  1. Past hour
  2. https://youtu.be/zdsGXd5enKg?si=G7dmSw-wW5AsS7Gf Good interview, I enjoy he allowed E to control the narrative. Nice to know i’m not the only one constantly fidgeting with the belt straps. Unrelated but, J79-KI looks promising. Happy to see them using cotton again, does anyone have any feedback on KI?
  3. Today
  4. RRL Ralph Lauren Corduroy Collar Deck Jacket Navy Size XL, brand new (only tried on indoors) $600+shipping
  5. Just getting off work, variation on my outfit from a few days ago. 1960’s Gant shirt, Duke belt, 50’s Soviet watch, Cane’s M41150 and Lone Wolf Carpenters.
  6. The reason l think they're a cinchback model is because firstly the arc looks stitched on but there's no diamond in the centre and secondly because the red tab is placed high up almost under the bar-tacking which is generally a feature of the 1937 501XX. Just a guess though - could've had the cinch strap completely removed as well as the other pair? Great sets of photos regardless.
  7. Yesterday
  8. Not counting the afore mentioned chariot races, the first Olympic sensation I remember was Mark Spitz the swimmer who won seven golds at the 1972 Olympics.
  9. Camping life Effector, denime, fullcount, vans
  10. ^^^Good to know. I'll look into that.
  11. @Lorcan Fantastic taste, I think those 42's might be my next pair
  12. These days, pretty sure you can get induction (or electric) cookers with pretty big built-in batteries that are made to handle an hour or two of heavy draw per day without added stress to the system—could be worth looking into
  13. ^^^For us the problem is not the increased usage, rather that our system can't handle big current draws without turning on the generator. During the day, sun on the panels will handle most things, but from twilight on it's a different story...
  14. I can’t speak to the particulars, but whatever the additional draw is I can say we haven’t really noticed it on our electric bill. That might not be helpful as I’m not sure what sort of rationing you’d have to do. There was already a 220 line next to the gas line that was installed before we bought our house, that was lucky. We did notice our bill change a little when switched to EV and a plug in hybrid (our mileage is generally fairly low, most miles total are electric) - maybe 12-13k a year for spread across two cars.
  15. Being in an off-grid situation we're on propane. Like KOTH Hank's barbeque except it's a 500 gallon tank. Used to be affordable. Now it costs a f'in fortune. I've been curious about induction cookers. I suspect they're a big current draw which is problematic for us.
  16. First pic is making me feel good about getting a narrow width embossed western belt from Codina kinda specifically to wear with my Sugar Cane 42s 🤠
  17. No key ring for me either, my pair was also missing the flasher 🥲
  18. Tender Co hadal brown reefer denim jacket / Undercover tee (from 2009 S/S I think?) / Equus belt / Slash Overalls S01 / Nicks boots
  19. Back on the 13.7 oz which arrived from Bears today. You can see that despite both sizes being a 33 the SS on the right is bigger. Few days ago my wife who hardly ever comments on my jeans/clothes asked me what was up with the back of my pants 😅 The SS just bags too much on me unfortunately
  20. Thank you, @Dr_Heech! I was hoping one of the resident historians would chime in to confirm my suspicions. What gives the match strike pair away as being a 37 rather than an early war model? From that angle it doesn't look like there is, or ever was, a cinch. Here's another shot of him.
  21. Yea I totally understand not switching due to cost. I’m speaking more about all the waxing poetic about it that I’ve seen here in the US - advertising and lobbying really and then people buying into it. There has been a lot of money spent trying to make people think gas is the best, and to actively invest in it - and it’s been done largely by utilities who just want to sell gas - the fossil fuel industry. @julian-wolf You're right though. We had to ditch our wok (which was also our only pan that lacked the magnetic properties needed). I do miss that a bit, but only when I’m reminded of it! There is a bit of an adjustment.
  22. Shit, it is solely great fits on this page! Well done guys! Hope I don’t lower the quality tooo much:) Danton / Sunray Sportsware / Duke (non-wiz) / WHxHinoya disregard the footware, it was taken in backyard
  23. I think my (somewhat strong) preference for gas is rooted in some of my favorite pots & pans not having fully flat bottoms. A small saucier will operate very differently if it’s only heated from the bottom; a wok won’t operate at all. That said, I’m sure that when we inevitably do make the switch to induction, it’ll just take a year or two to forget I ever had any complaints
  24. I much prefer electric stoves but it's entirely because they're so easy to keep clean, just wipe down the flat surface and you're done. Cleaning my gas stove is annoying and time consuming that I don't even care if it cooks better or not.
  25. ^ as you mentioned briefly in your last sentence, induction stoves that match the quality (of cooking) of gas stoves are much more expensive than their gas counter parts. At least that’s how it is here. I’m not sure it’s romance, I think it’s a much more practical.
