Day out in London and just meet a fellow IH fan in a bakery who complimented my get up. He'd just got back from Japan and visited the mills in Kojima. Was rocking some nicely faded Momotaros 
Didn't ask if he was on the forum, but if you happen to see this.. thanks for the coffee!
Early morning walks are the only way I can get any wear out of this jacket mid-summer.
So refreshing!
Sashiko and 21ib is a match made in heaven 
Really appreciate how these 21ib jeans are developing. Roughly 10 weeks of daily wear with 3 washes.
Love the depth of blue in the t shirt and jeans
Happy to be back in the lefty...
Fall is finally here, baby!
Perfect attire for a cool morning stroll.
Dash of duck to mix things up as I'm still wearing the Sashiko daily..
@Denman-John around 25/6c during the daytime, but cools down a lot at night. Set to get warmer over Christmas and New Year though!
I love the variety of food you can get here. Currently waiting on Birria Tacos for breakfast, and am quietly confident that they're gonna be 'the best thing I've eaten in my life' as most meals tend to be here... 
It's been a bloody long journey, but I'm finally approaching my final destination in Thailand after over 30 hours of travel.
Managed to sneak an hour of sleep on the second flight, but strangely enough I've kinda trancended the tiredness and am feeling ready to enjoy my evening upon arrival...
First came to Thailand in 2014, and completely fell in love with the North of country. COVID aside, I've been back every year since.
I'll be staying in my favourite town of Pai for a week, before flying down south to meet a friend on Koh Samui for some diving and New Year's festivities. After that were coming back up north for another 9 nights!
Feel blessed to have three weeks off work, but my friend managed to get five weeks off, he always has to one up me ...
@GardenState if you were to wear it as a fanny pack I'd agree it'd take some confidence, but slung across the front/back I don't think anyone would think it overly ostentatious!
My IH Hickory Shoulder bag has been called a purse/handbag on numerous occasions, but this has drawn no ire so far.
@Jcaz6996 Thailand, so I won't be cold for long!
Gotta get through roughly 30 hours of travel before my final destination though... Just arriving at Gatwick airport now!
This bag and I are going be inseparable for the next three weeks! I've been letting the fellowship of fanny faders down with a distinct lack of use recently, so we've got some lost time to make up for...
@Mizmazzle can't say I've heard of him, but I've just finished packing for my vacation tomorrow and was about to a crack a beer and find something funny to watch for a few hours.. I'll look him up!
5am start tomorrow, heading to Thailand again! If the 23h of flights/transfers wasn't enough, I have a 4h minibus to my final destination to look forward to when I land in Chiang Mai. Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself, but I know it'll all be worthwhile when I get my first sip of that sweet Chang! 
@Kasi ahhh that sucks sorry to hear that! don't let it kill your birthday vibe though 
Have a good one @Kasi , any gifts planned for yourself? 
Loved Hassan Minaj's new special. The whole bit on 'Black America', 'White America' and 'The various shades of Beige-istan' really tickled me.
Had never seen his stand up before this, but was really impressed with the balance he stuck between crowd work and the continued narrative of the show itself.
