Thanks_M8

@Broark: 

If you are in europe anyways might head out to greece and turkey as well. Under the radar as well would be bucharest, sibiu and the likes, romania has lots to offer talking nature and 1900s cities.

Relax mates, read leather seat on the bike and it rained a fair bit

Think it will relax with a few washes.
Anyways, this is the verdict.

I think they are picking up character.

Or I should go visit a doctor...

It seems to me that there is no point in trying to dissect Italy into single separate objects of perception, like stand alone pizza or ricotta, or anything else. This is a trick of the mind from the impotence to see what Italy is as a whole... No offense, okay?

All good mate, just my personal favorites

^ try the ligurian pizza mate and that goat ricotta and great olive oil! 

Get well and stay well mate! 

^PSA for example, I think

^ they abandoned the heavy blanket lining...

@bartlebyyphonics they still have a few jacket with the action back on the workwear-site attachable lined hoods also available, but with velcro straps in the front

Think these might the price for highest durability. SC41351

Do you have any particular recommendations? This seems right up my alley as a day trip

Also, for anyone who's spent time around Southern or Central Germany: Recommendations for hostels or other easy places to stay?

Landed this morning, and having a great time so far

Tbh the best ones are usually the ones directly bought from the cheesemakers. If you are in the area, ask locals, maybe search for a farm shop, where a farm directly sells their produce, might score a good bread and cured meats in the process as well. 

Re Hostels: Usually there are a few smaller hotels, if a village or city is a bit touristical. Else the usual chains (ibis, BnB, ....) are solid options, airbnb is worth checking out as well

Have fun mate

Slowly but surely working on the RRRs

Been searching for a few for the coming winter myself @Cocoa_Lapin. 
From what I gathered: vintage is always a good option, scottish or irish made vintage ones can be found pretty cheap on the bay. Also Anderson & Co. looks good, great selection as well, can't comment on the quality though, have yet to try them. 
Heimat also gets good reviews, bit pricey, but will probably outlast you. 

Warehouse, fullcount, denime. Resolute, evisus summer denim are also around that 13oz range, so on the lighter end of the spectrum

@julian-wolf

baked goods: pretzels, like the real ones, bavarian ones, swabian ones, taste both and make yourself an opinion, if you are in swabia: "Briegel" & "Seelen", maybe "Dinnete", if you are in Baden or the alsace tarte flambe or "flammkuchen", "zwiebelkuchen" is also a big thing around these parts, but you might be a little late for it. classically with fresh wine. 
If possible try the whole grain breads, usually made in rectangle molds, lots of grains, sometimes nuts and stuff

cheese: lots and lots of tiny cheesemakers in the alps between munich and italy, sometimes takes a good hike to get there, but you should try it out.

That's whole Germany for you

Though the same @beautiful_FrEaK  

anything withing a half day or day by train is pretty much: slovenia, austria, switzerland, the swabish and badish regions, even northern germany takes about 8 hours via ICE train. Maybe even try out the alsace, right across the border of Baden. 
you could visit lake constance, the alps and the black forest and the vosges in a matter of 4 days if you rent a car. 

^absolute banger!

Congrats to the both of you @Broark!

the 1966's are starting to look really good at the ~5 month mark.

These remind me of the resolute 710s vibe-wise. Really dig your pair mate

Guess that was a short trip with go west....

The fibres probably degraded over time.

Well time for some new black jeans

@blooming TCB black ‘60s? Freewheelers 601RB?

I have a pair of black 1001xx / 1000 from a bunch of years ago that are great, would be all for a reissue

Black 60s? Am I out of the loop or is it a typo?
