Does anyone in here own the Type 3 that 3sixteen did with Schott? Either the Copper Roughout or the Goatskin? I'm just wondering what the weight of this feels like compared to those.

@seawolf @borosillykid Good to know! I'll keep an eye out for one.

@Graham That's unfortunate. I love the split steer but it's probably too thick for a California winter.

Will this be restocked?

Are there any plans to do a black one?

Thank you @chucklando for the UHF in just two days. It's a beautiful piece and exactly as described.

I love a good watch thread. Getting into watches can get you into some trouble quickly though! I recently picked up the Pelagos 39 and a Hamilton Khaki Field to add to the ever-growing collection

thankfully for my bank balance I’m watch-illiterate, but that Tudor (Pelagos 39?) is very nice indeed.

Thanks! It’s titanium so pretty light as well compared to steel.

@thread.and.steel @weftyarn Thank you both. I am not sure what my budget is but it's flexible. Cameras seem to occupy their own stratosphere when it comes to price. Growing up my mom adopted the Nikon DSLR format quickly and even back then I remember the prices being significant.

Glass over body must mean that the lenses are what I should invest in?

Not necessarily. I've been using my Leica Q which has a fixed lens for about 5 years now and love it. I take mostly street photography so I haven't needed anything different.

I agree with @weftyarn. Fuji and Sony are where I'd start.

Does anyone have any recommended locations to purchase canvas/nylon/perlon two piece short straps? The only place I've found is Veblenist but they're $75 each.

@Bren:

@thread.and.steel damn good entry UHF choice and sounds like most of our intentions when tasting the forbidden fruit; I took my first bite last year and need to reign it back in -if for nothing else then for lack of space:

Hopefully you fair better than most with your goals!!

I was debating between that one and the red buffalo check. I love my black colored clothing though so decided on that one in the end. I'm absolutely going to break my once a year IH flannel purchase already though if I can find the anniversary one that I think you have (second from the left)?

I've been on a chinos kick for the last couple years and I only wear black pants. Here's my current rotation:

• 3sixteen CH-22x Chinos

• Iron Heart 721-BLK Chinos

• Rogue Territory Officer Trouser Black Denim

• Iron Heart 777S-142od

@GardenState:

Would anyone have insight on a good mirrorless camera to get into photography with? A beginner's camera I suppose.

What's your budget?

Fuji x100's are always great reliable cameras. I've also recommended Sony Alpha's to friends. Leica's are beginner cameras price wise but there mirrorless options are fantastic.

My top grey sweatshirts I've owned are 3Sixteen and Velva Sheen. I really like the thickness and hand warmer pockets for 3Sixteen and the raglan sleeves on the Velva Sheen.

I just picked up the IH-777S-142od last week in a size 31. I know that the overdyed means all the shrinkage has already taken place. I'm going to pick up IH-777S-142bb next. Should I size up one to a 32 since there will be some shrinkage after the first wash with those or stick to the same size 31?

Just picked this shirt as my first IH flannel and I think I'm hooked now. The goal is to do one a year from now on. Hopefully I can stick to that.

I live in Sacramento CA. I've had a few IH jackets before but just purchased my first pair of denim pants from IH this week.

14oz superblack 777s please!

I guess this is my first post so I can access the market again. I've been a lurker for years but never wanted to dive too far in because if I get hooked, there goes all of my money
