I’m finding Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix oddly addictive

So as a relatively new transplant to the us and a complete incompetent at fully understanding nfl who are the neutrals supporting in the Super Bowl and why?

I’m astounded the nfl is tax exempt by the way!

@constant:

I also picked this up from iron shop provisions, the zipper on mine is a little stubborn at the bottom - cannot easily zip and unzip… any thoughts on how to improve this?

Like the quilted riders jacket I think there is a trick. Connect the zip grab the toggle on the end pull down away and out without detaching the zip and then up - works every time

@constant:

Also its dark outside, 10 degrees F, feels like -4F with 15 MPH winds… I am warm enough with a UHF underneath this jacket and the hood on!  Nice Parka... I would definitely take this snowboarding as well.

Tested it out in -16 Celsius today with waffle and a loopwheel and it did fine - albeit wasn’t standing around!

Go well Filthy

Best of luck Neph you will get there

I picked one of these up from iron shop and really delighted I did - really well made and solid. Out of interest what is the oz of insulation / down fill equivalent? While it’s warm it’s not crazy warm so layer8ng important as ever in zero minus temps

A bit more out there and esoteric than IT crowd but a really funny show is Toast of London starring Matt berry

@hajduk:

Damn! A nice one! Very!
I can only recommend this serie to you guys!

It’s great - I love the spirit warrior he is hilarious

Thank you Brock! Went for whiskey in the end (not just in hats  :))

First sourdough in nearly 5 years - pretty happy with it!

@nectarsplenty:

Anyone have some good suggestions on beanies? I got a longer face, and I feel like nothing looks right when I put it on my head.. always a struggle.

Dehen 1920 watch caps are good - pretty heavy wool though

@TonyV2022:

Shirt looks beautiful, but the price is nuts! I have UES flannels that I bought direct form Japan. With including tax (to UK) these are about half the price - are they really half as good? Serious question.

I discovered UES flannels before iron heart anything. They make fantastic flannels which are really well constructed and the UES corporate ethos and outlook and their high quality means I am still a huge fan (and whisper it their puca purcara loopwheel sweat does knock the socks off my also much loved iron heart heavy loopwheel sweats).

My initial view of IH flannels was pretty prejudiced based in part on vintage fanboy types with an iron heart beef who basically said UES / TFH etc were all far superior to overpriced, overrated IH etc. but I started getting on the forum, researching and thinking while they are expensive they look awesome and a lot of what seemed like people really focused on quality, authenticity, tough beauty etc all raved about them (without spending a lot of time dissing the not like like competition). So I bought one and many journeys down the rabbit hole over the last 18 months most of my favourite clothes and flannels are IH.

Cut:In terms of direct comparison I am a western cut fan and UES do a pretty boxy work style cut with relatively narrow shoulders and a bit of a flare so on cut and fit an IH western (for my physique at least) with wider shoulders and a tapered cut is just far better looking.

Style: I do like some of the UeS flannel patterns (I own 5) but some of their patterns especially this season and last have tended towards the garish and plain fuck ugly. While some of the IH patterns are not to my taste generally they tend towards the more coherent, attractive and flexible - a huge plus for me as you can wear them across a broader range of outfits and settings whereas some of the UES patterning seems designed to be intentionally and unnecessarily loud

Build: ues make very well constructed clothes and they are tough and last. Iron heart  though are the elite - next level build quality

Value: I think the UES flannels are great and while I recognise by any rational measure ih are expensive i am comfortable i am getting value for money.

So I summary ues are great but I personally think IH are better - you may well though feel differently

Got it thanks Giles - size chart will be my friend

For the uninitiated- noting the comment above is there literally zero stretch in these?

@Brock:

I got a few teaser pics from Cate Havstad the other day!!!

@Brock  - I think about this hat often, if you don’t mind me asking what is the felt color and how wide is the brim?

Thanks both!

How does the n1 do in snow/ cold weather? Moved to near NY earlier this year from Uk and would normally wear down coat for depths of winter and just wondering how this will compare?

Can’t wait!

Welcome to the rabbit hole….
