And if You want to go at the LoRa path here is an example - https://www.instructables.com/LoRa-GPS-Tracker/
Attaching this kit to light and the buoy and restricting the geofencing should be more accurate for the anchor movement compared to the whole boat.

@Karol thank God you know how to spell buoy…

[Karol]

@Tago-Mago I see it now

It's leather, does not come uniform.....

Not the Leather G the Print , Design doesn’t seam so defined. It’s really faint in places was just wondering if it’s been altered.

[Jcaz6996]

@Giles my First pair of XHS bought in 2020 still brand New

Forth pair bought last week.

Would even say the leather is different.

[Giles]

@AdamJ @AdamC Notice any changes?

[AdamC]

@Jcaz6996 @Giles @AdamJ I havent noticed any difference and feels the same looking at an old patch comparing it to the run of XHS. AJ and Alex are going to Japan next week though so I am sure they can confirm if any changes have been made

I found these in my loft space the other day does anybody out there have an idea of their history,

[goosehd]

@gazza61 99% sure that it’s US Army insignia. @WhiskeySandwich may be able to confirm.

Just double checked and the crossed rifles is US Army Infantry.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@gazza61 @goosehd is right. The Eagle looks like the officer's cap device and the crossed rifles is the in infantry collar device. Both worn in the dress uniform. They look pretty old, but hard to tell the period because these things stay pretty much unchanged for the sake of tradition.

@Fadez a small mount of bleach in the wash water id think would help as long as the shirts all white. Either that or take it to a dry cleaner to see if they can help. I have a white chambray (54?) and that helped with the ring around the collar.

[gazza61]

@WhiskeySandwich thanks for your help

[gazza61]

@goosehd great thanks for your help.

@Matt @Fadez buy some oxi, spray it on raw raw and rub, then runde. Repeat a couple of times, then wash. I haven’t met a stain that can’t be shifted with oxi.

dang, lost another post to glitch....retry...

I know OD jeans are just regular indigo/white that have taken a hot dye bath, but do they generally come from the same batch as the indigo? Is there like a double size batch of indigo ordered then it's split and some are OD'ed and sold as such? What i'm getting at: if they're from the same batch, could the OD be assumed to have stated as the same measurements as the indigo? Could one assume the end result of stretch would end up around the same as a non-OD'ed pair? I ask because, at least for the 888s-142od, the waist measurements are about an inch smaller. Just curious how these things work out.

Yes, exactly

That's a fair assumption, but obviously exact stretch is down to the wearer...

@Alex thank you for scratching my curiosit-itch

[SKT]

Just noticed the difference in the stitching on the pockets of these two pairs of jeans. On the 18 oz, there is a line of stitching above the bar tacks on the left side of each pocket (pic 1)and on the 21 oz the bit of stitching is above the interior bar tack (pic 2). Is this just random or is there a purpose? Just curious

[goosehd]

@SKT Curious as well, but my assumption is that it's because of the person doing the sewing.

[SKT]

I’m sure you’re right. Now I’m wondering why it’s just over one bar tack of each pocket and not both?
