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?

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

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.
Should we do a 3 rounder at a different pace and see if it works for everyone? I'm also down for one downvote per round as well, liked that with some other leagues.
this might be the year I start buying black denim again. 8-10 years ago all I wore was black and various shades of grey on stages around the world. Might also start getting into some different cuts.
I’m working my ass off today and with kids all weekend. Looking forward to digging into this episode on a long drive on Monday!

Has anyone here removed a satin liner from a baseball cap or other hat? I have a Capas brand linen cap with a satin liner and it has exactly 0% breathability and I get overheated every time I wear it. It seems easy enough to snip out of there but I’m wondering if there’s something I’m not considering.
You should be able to just flip up the sweatband and snip or seam rip it out. Only issues you may come across are unsightly exposed seams on the inside that weren’t meant to be seen, or possibly the underside of the top button on the inside may feel uncomfortable on the top of your head. I’ve done it to some and the bottom of the snap slightly pulled the hairs on the top of my head.
That hat looks like one that was made from a company I worked with for years in Newark, NJ. If the white union size tag has a BHM or an HC on it, it was one of ours.

Looking to trade my IHT-1610 XL's for the same in size Large.
I've got:
IHT-1610 Grey
IHT-1610 Marl Grey
IHT-1610 Olive
All in excellent condition and lightly worn. Hit me up and I can send some pics and measurements.
How about a set of denim coveralls? 21oz, 18oz, 17oz natural?
Or how about some bibs in 14oz?
6.5oz or 7.5oz sleeveless shirt?
21oz denim backpack?
Just rattling off some tings that have been on my brain the last couple of days as I'm getting ready for Spring and Summer.
Wore mine today and yesterday. It's probably the only IH piece I have that my wife doesn't think, "how can that be comfortable??"
Did you come here with a general desire to learn why people like IH, or just to say you think it’s not worth it?
Either way, we’re not here to sell or convince anyone on it. Very simply, if you get it you get it. If you don’t, just move on?
I’m club teardrop for life. I could have a stratoliner in every color.
Look for used drum cases on your local market. Ive wearing hats for years, and used to tour a lot and would stash my hats and things in snare drum or rack tom cases and fly with them and they always worked great. Also have a few hat specific luggage cases that I bought from a local hat shop.
If you were in Nashville I’d have several options that I could just give to you!
My brothers and sisters of the bib'hood. I've already got the indigo 805's, the hickory 807's, and the black wabash 819's. Should I step to the white 812 bibs?
If they were more of a natural ecru color, I would be all over them. I'm thinking of nabbing them and maybe dyeing them down the road.
I've been jonesin for a Jeep Wrangler forever, and once the kids get a little older and we are out of car seat land I was thinking of picking one up. Last week with all the crazy winter storms, Nashville got hAmMeReD with ice and there was a blue wrangler flipped upside down in the ditch at the end of my neighborhood. Was there for a few days after the storm, so I saw it everyday on the way in and out.
So all that to say, I think I'll get a red one.
Was trying to make it work, but just couldn't get away this weekend. Just visited the shop a couple days after Christmas and met Champ and picked up a couple of goods. Loved the shop!
You guys are welcome to head a couple hours north to Nashville afterwards, for an Iron Heart x My Living Room event tomorrow! Anyone else is invited!
