I use these pattern hooks that I got locally from Imogene + Willie here in Nashville. I've tried to source different ones or even make my own, but for $3 a piece they are hard to beat.

Made an XHS morale patch for my Goruck from hem cutoff scraps.

Still holding about for a Hickory bib re-release, or a lucky find on the secondary market..

I'd 100% arrive in Hamburg head to toe in that fabric

Oh yea?

If you just need some time alone, tell your kids that you're in time out and you'll be back in 10 minutes.

My Grandfather was a pilot and a navigator in the Navy and Air Forces during WWII. The plane he was on went down somewhere over the Philippines in 1945, and he floated in the ocean for a few days before being rescued. Somewhere over the years, the Type A-11 that he wore (and was wearing at that time) found it's way into my hands. It wasn't working, and is rusted out in areas (obvs) but has always meant a lot to me. I finally found another one from the same maker (Elgin) and the same year (1944) and decided to pick it up. It is also in perfect working order and has a period-correct olive watch band on it! Beyond stoked to be wearing this piece and think of Grandpop every time I put it on!

Here's his original watch, which I have on a shelf on our family gallery wall:

And here is the one I just picked up:

Local denim makers here in Nashville, Imogene + Willie, hosted a Pinewood Derby race in their backyard on Thursday night. I entered on a whim and won first place.

Also, when naming and painting my car, I learned that there were different spelling of Selvage and Selvedge depending on the country. The more you know!

Me waiting for someone else from Nashville to join the forum

Well, someone will spend those dollars and get the bug, then they'll eventually find their way here to the real thing.

Love seeing everyone's posts and pics! One of my fav things was seeing all the significant others wearing IH. I'm still hoping one day to get my wife in some IH gear. I might have to start small with a bag or something along those lines.

Just picked up a 1964 Fender Bassman matching head and cab at a local pawn shop for $900 this afternoon. Don't really need it, but will likely use it to trade for something else.

I don't sell much on eBay, but I probably buy something every other month or so. I usually list and sell clothes on Grailed (fee$) or Poshmark (fee$$$$$) but may step to ebay and try and move a few things. I think I've only ever sold IH items on this forum, always forget about trying to sell IH adjacent items and usually list those on other sites.

Bump, someone grab these great jeans!

Nice. Good customer service really is not that difficult. I can’t believe how so many companies fall so short. Love when businesses actually give a shit about making a customer happy.

Thinking of stepping up my camera game. I used to do a lot of shooting, but bringing my real camera with me these days is more of a chore. I have a Nikon D750 with a 50mm 1.4, and also a 24-70mm. I've been using my iPhone a lot to take pics, but miss having a dedicated camera.

Size and portability are a big selling point for me, should I step to a Fujifilm X100V? There seem to be quite a few on the used market since people are picking up the X100VI's.

@marco23d appreciate ya. Thanks and just let me know!

I also had a desltop iMac that I loved when I was editing photos and such more often. I think it was a 2014 or so? I stopped using that when I moved my desk into the middle of my office and just can't seem to go back. Took the iMac off the desk since I didn't like having to have a plug running across the floor.

I'm currently using a mid 2013 macbook air. Think it might be time to upgrade..

I don't need the newest of the new, but what would be the oldest I should look for? I've been told to not go with anything that doesn't have the M1 chip. I'd be buying used from FB Marketplace (if they seemed legit) or possibly refurbished online.

@Tago-Mago just looking for second hand to save on money. Plus, I actually prefer the older style pockets!

Looking for a deck vest, most likely size medium. Looking for about a 22” pit to pit. Not picky on color, but would prefer khaki or olive.

Sames!
