Hope to get mine tomorrow (thought they'd be here today). Who got #1? Would that be of more a collector? Yes, we definitely need a fade thread!

You're close to there? My sister lives right near there and my parents just moved from there. Yup! Nice town. I live on the Lunenburg/Fitchburg line.

Almost Failed! But didn't!! While waiting for the Apple Tech i went to Clarks and tried on the Bees Waxed Desert boots and the London's. Nice summer alternatives to my Boots and Chucks. As the alcoholic says - "you keep hanging around the bar, sooner or later you're going to have a drink". That's the Whole Idea!!! I'm hanging around my Wife who was at the Apple Store.

DigDug - nice fades - what kind of boots are you wearing in the pic? I call those my Paradox. They are the Chinese made "For Life " Doc Martens www.drmartens.com/us/p/originals-boots-hardlife-1460-forlife and a pair of "BlueLace Project" (American Made Promotion) You see what I did there? It's a pair of Docs/Paradox I recommend both the Laces and the "For Life" boots (I'm on my 3rd pair)

Welcome kiya We're a finicky bunch here (as you have read). I also believe we're maturing . Many of us a few years back would have and did Balk at the idea of spending so much on a single item. But many of us have come to learn and appreciate the finer details of apparel. We welcome your input not only on the details of apparel but also on the details of retail. I was one who would never have even thought of buying anything from SF but I've changed my view. Most of us are just working stiffs (that sometimes blow off here). Welcome and look forward to your post.

I find myself appreciating what I have more so. I don't think I would have any chance of succeeding (look at me, talking like I've already have 6 months in on this:), if I hadn't already built a decent wordrobe. But at some point there's no need to keep building. I think a year off (4 full seasons) will give me the time to really see what's lacking/needed and allow me to buy these "needed" items with clear head.

I had sent him a couple measurements but I think he just used his pattern (which worked out great for me). I had gotten a Very nice Black Watch heavy wool shirt (highly recommend having him make that one for anyone, it's Wicked Awesome) but it did have smaller cat eye buttons. So I asked for some larger buttons. He gave me a choice of a couple, I picked these. Big Black got the flannel black watch for his lady but when I asked he didn't have anymore to make it for me. When you get a chance or if you wear the black watch wool can you post it up cause that colorway is my other favorite pattern besides anything blue . I'll post this here as I'll be wearing it tonight (most likly the last time this season).

Going to stick this out. I would have bought a couple items this past month... - Some sort of comfortable shoes (maybe the Oak Street Trench Oxfords) - Possibly the Rogue Territory ISC shirt.
$650 saved (and not having to justify it to myself or my wife)

DigDug what buttons are those cause I think I want those on my next Indigogene shirt? Did you go custom sizing or just went with Manny's pattern? I had sent him a couple measurements but I think he just used his pattern (which worked out great for me). I had gotten a Very nice Black Watch heavy wool shirt (highly recommend having him make that one for anyone, it's Wicked Awesome) but it did have smaller cat eye buttons.

I think it's also the BuildUp of how Epic the backed item was going to be. 3 months is a long time just to get a email. It's so anticlimactic.
Wait till the stock store has some Underwear an buy them and wear them a week later.

Also, Not to bad on a Return of Investment. $90 X 3 months = $25

Sorry, but take the $25 and move on. That's a problem with this model, 3,4+ months and no product is a big let down.

Aaaaaaaand, I spoke too soon! Lol! Button broke. Sucks. This highlights one of my initial complaints about the workshirts, that a shirt which costs this much should come with spare buttons Agreed. Gustin did send me extras but IH will not

That being said, I've been Grabbing this a lot lately. Still hasn't warmed up in New England enough to give up the heavy stuff.
