there was a grumpy black bear in the area yesterday so I went to set a trap

It must have stuck to the paved roads, because all I found was evidence that not all turkeys perished for the sake of this past thanksgiving. This fella was all alone, tracked him for half a mile but I wasn't dressed well enough to follow where he was taking me

.

Today it was above freezing for the first time in a few weeks (10F - 57F) so I tried to take advantage of it.

This is my home

(edit) sorry for that blurry first one, it is supposed to be a gif but I can't get it to work

In the first two photos I am standing in Civil War trenches dug by the Union Army.

hope this is ok, while sorting photos for my first Durrty Dozen +2 post I found a whole batch of photos from my time with the Stripes and figured I'd post few

there is definite fading, but it is really hard to capture

Hey Switch,

The herringbone is 100% cotton denim that is reversed to show more white and look more like wool then denim.

Cya tomm!

.

sounds great

.

called the shop yesterday and had a chat with a friendly chap Crosby. He informed that the Engineer jacket and the Blacksmiths are the next to get stock/restock. It'll be a possible 6 weeks for more of the Ranch Hand if you are interested. I'm bummed, I think this will be perfect for late February here, but pleases because there will be restock. Thought had missed the train.

very nice, trying to figure out what the shrink will be

.

nice arrow^^

I have been very strong in my feelings the a cap toe Jumper boots is unbeatable, but those shell pit boots are hurting my feelings

.

Pants have arrived at the post office today. I won't get a chance to check them out until I get out of class tonight.

thanks tg76

since the weather has been slightly above freezing here for a week or two I have had the chance to wear something lighter. I am finding that I no longer fit in what I had before winter. Its a shame, this wasn't easy to find. This jacket is practically water proof.

.

are they there yet?

.

I checked friday and they were not, i will go today in between classes and check again

.

standard last

strange, that definitely looks like the modern swing last. maybe it is the close trim

.

I think this may have become too small for me

.

^^sharpe^^

bump... its a doozy

I don't think I'm next, but send me a PM if no one else ends up contacting you. Great pictures, bud.

I think I will send them off to you Friday.

If someone believes they were next but didn't speak up when I asked last, make some noise

drop to $250

Stop tempting me. I have almost had john from speedwayshop special order the size 16 for me multiple times. I just never hit the send button for the email.

I have almost picked these babies up as well.

.

i thought that you already owned these, or something incredibly similar

.

just tossing it out there if anyone has a pair of either in size 10.5 collecting dust let me know.

Just ordered a pair of the Pointer Brand "Fisher Stripe" (herringbone) work pants. Should be interesting to see what arrives, given how bad the photos are on the Pointer site.

this fella has a pair, no fit picks, but they look decent. I asked him about sizing a few months ago, and he said tts, or size up, but all the info i have gotten previous was to go down in size at least 1, maybe two if you are skinny. I have been hung up on getting a pair for over a year now.

.

and after wash...

waist 32

everything else is the same

sounds good

^^ thank you for posting this, i can't stop watching it

"all i wanna scream is Jessi! yeah i don't know why im always doin that"

.

It is about time, this is going to be painfully interesting to follow. It is hard keeping track of all the different Alden variations from different stores, hopefully all are welcome here

Anyone with size 10.5 Indys and wanna sell, I wanna buy. just tossin that out
