@Double 0 Soul Thanks, yep I’ve had the new frames for around a month now and worn them most days

I got very lucky on the fit (well, to my credit, I measured a few other frames pretty thoroughly before pulling the trigger…); they sit just where I like, and I haven’t yet experienced any discomfort, although I rarely have them on for more than a couple hours at a time

I don’t notice any difference in weight between these and my Tender Co. shades, which are the only on-face point of reference that I can offer for acetate. The Tender Co. frames are larger, so maybe that indicates that the horn is a bit denser than the acetate, but it’s hard to say. Of course, they do feel significantly heavier than the wire frames that I’m used to—I knew that I wouldn’t mind the extra weight, though, since the aforementioned shades have never bothered me. As it happens, my dad has a pair of acetate frames that are a very similar design and similar size to these: next time I’m over at my folks’ place I’ll measure the two side-by-side to get a direct comparison and will post to the glasses thread

Never heard of Hoggs of Fife before. Looks like they are based a couple of hours down the road from me 🤔

@PrettyBoyTony I can’t speak to the company as a whole, but the boots are great. Pretty sure they’re made by Cheaney? They required very little break-in, and the veldtschoen construction keeps water out at well as anything.

@davichan That's probably the most faded model of that jacket I've seen. Looks fantastic!

Thanks, i got it right around 2010 at SENY. You can click the link and see the TikTok of the jacket from a few years ago they made while i was still living in the LES. Wore it allot, and then let it sleep for a few years while i was busy playing with other jackets, and then brought it back out and had it repaired pocket bags, and been getting plenty of great wear with it out here in Japan. it took so long for the damn jacket to get soft. I'm really happy with how its become so steal and slate grey and blues in it, and im curious to see how it goes another 10-15 years if the pockets keep up.

I got mine around 2017 and wore it a ton for 5ish years. It's nowhere close to the evolution on your jacket - I found it to be a stubborn fader, so it's awesome to see heavily worn examples of it. I've gained weight so unfortunately it doesn't get a ton of wear anymore - although you're inspiring me to pull it out of my closet!

Working in the Shard, praying I won’t have to go outside. It’s miserable and I have a nice-ish (?)view…
