I get that, I usually just make one mug of coffee per day (usually 21g coffee/340 ml of water) and that hits the sweet spot for me. I used to drink two or three mugs per day but I had the same issue with feeling anxious and weird. -

I'm a bit of a coffee nerd. I brew mostly with a Hario V60 but sometimes Chemex, using a Fellow Stagg kettle and a 1ZPresso K-Max grinder. It's a pretty simple setup, but gets tasty results without much effort. Thank goodness I've never been particularly into espresso. My go-to roasters here on the east coast US are George Howell (Boston) and Black And White (North Carolina.) Currently drinking Howell's Dota, a Costa Rican light roast I've gone back to over and over. I tend to prefer washed or natural process coffees with some combination of chocolatey, berry, or wine flavor notes. I'm not a big fan of the various wacky and weird anaerobic process flavors that are in vogue for the last few years, to me this is like the coffee equivalent of 25 oz hyper-slub rainbow weft gimmick denim. -

Heh. I bought a pair of Wesco 7500 in 2019, they're very well stitched and have no particular cosmetic issues. My Mister Lou boots I bought in mid 2023 are comparatively sloppy, by far most noticeable on the stitchdown stitching. I found the uneven SPI so irritating that I ended up using black shoe polish to black out those white stitches, now the irregularity is practically invisible and I'm much happier with them, which is nice since beside that sloppy stitchdown work I love everything about the boots. That seems pretty minor compared to the disparity above.

Different category of clothing, but I like my Deluxeware thermal tees. Very solid and well made, for a good price. The garment quality and vibe reminds me of Flat Head, which is always a good thing. -

I'm interested in getting a green jacket. I'm looking at styles including the M-65 1st, like those made by RMC and Buzz Rickson, as well as the Runabout Overland jacket. I'd love more suggestions, especially if it's something I could plausibly find on Yahoo Auctions or Mercari for a good deal. Thanks! -

I think it's just the lighting, but the shirt's color may be slightly more purple-y than the average blue chambray. Cheers!

Been a while since I posted a fit, here’s one from yesterday. The Viberg boots are new and I’m seriously liking them. Flat Head chambray western shirt Real McCoys A-2 jacket Sid Mashburn bridle belt Buzz Rickson 1930s chinos Viberg Service Boots

Here’s my dad and myself, December 1989. He appears to be doing some work on the front door frame in a well faded pair of 501s. Good fit on these.
