Yeah I think that may be the issue. Small is sold out, so can’t exchange it. Might get a shawl cardigan down the line though.

@goodrain actually that gap doesn’t look too bad! I was participating in the nomos advent everyday hoping for at least something, but no dice haha

I recently picked up these OSB trench oxfords in “black walnut” roughout. I love the elston last and these are pretty great so far. Grain is pretty mismatched between the two, but wabi sabi I guess

I love a good bracelet actually, but aside from Tudor I haven’t found a super comfortable one. But for the club I actually considered it! My concern was the long lugs would have it sit too far away from the case

I was reading your post and was reminded by @fre-co’s Russell Mocs below; Russell used to offer a custom minimalist boot. It’s had a zero drop vibram rubber sole, and I think they also offered leather camp sole. I believe they also did wide widths. I never ponied up, but something to think about if you’re ever in the market. Edit: they still make them apparently https://www.russellmoccasin.com/minimalist-footwear-custom-made/

@discworkI really like it. It’s a strange anomaly in that it can do both tool and dress pretty well. Check out the #longinessector posts on insta; there’s some good examples of it dressed up there. It’s kind of ironic that this piece is probably what I would wear in dressier situations, and has the least polished steel surfaces of the 3 here. In fact only the case back is polished, and the rest is nicely brushed. I have just a couple minor quibbles so far; I forgot how noisy the 289X based movements can be. They also seem less solid somehow. Like if you tap the case you can hear it. Kind of hard to describe. That’s pretty minor though. Other thing is the 30m water resist. I’m never going to go swimming or anything with a leather strapped watch, but I always appreciate a bit more towards the “what if”. I just can’t understand how they couldn’t have gotten a bit more out of it. I’ve read some stuff on the dink about how 30m is plenty, blah blah blah. While I do agree, I guess I just get nervous with a snap on caseback, and push-in crown. Other than that, it’s great so far. Perfect size for me. I find myself drawn to that space of 38-39mm lately. The dial is also something special in person.

State of the collection. Still have the bb41 as well; trying to figure out what to replace it with. Sorry, no denim, but I think the watch lovers will give me a pass

Gents, anyone have any sweaters by Dehen 1920? I ordered their submariner sweater in size medium and it fits quite large; especially billowy in the arms. Planning on sending back. Just wondering if this fit is common among their range.

@mpukasI haven’t worn my pair yet and they’re still sitting on ice. Unfortunately nothing to report on them other than the initial measurements. They’re likely to be next in the queue if I can stop bringing in other pairs

Thanks B_F!

Guys, I’m not sure if it was this thread or somewhere else where I read that Hayashi-San is involved to some extent with another apparel brand, or maybe just modeled some of their clothes. Am I imagining this?

@Jared_Lee Jared, just wondering what your opinion is on Todd Snyder? I read somewhere that he was creative director or something at Jcrew awhile back (before muytjens?), and also recently read that TS is now utilizing the liquor store location. Just thought I’d ask, being that you worked there during their heyday. Myself, I like much of what TS puts out, but find the quality to be hit or miss. Price on sale is usually good, but msrp a bit steep for what you get. Sorry to derail the thread folks!

^ Not bad at all. I got shipping notification as well this morning. As I’m in the US, I shouldn’t be getting a customs charge on it. Which is a good thing, because I got boned pretty hard from customs via DHL twice this summer on two watches I ordered. I have a pair of natural tapered on the way as well. Ordered the 605-70, which is a 13.5oz slubby denim.
