The duck, the octopus and I enjoy splendid weather:

Today I'm wearing a shirt that I messed up quite badly by not washing inside out and without soaking. It still gets some love:

Bike commuting in rather unromantic autumn weather:

Have good one!

Still working in and on my 888S 21oz. Rolled up quite high the 21oz works astonishingly well in warmer temps.

Have a great day!

Do you think black shoes with a brown belt is bad taste?

Update on my 21 oz 888s from spring this year:

(The trousers are from spring, not the picture.)

This watch is probably quite well known - a Seiko SKX009 with the modest but persistent 7S26 movement. I think it's hard to argue with the design and build quality of the former 200$ watch.

Love these!

Have a good weekend!

My favourite type 3 is actually evolving quite nicely. Let's see how far I can push it this autumn :).

Hello IH-Community :),

I'd like to introduce myself very briefly here. I'm Robe (which is a cheeky reference to a Warcraft 3 item and also loosely related to the beautiful garments worn here). I joined here because I love the way you interact with each other (which is not the norm in online communication, I suppose) and I have great admiration for things well made.

For some reason I have got a thing for Japanese made stuff (Seiko watches, green tea, Murakami's novels) but also everything that ages beautifully, no matter where it comes from.

My denim journey started 2 1/2 years ago when I purchased a pair of Edwin stretch denim, which have now become my main rock climbing trousers. Bouldering is another passion of mine, but work and family life do not leave much time for that ;).

I always thought that non-stretch heavy denim would be impractical for an active lifestyle until the 888 cut proved the opposite <3. Now I wear the 888s daily with great joy.

I'm glad to be here :)!

How do you make a marriage work?

Hello,

I hope it's alright to post a pipe, since that's what I smoke occasionally :). I found that FORMER pipe in a second hand shop for about 30€ the other day and I had a new mouthpiece made. After some serious cleaning with pipe cleaners and propanol I am extremely happy with my find.

I usually smoke a standard navy flake tobacco (see last picture, the pipe is a Savinelli however).

Have a great Saturday
Robe

@E-Malus

Hey mate, I'm not primarily looking for used bags. But I think importing the GR1 from the States might still be quite expansive due to shipping and the 19% VAT.

Love the Tich Nhat Hanh quote btw!

"You're it!" as Alan Watts would say :).

Hello friends,

I'd like to buy a GORUCK GR1 21l in black, grey, olive, ... in good condition.

It'll be great if the seller was based in the EU to avoid customs.

Cheers,
Robe

Thank you Greame!

Can any owners of GORUCK bags share their experience with the product? It really is a lot of money for an edc-bag in case of the GR1. I understand they use premium materials like 1000den Cordura (which was also used with my 120€ very old Bach Wizard).

Hello,

is there a good address to buy goruck bags from when you are based in Europe?

I'm interested in the GR1 but I've never really seen it in person.

@IrishHeart said in Random Rants:

To rub salt in, those two clowns earned a greater purse than Taylor & Serrano who served up another great bout.

Sad but true. However, I strongly disagree with Tyson being a clown.

The joke‘s on me for watching the circus.

I‘m a little mad I got up early to watch a content creator fight a 58 year old Tyson.

Hey guys,
I enjoyed training last night and I was totally wiped out by my team mates as usual. I need to become able to finde some pleasure in getting pulled all over the table
