@chbronsonx I have tried lighter weight stuff from other makers, there is something about the lack of stretch that sort of hurts my knees and back when I’m moving around or sitting.

@jordanscollected

Wait what the hell, last time I checked IH didn’t make any jeans with stretch. When did these bad boys come out?! My mind is blown lol

I’m probably going to get destroyed for this…. But I find 100% cotton jeans uncomfortable. I need some amount of stretch in my pants. I unfortunately discovered this after buying probably 50-100 pair of Selvedge denim trying to figure out what fit would work for me.

What year was this released?

Does anyone know why Goodart is restricting the supply of the model 10 bracelet?

The demand seems to be high for this bracelet but good art doesn't seem to want to produce it anymore. It's been sold out for so long and I cannot figure out why.

Thoughts?

First post in the new forum!

Do they make them in solid gold?

Given that this has a size "small" associated with it, does that imply that good art will be coming out with a large fish pendant?

Is it lined?

bump, wondering if there is anything else out there!

Thank you all for the suggestions thus far

Hey everyone,

I am in the market for an incredibly heavy cotton flannel.

I have owned the iron heart UHF, and absolutely love them. But I was wondering if any other companies make anything heavier than the UHF.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have the RMC USN deck jacket in olive and it is a terrific garment. It is extremely warm and one of my favorite pieces of outerwear.

If I were to buy a deck jacket today, I would go IH, only because my style has shifted a little bit away from overt militaria. Even though I haven't seen one in the flesh, my prior experiences with IH and IH outerwear and the testimonies in this forum leave no doubt as to the quality and robustness of the IH version.

I think it comes down to which design you prefer.

If you get RMC, I was surprised that for me this Japanese garment was true to size and a 40 (my real size) was a perfect fit.

If you find wool itchy, I think the RMC is pure alpaca and not a wool/alpaca blend, so that would be a better choice in that scenario.

I have no doubts about the quality of the IH jacket. Full disclosure, IH is my favorite clothing brand and I find their garments to be incredibly well made.

I guess I am more concerned with the construction quality and material choices used for the Real Mccoys version. Do you think it is very similar in terms of build quality, overall material costs, fabric weights, etc..?

Hi Everyone,

I am in the market for a deck jacket - and I am split between the following two items.

Can anyone comment on the quality of these two items? I am sure they are both great, but I was just wondering if one might be superior to the other. Both are N-1s and seem to follow very similar construction patterns.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

The only raw denim cut that I find truly works for my build is the 3sixteen CT.

Is there an analogous fit sold by iron heart?

I would love to pick up a pair of iron hearts that are roomy in the seat with a sharp taper below the knee.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you!

@Nkwkfld:

My maternal grandfather was a football coach in Minnesota in the 50’s and worked with a couple guys who had these fancy class rings from their university. My grandfather hadn’t attended university but still wanted a ring so he saved up and bought diamonds one at a time, then had them set into a silver ring that I’ve inherited. The saving up idea is cool because one day it might get passed down and mean something.

Awesome!

You'll probably be able to pass that down again at some point

Thank you for sharing

@Giles @neph93

Hey all,

In the market for some jewelry, but I know almost nothing about the brands that exist out there.

Please let me know some of your favorite jewelry brands down below.

Much appreciated

Hey everyone,

First of all, thank you for starting this thread. I have learned a good amount after reading through it…

I'm hoping that someone can help me out here - I am in the market for a bracelet but I know very little about the brands that are out there. I have come to appreciate Good Art HLWD but their prices are a bit too steep for me (maybe someday I can afford them).

Does anyone know of any other brands that sell similar items to Good Art?

I'd love to hear some suggestions. Thanks

Sorry for resurfacing such an old thread!

Does anyone have Aldens in size 10-10.5 that they want to sell?

Thanks
