I am so stumped on what size to get. I am a small in UHF's and they fit perfectly. I would probably wear this jacket Overtop. Would it be best to get a M? I do like a snug fit and I do imagine this would stretch a bit.

Random Question I know but does anyone else get pulled aside at the airport in security because their 21oz denim is to so thick?  Every time they think I have something hidden and my jeans are empty.

They don't get as much Love as they deserve in my opinion but I'm rocking the Shinola Duck Watch. Great quality and looks fantastic!

Jacques Marie Mage - IMHO the best you can get…..

@ackoasis:

Recently got some JMM Zepherins. Smaller than the Persol Steve McQueens I was wearing before  but don't mind it. Kind that Leon The Professional vibe. The quality Of JMM though is just amazing worth the price for sure!

]Just got my Belt Loop Buddy today! This thing is awesome!

This is what fills my pockets everyday.

Awkward pose in my 14oz IH-555S 

Nothing fabulous but just went off island and got my new truck(2021 Ford Ranger)

My everyday knife. Benchmade Griptillian.

Been rocking these Persol 714's for the past few years. Really tempted to get some Jacques Marie Mage as my next pair though.

Just bought the Model 25(Small) ring as my new wedding band. Bought directly from the Good Art website! Hoping it's not too long of a wait to get. Super excited to finally get a Good Art piece!

I carry my dad's old zippo from when he was in the army.

My poor old Iron Rangers are need to be retired soon. They have suffered some cuts and soakings lately but have done well for 5 years of working in the field.

Here are my Adidas OG Purple Haze Sambas.

Headed off to see the New England Revolution vs. D.C. United today. Decided to go with a fresh pair of 21oz 777's

@neph93:

Hi everyone! Really happy to be part of this forum! I live on Nantucket out in Massachusetts but I am originally from North Carolina. Used to be big into Denim back when Styleforum and Superfuture where in their prime but just recently got back into it. As much as I work I realized I should get some denim and work on some fades! I have always admired Japanese denim and the respect they have for the process, especially Iron Heart! Looking forward to making some friends on here and seeing all the awesome jeans! Cheers everyone!

Welcome to the funhouse @ackoasis! And I'll start in on you right off…how the hell do you make a living on Nantucket? Cause I'd like to live there too!

Thank you Steelworker! I am operations manager for a Gunite Pool install company here. Believe it or not during Covid the real estate market has been the highest it has ever been here and the request for pools is unreal. On deck to do 50 pools this year and already have 70 booked for next year. Definitely lots of job opportunities out here but finding housing for workers is near impossible. It's a nice place to live but winters are rough
