Stronghold World Tour

[jimmyc]

Had a dentist appointment yesterday, here is a pic before I left.

Here are my teeth they pulled out...

Here is the bridge they put in...

my gums are all bruised and full of stitches.

This should not slow me down but it does feel weird

[Happy Hooligan]

ouch! How did you loose your teeth?

[jimmyc]

On my way to Chicago but I shot some video of the pocket bags being printed this morning. I'll post more pics when I get in tomorrow.

"is there any way to buy stronghold without being in la? i didnt see anything like a shop on their website, is it like ooe and just email?"

If you are near Brooklyn, I saw a pair in Smith & Butler last week (not certain the model)/

FYI they also have Telleson and LVC.

from an email from Ryan @ stronghold couple weeks back:

"In NY you can find our Jeans at Barneys (4th Floor) and at Saturdays on Crosby in SoHo."

[raWorkshop]

Cool digs on the printing, do they need any patching/preemptive repairs? Got a Singer waiting if so.

[jimmyc]

Finally some updates!

Went out last night to AMC River East to see Hot Tube Time Machine.

Bus Stop...

Didn't go see this one but my girlfriend saw a resemblance..

on the bus headed downtown (check out the dude in front of me in his Man Fur. The vegetarian in me wanted to throw up all over him).

retrieving tickets for the TIME MACHINE!!

at Shaw's after the movie dropping mad Lincons and Hamiltons..

Cab ride home. Movie candy left overs in hand

[jimmyc]

I have a bunch of pics to get up (will do that this weekend). In the meantime I need to know who gets these next as my month as come to a close.

[photo]

I am pretty sure that it is myself, can anyone else confirm this?

[jimmyc]

unless someone comes along and says no I say PM your address (and shirt size) and I'll get these off to you early next week.

[zissou]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be raWorkshop and then photo. But, honestly, if photo is paying attention to this thread and wants to go next, I say go for it.

[Medine]

yea, zissou is right, if we dont hear from raworkshop just send em' to photo

[landstander]

if anyone drops out id be glad to wear these jawnz for a month..let me know..im in philly but ill be in Japan from May 4th to the 15th.

updates are looking great jimmy..nicely done.

[glimmertwins]

Damn JimmyC - nice photos of your leg (of the tour)....I think I would go catatonic if I saw someone in Nacogdoches rocking a pair of Stronghold Hickory stripes. FWIW, if your ever in Austin they do sell Strongholds at Luthers over on South Congress.

[jimmyc]

pants shipped to raWorkshop today.

They shall be missed.

also, Last call for t-shirt sizes.

If you already have or will wear these in the future email me your size and shipping address.

Thanks to everyone!!!!

[zissou]

Great leg, jimmyc, and thanks a lot for making up the tees!

I sent you my info a while back, so let me know if you did not receive it.

[mpcec]

Yeah nice updates Jimmy. Let me know if you need me to resend my info.

e: Also If we do have another opening I think landstander would be a great addition.

[xchen]

I too sent mine to your PM inbox. If you'd rather me send it somewhere else, let me know!

[jimmyc]

I got both you guys down

[raWorkshop]

The Stronghold World Tour continues, on tone cuffs and suspenders in full effect. Thanks for the pass along Jimmy!

We'll be out on Long Island, NY for this leg of the tour. There's not much to do out here but I'm an AmeriCorps with Habitat for Humanity so we'll get some houses built before we're done.

[mpcec]

Awesome, can't wait to see some more updates.

[raWorkshop]

Whiz bang folks! Sorry about the lack of updates. The tour continues.

I was worried as hell that these things wouldn’t fit me but the stretch is just enough that they’re great. A banging slim straight, I normally cuff but the tone on tone cuffs seemed the way to go. The suspenders are stupid fun too.

So here we are on Long Island, New York, working with Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk for the year. I haven’t gotten out to the work site in the stripes because I work in family services. So here’s the side of Habitat you might not have seen if you’ve done a spring break blitz build or what not. First order of business was delivering homeowner applications to be reviewed by the bank.

Long Island is a horrible place to be a cyclist, this blind curve out of the office regularly attracts 50 MPH traffic.

And off they go.

Proper work attire? Word.

I led a resume and interview skills class for the neighborhood where we do most of our building (North Bellport/East Patchogue). It’s pretty severely under-served in terms of jobs, opportunity and access. Spent that day getting flyers out to the community.

But right on the other side of the tracks (literally) from the blighted areas we build in, you’ve got these ultra cushy villages. Tough to see the disparity so close up.

Back in the hood, at the Bellport Hagerman East Patchogue Alliance, where we taught the class. Good people, but again, terribly under-resourced compared to the lily white areas. The class went well, if under attended.

Homeowner education class with the strips and straps. All of our homeowners have to go through Financial Fitness, Home Maintenance, and Home Ownership workshops.

[raWorkshop]

After the class I hit up the thrift near me. Lots of good stuff, too pricey though.

Osh’Kosh, didn’t but it but might if it’s still there next time.

Shooting a video with my friend Julio for his Apple application.

My roommate in a homely little production of The Vagina Monologues

Last Thursday I went on a walking date with a beautiful young lady stopping in from Denver. We walked from 79th St. down to SoHo, it was a beautiful day.

Highline park, which is terrific.





She’s an architect so she was forgiving of my need to geek out when we cruised by Self Edge. The staff were great as always, despite the fact that I can’t buy anything on an AmeriCorps budget.

Not pictured was me picking up my motorcycle in the back lawn today. The rain softened up the mud and it ate shit. But

The

Tour

Continues.

[zissou]

Great update, raWorkshop! Many of my programs don't happen without the help of my annual Americorps volunteer I used to live out in Mattituck and Cutchogue- not too far.

I'm surprised to see the SENY banner looking so good after being out there all winter...

[Medine]

Good Update!

keep it up, im out of rep, ill get you when i can

[raWorkshop]

Whacko, here we are again!

Taking care of business. GS500E to the shop like 3 weeks ago, still not back

Watched Stony Brook University play University of Vermont in lacrosse. Stony Brook won big time, which really surprised me.

Went into Brooklyn for the Sunday Brooklyn Flea. Plenty of good stuff to be had here. The location is just beautiful, does anybody know the history? One Hanson.

Then I took the G back to the 1930s. Just kidding, but the New York Transit Museum was kinda neat.

Pickups from the Flea. An Indian indigo dyed napkin/bandana and a book plate from 1890’s about sewing machines.

Detail on the book plate. You can see the original style single thread chain-stitch thread, and how obviously vulnerable it would be to a thread break.

[raWorkshop]

Now we head out to the worksite to raise the walls on our newest Habitat for Humanity homeowners house.

This house is a Women Build project so no boys allowed on the worksite. Thankfully me and my dude had other plans like swinging on this righteous ass vine in the back yard.

I want this vine on call 24/7 for emergency prince of persia tactics.

Workwear.

But that’s it from me. These pants are sweet, gonna miss them. Who is up next?

[ThisSunday]

Great updates. The Brooklyn Flea was in the Williamsburg Savings Bank. They have a great selection of food down in the vault
