Daughter stole my phone and among the 30 blurry closeups and screenshots she somehow took she got this one, which is better than anything I’d ever shoot.

What I wear every day…

Loving the Gordo, very aptly named.

Last pics of my PIH10ANT before being put away for the 19L. Maybe I should take the opportunity to send them in for repair…

@HeavyGenes Sweet! I need to hang something from the top ring too if I remove my keys.

@7tacos damn. Goals.

Thanks for all the feedback! I’ll try hanging my keys separately on the jumbo. Thanks for the clip 8 picture @Kasi , super helpful.

@Alex_24 thanks for the suggestion. I hooked the jumbo onto the goosebump, but it ends up sticking out perpendicular. I’ll keep playing around.

Looking for some opinions. Turns out not much fits on a jumbo spring ring, specifically my noodle and shorty, so I’ve been wracking my brain on how to set up what I’ve got. Basically, I need a way to get the noodle connected to the jumbo…

Anyone have an AA clip 8? I’m thinking the jumbo on the blb, then the clip 8 connecting that to the noodle, if it fits. Brainstorming is half the fun, but I’m worried I’m just creating some hideous Frankenstein setup (if it isn’t already). Should I just eat the jumbo and buy another regular spring ring, keep thinking, or leave it as is?

Thanks!

@chrikelnel:

@Vickt Is that a sebenza I spy? Great pickups.

Yep, good eye. Small sebenza with snakewood inlay. Feel like the wood darkened so you can’t see the spotting anymore though…

Just got my first GAH pieces. Damn.

Next up a wallet with an actual ring instead of my jury rigged loop, and probably a silver BLB…

Hands down, the best pants ever. Back pocket wore through and crotch is thinning, so have a pair of 555-XHS on the way to rotate and extend their life. Measurements almost identical except for a higher rear rise, so here’s hoping I love them just as much.

Then in a few months going to try and wear a pair of 666-19L for a year for the indigo invitational that I have no hope of winning because I’m incapable of creating high contrast fades. Really was just an excuse to buy a pair and stash a pair.

Also, snuck into my company’s promo vid in full Iron Heart 

My favorite pair, when they actually fit. Had them for about 3 years but weren’t worn much due to weight gain. Just gave them their first wash.

Love it so much I had to get both.

Wore it the past few days and gardened a bit, so gave it a cold machine wash with low spin. Very happy to report that it didn’t shrink at all. Love this shirt, and will most likely be buying the indigo/indigo version as well.

Quick dirty mirror pic, sorry. I’m more concerned with length. I like it at least 29” and it’s right about 29.25” now so hopefully ok. Did yours shrink a lot in length Neph?

Just got mine and absolutely love it. Fit is perfect. Will it really not shrink? I always cold wash and hang dry, but my UHF definitely shrunk a good bit even with that.

Picked one up from Self Edge. Had a small issue but they went so far above and beyond to take care of me that I feel bad for even mentioning anything. Just had to give a shout out that they are awesome.

After being sorted I gave it a warm wash and it came out stiff as hell and about a half size larger than my OD version, which is perfect. This is pretty much the only Type III I will ever need.

Awesome, thank you. Wasn't sure if the OD ones were identical before the process. Looks like a Large and a trip through the wash!

Looking for some sizing advice…

I have the IH-526Lod in Large and the fit is just about perfect. Shoulders about 18.5" straight across the front (forgot IH method was different), Chest ~21.6", Waist ~19.3", Opening ~19.2", Sleeve ~25.5"

The sleeves could be a touch longer but that's about it. If I got a Large in this jacket could I shrink it to around the Lod measurements, or would a Medium be better? Afraid the M would be too snug even if it never touched water though. Thanks!

Gonna rock it and do some hack sew job if the time ever comes. Here are some really far away pics from today…

@Vickt:

Bothers me a little, but not enough to go through the hassle of an exchange. More wondering if I should do something now to prevent it getting worse, or leave it be. I usually sew up holes but the spot is a bit weird so I’m not sure how to go about it.

Just edited my og post with relevant advice.

Thanks!
