1995 Gibson Custom Shop Classic

Congratulations, Austin! Good to hear that all went well. Enjoy every minute with her. They grow up really fast.

Happy Holidays and safe travels!!

Lee Storm Rider 101 LJ jacket original from 60s/70s. Dating these jackets seems to be a bit up in the air. This jacket does have the M.R. (Marca Registrada) on the inside label and the black pocket flap tag. The inside label is an embroidered version. There are two holes in the forearm area of the left arm. One button is missing from the left adjustment strap on the back. Wonderful condition. Just worn in the right amount. Size 44 regular. I'm a 44 in a suit jacket. The Storm Rider cut is slim. I can wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt underneath, but it's most comfortable with a t-shirt. If you are a 42 or smaller, you could layer depending on your build. Listing here for a couple of days before I put it on ebay. Asking $300.00. Plus shipping. Price will go up on ebay. Forgot measurements: Pit to pit: 24 1/2" (remember jacket is lined, don't want this to be deceiving) Shoulders: 22" Sleeve from seam: 24" Waist: 21"

@CSLMore hat details! Please

I was thinking that a thread dedicated to measurements of make/models would be helpful. I know a lot of stockists have varying size charts. I'm thinking of a thread where you list the make/model/tagged size and measurements. Before and after soak/wash if possible. We could list more than just the normal waist/front rise/thigh/knee/hem. I'd love to see back rise and hip. The year of production may also be helpful if companies change the cut over time. I've not actually looked for a search within thread function here. But if that function exists, it would make that thread pretty useful. At least to me. I also realize that this is posted in many of the brand specific threads.

My Iron Hearts and I went to the apple orchard/pumpkin farm with my grandsons. Had a great day. At the end of the day number 1 was a bit worn out and number 2 was still ready to go.

Which is why I think we need a "standard" hip measurement along with front rise and back rise to understand top block fit better. Measurement #3 on the chart. Of course, there is the question of how far down from waist to take the measurement...

I love my American Giant zip classic. Definitely longer. Men's Hoodies & Sweatshirts | American Giant (american-giant.com)

Still loving my Midnight 16 oz ranch blouse. The perfect denim jacket for me.

I am out of words Duke. You win. What amazes me is how unique all of your belts are. How you come up with so many fresh designs is astounding.

@Dr_Heech yes, I probably posted most or all of those on denimbro. I didn't save all of those. Should have.

@shredwin_206 I'll try to dig up some of my photos. I've seen quite a few with bottom not buttoned. And usually they have the very top buttoned. Just the opposite of what I find comfortable. So, I've dug thru a ton of my saved photos. It seems the unbuttoning of the bottom or just buttoning the top was mainly (not always) a early thing. Mostly seen in late 1800s/early 1900s mining and workers photos. This is just my observation. And the majority of the photos it is being done with the gingham "blouse", more so, than the duck and denim jackets. Again, this is just what I'm seeing. I'm curious as to why one would do this. Especially the buttoning of just the top button. I'm guessing on the gingham blouses/jackets, you would unbutton to alleviate the chance of popping the stitches and losing the button(s). The gingham being a lighter duty fabric than duck/denim. For any of the fabrics, my guess on unbuttoning the bottom is for comfort while sitting on a horse or in a buggy. Just my thoughts.

Same, "S" hooks. These are 3D-printed. My OCD wants to color code them somehow. So far, my laziness has won out.

From "rough day on the range" to "rough day in the tub".
