Guess I was just thinking about leather. Mink, sable, fox, chinchilla and the rest are probably raised just for fur. Never heard of anyone eating them, though I'm sure at some point someone gave it a go.
Venison and gator are both pretty tasty, on the other hand.
Here in the South folks will eat just about anything we can catch. -

What kind of clothing are you supposed to wear in 20 degree Fahrenheit weather?
Depends on how coldblooded you are.
When I was youngster we had just jeans, boots or sneakers, longsleeved shirt and thinner jacket or heavier jacket + T or s/s shirt.Actually that's what I wear nowadays also… but then I'm used to a bit colder climate.

Deer meat is awesome. Never had gator, but will probably try some when I hit New Orleans in the spring
Growing up in the Northeast, there are three kinds of 20 degree Fahrenheits
- it's cold but not windy. This isn't so bad
- it's cold and it's fucking windy. Cover up, especially your face. The wind will literally be like a razor, and you'll get splits on your face and hands
- It's cold, it's fucking windy, and it's wet. This is where I like a down jacket, because it'll keep you dry and warm.
If it's just cold and windy, I find that it pays off to layer leather over a wool sweater. Layers are your friend, especially if you're going to be in and out

@ our singaporean stubbor crew members…
know anything about this brand?
I'm wondering about their material and construction – they look like they know their stuff with single needle shirting and what not.
-
its not a big brand – basically i just want to see if the construction/material is worth the price. more info is on their facebook page. Was looking at the v-necks under the essentials section and the red check shirt

yes, they're pretty well known in SE asia (esp.indonesia, singapore, malaysia). i think their quality is pretty good, utilizing egyptian cotton etc.

What are some good lightweight gloves? Id prefer them without finger tips so i can still text on my cellphone…does anyone have any suggestions?I just bought a pair of fingerless merino gloves from Banana Republic for $25-40% off. They're having sales lately, you might be able to snap a pair up on the cheap

Would sleeping in a flannel harm its shape or stretch it out as would happen if you slept in a tshirt?
Depends on how you sleep. I haven't had a good night of sleep in like…three years...and I roll around a lot. My tshirts are pretty stretched out after one or two wears at night
A wash will bring them back to size though

lol..that post made you sound like 90 years older than you are…
Just wear the flannel for one night and report back ...We can do anything

The flannel shirt I had made for me by Backous is too big so I use it to sleep in - warm as fuck and don't wanna let a nice shirt go to waste…
But I've also slept in jeans the last year or so... So maybe I just have issues…

… my problems sleeping has more to do with all the crap that goes through my head when I'm trying to relax
I have the same problem. Only thing that has ever worked is Ambien. I'd prefer not to be hooked on drugs, but consistently getting a good night's sleep is really, really nice.
