I have a pretty worn-in non-chambray Neil shirt, and a non-worn-in chambray Neil shirt, and a few non-Neil chambray shirts in in various stages of wear…any preference? -
Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

Feels like as good a time as any to shout out Huston Textile; I’ve handled a slew of their fabrics and they’re nicer than anything that I’ve seen come out of Cone Mills or its recent reincarnations in the last bunch of years. The Reddit dweebs would have you think that Vidalia was the very last bastion of domestically woven denim, but the reality is that there’s probably still at least a dozen small family-run mills putting out top quality product. There’s even plenty of smaller, more boutiquey / fashion-oriented brands putting out jeans & jackets that are made in USA / Canada top to bottom—they just don’t have any interest in catering to the repro crowd, or don’t perceive there as being enough of a market to warrant it. Go to any crafts fair in a borderline hip city and you’ll see at least a couple very cool (if non-SuFu-approved) options. -
^ Lots of great stuff there. What happened to warrant building up such a stash just to get rid of it?!

No, they ship internationally; I’ve ordered from them a couple of times and it’s never been any trouble.

I have a brand new Django Atour Peaked Lapel Jacket (https://www.ateliergardenia.com/items/98041158) in size LL that’s quite a bit too small on me. It’s a really lovely jacket, and I’m sad not to be able to make it work. It would probably be a good fit for a US M or JP L, give or take. Photos and measurements on Atelier Gardenia’s website are largely accurate, but here are some shots with a tailor’s tape as an extra point of reference. Happy to post more detail shots on request. The fabric is a beautiful mid-weight linen, and it’s half-lined in a very soft cotton. The workmanship is top notch. I paid ¥55k = $360, which already felt like a steal, but I’d be happy with taking a bit of a loss for the sake of getting it to a good home. Send any reasonable offers my way.

Dropped by my long-time favorite pub yesterday—Schmidt’s, in Albany, for anyone in the area—for a couple pints, plus a pizza (not pictured) from another favorite joint over on that side of town. Always a great feel to the place, which doubles as a tobacconist (or maybe it doubles as a pub). They keep fresh Old Speckled Hen on tap, my consistent go-to—but also usually have one or two good Belgians, often from my old favorite Quebecois brewery Unibroue. The pictured table is incidentally where I wrote a good chunk of my thesis, a couple of years ago now.- 939 replies

They really always put out the best samplers & mixtapes The “Stones Throw 101” double feature from ca. 2004 (maybe emceed by Peanut Butter Wolf??) in particular has been a long-time favorite; some of the Madlib mixes on there are head & shoulders above the official album versions…plus my home town gets a little shout out

Well yeah, as of recently Evisu Japan itself no longer really exists, but that’s a whole separate can of worms…

@Double 0 Soul Your go-to loop looks absolutely prime; every time you post new photos I enjoy looking through them even if it’s much of the same subject matter Around half of my favorite climbing “content” comes out of the Peaks District, so (overall great aesthetics aside) it’s really interesting to see some shots from a different perspective. Would love to make it out there some time in person
