Yeah, where is that idiot. I've been super busy with family stuff. I also got too fat to wear my TCB's. That will hopefully change soon.

Same outfit, one year later.

Somehow the jacket/kimono looks older/more worn on the year old pic with the new jeans than on the left :D

The time had arrived for another repair. Should have jumped on this one sooner but it seems to have worked out OK.

I tried to follow the direction of the weave but it's hard to control the back-stitch function. I now understand why there are specific machines for this task.

I also reenforced the earlier repair.

I was heartbroken the day I cooked my '50s contest patch (a month after the contest ended). Then I accidentally did the same with my Devi's patch. With the S40s, I have remained vigilant about treating the patch with Obenauf's before every wash. It's worked like a charm. I also recently used the Dr. Marten's tin on my Left Field patch. It also worked very well. But, if patch cooked evo is your thing, looking good! Haha.

The thigh area on my right leg is starting to get thin. Time to start thinking about how I want to patch these. So many options.

@srudy my move is usually to wash more the older they get.
