@shagbark_hick I got a tyrol and hardly wear it. A bit goofy and the brim is too short for the weather protection I want. This one has been a nice compromise:

@bradkelly My dad let me pick out a tree for our backyard when I was young, of course I picked a giant sequoia.

It's now 20-30ft tall, hoping I can leave it there to be someones massive headache a few generations from now.

@shagbark_hick But was that reason simply that's what was available in large enough quantities for tents? Cotton and flax weren't exactly prolific in desert places. I'm sure it would buffer some temp swings but 1/2" of fabric is going to be a rounding error compared to air exchange temp wise

@WassonWatch @hamiltonwatch @ThatsJared Am I crazy or in both ads is the watch crudely photoshopped onto the model?

@mr_jackdonovan It's the three P's:

Payday loans
Pawnshops
Pitbulls

I love a good pawn shop, but I better have to drive there.

@baltic_dan Dan Baltic is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

@BlokeOnTheRange I have one of the less faded ones I bought in Melbourne, but mine isn't made by swanndri. Seems they contracted out with a few different woolen makers for these.

It's actually very similar to the UK MTP parkas in cut and style.

@Brushbeater I want a low enough low end to use a thermal clip on, and as much on the high end and as much objective size as I can afford

Forgot my old TAD Nexus belt with the TSA so I had to make a new one. As much as I like the idea of leather I've come to like the consistency and moisture resistance of biothane. It's also easier to sew with if you don't have leather working experience.

Mother-in-laws are pretty great.

Loving the absolute heat death construction on this timber cruiser vest in OR. Snaps set in webbing is right up there for most durable front closures

We used to make beautiful tools.

One of the very coolest bookstores I've ever been in. Open two days a week or by appointment in Cottage Grove Oregon.

This is the future I was promised.

They stole this from us.

@TheWorthyHouse I only consume the audio form and don't think Twitter lends itself to long form. Far prefer just seeing your thoughts on here.

Army Air Force pants from the 50s and 60s are pretty neat.

This pair has a cotton shell with an alpaca liner.

I said we cozy this winter.

@amerpipedream Also recommending ozone generator. Could be useful in the future to take some edge off the funk of incoming shipments as well

[The Feature Kreep @TheFeatureKreep]

@amerpipedream Armpit gussets are unnecessary if you pattern the armhole correctly. Just copy a UK smock if you want the maximum arm mobility.

UK style darts in the external pockets for more volume could also be a winner.

[The Feature Kreep @TheFeatureKreep]

@amerpipedream I'd recommend going to an external patch pocket rather than the internal pocket bag. Likely lower the build cost and have a more heritage look and mirror the chest patch pockets.
