you keeping me in mind every time garments pop out for IH peeps who live in permanent slow-roast conditions!!
Have a wonderful holiday enjoying your IHesque weather.

@Gulliver try super-glueing that broken button in the meantime. As the aren’t typically subjected to great stresses, should hold up nicely. Bet it’ll also look cool.

There’s high-energy Teddy!

Are the synthetic fibres used to add strength/durability? I love the look of this shirt, but have a skin sensitivity to synthetics (I become a funky sweat machine).

For me it was the synthetic fibres, else I would have been all over it. Beautiful shirt.

Same here.
Can’t explain it but synthetic fibres in my climate next to skin are a big no-no.

This one turned out terrific. At 7 oz it isn’t as light and airy as my three 388s but today if felt fine in Sao
Paulo’s 28 degC and 85% humidity.
I really like the slightly more structured fit of this one. Serious contender to end up as one of my top 3 SS favorites.

Malls are looking very Xmassy around here.

Today was the red’s turn…sitting around at a hospital waiting for my brother to undergo a routine check up colonoscopy.
It has been a long wait, this’ll cost him more than a couple beers.

388 paired with Stevenson Overall Colts Chinos in charcoal and Scarpa Mojito Wrap Bio in thyme green.

That is a beautiful wallet @Kasi , especially when paired with that GAH silverware.
Does it exclusively fit credit cards? Single compartment?

@sabergirl your 08 case sounds identical to mine on the 79.
I wouldn’t trust a local tailor to replace the entire zipper. I’d be wary of ending up with a messy pair of plackets…
@krebsy you got the name of the failing part, reinforcement tape, nailed down. Thanks. I like your suggestion re: gorilla glue. Happy to try that when I’m back.

Nice fix!

My 79 is up for repairs after 5 years of stellar service. On my last 34 day (10500 km) bike trip, the zipper started giving me trouble. Problem pops up as I try to zip up.
The backing behind the male side of the zipper has lost rigidity, become floppy and has a tough time being coaxed all the way down to ensure the teeth on both sides line up to ensure the zipping up process.
A plasticky/whitish coating has become damaged/degraded/peeled and thus the loss of rigidity. Don’t have my 79 with me on this trip but I’ll get pics once I am back home to clarify the issue.
In the meantime I wanted to ask the brotherhood of 79-followers whether anyone else has experienced anything like it.

@tody today I enjoyed another Chimney IPA. I enjoyed it much more than the pilsner. I still have an imperial stout, also a Chimney beer in the fridge.

I’m a huge Ortlieb fan. Have their waterproof roll bags in three sizes and they are all I take on multi-day bike trips.
I’ve started having probs with their buckles. Three have partly broken and, although still usable, they are a hassle to unbuckle.
Next trip I plan on getting a dozen spare buckles. These things will outlast me.
