Why must they do 38" inseam on the damned Bloomies for us fatties? 36" would be ideal for me. Further, their blather about them sewing up small scares me. You've been doing this for how long and still can't get it right?! This has been my issue with biting the bullet on Bloomies/Loomies. Still haven't and have been eyeing another pair of black denim. Between this and RgT black, the latter being a known experience, but the Bloomies are intriguing. I just hate the initial guess that makes this process annoying. Yeah, and looking further at the fits, I'd still have to taper a pair of Slims and I know the back rise will be a little too low. So skip. But I still love the idea.

I may have to buy the ixi workshirt. My Wabisabi is one of my best fitting shirts now.

I've had a few Rolex and don't think I'd do another, but the bronze Tudor is pretty great. I assume you know about WatchUSeek and TimeZone? Lots of non shady deals on both for Sinns and Tudors. Just know that you might have a $300-$700 service in your near future to get things fully "good as new."

Heavily considering a Sinn 104 i on leather. Any good avenues to buy one, that you're aware of bentin ? Always down to consider other options (Sinn or otherwise), but felt this hit a pretty sweet spot on the qulaity vs price scale. I bought my Sinn 856 direct when I worked in Frankfurt. But I'm pretty sure the only US vendor is Watch Buys, so that's an easy decision. I did recently get the annual email about upcoming price hikes, so you might want to buy soon.

I normally dislike their rear yoke, but their Thomas Hooper collab is f'ing awesome this year. And ironically I can't find a pic of the yoke.

Yeah, I like metal/white faces. Used to own one of these. But that Hammy just looks better in black.

Upon further review, black. Black. Black.

Buying a new daily beater Going with a Hamilton King Khaki. Any thoughts on face color? White or Black? Will be worn during the day casually. Only watch? Black. Twenty second watch? White.

Same. Triple digits here for the next three days. Potentially moving to Chicago which would fix this problem.

Somehow I'd forgotten about my absolute favorite T's. The Almond striped ones, made in Peru. Not ringspun, but a heavier fabric than most.

L, same as Ciano and Tebow (3Sixteen). The MiUSA J Crew are made in LA, and not ringspun, but they are a little slimmer cut than their regular slubs. I'm sort of on the cusp of needing a Tall from them. The normal is fine until my wife gets a hold of them and hot dries them for an hour. Thanks. I'm only finding them in pocket T's, is that all they make? Yeah, gooberish, square pockets. The striped versions are pocket free, but their website is devious and kicks you back non MiUSA pretty easily.

US Made J Crew Slubs are still my favorite for slubby, but Ciano's solid colors are pretty great and ringspun. I definitely prefer no seams, always for undershirts and generally for t's. What size do you get in the J Crew's? L, same as Ciano and Tebow (3Sixteen). The MiUSA J Crew are made in LA, and not ringspun, but they are a little slimmer cut than their regular slubs.

Yep, I'm equally impaired about posting that too.
Ciano came by my house, picked up my Anniversary jeans and repaired them and sent them back. Hard to beat that for customer service.

How's their sleeve length? Not that I'm really worried about it since it's been 109 here recently.

Calves too big? DR does sell the 777-UHR though. Yeah, but I fear the unpredictability of loomstate This is where jeans get fun. Life's too short for sanforization.

Overdyes or normal black jeans?

I kinda liked those olive and charcoal jacquards they have up for pre-order. Surely J Crew has something similar, made at the same Chinese plant for $27 after the 30% off of 30% sale? I have no idea how they justify $138 for a Chinese shirt.

Fit looks good. I never seem to get that much shrink in the hem, usually a quarter of an inch or so. I'd like a lot of my jeans more if I could pull another half an inch out of the hem and knee.

Man, even at my own expense, I'm hoping the trade war with China makes things extremely unpleasant for TS.

I showed the image to Tom san whilst I was in Kojima yesterday. She was appalled and is going to beat up on the workshop we use. Despite the jokers suggesting we use the QC folks from Gustin, I checked that too - she does not know who Gustin is..... Don't worry, Gustin doesn't know what QC is either. Just a cheap joke that this one piece seemed to have slipped through you guys' normally tight QC. I'd be hard pressed to pick a brand that more consistently turns out quality pieces than IH. Thanks for being about 15% of our sad site's traffic. It's impressive to see your continued presence here and your concern for your product. Also have to give you credit for a well run site and continuing to push new design, fits and materials. Maybe I'll move to the UK just so the VAT thing won't bother me.

Pockets are also not the same distance from the placket. Just looks like one that went through Gustin QC, most of what I've seen of theirs is much better done.
