129 + 735 was inevitable!

Back on the (this time with Merz and 634-WT). This jacket certainly gets a lot of love even in the real world - a friend accused me of looking stylish earlier

debut!

So much warmth coming off this thread I’ve had to turn my heating off

Old favourites for the New Year - 269 and 720 - and not a covetable jacket in sight

Best wishes for 2025!

First official wear for the 129

Party pick-up 307, 666S-21

Not looking as rough as I thought I would today (but I’m bracing myself for the pile-on I’ve set myself up for)

292, 634D

A bit chilly this morning so time to get the big jumper out (plus N1 and 634S-A)

Picking up the “Endo made me do it” conversation (Boulevardier strand), the red bitter component can make a surprisingly big difference. I’ve been playing with Campari and Rinomato Bitter Scuro (keeping Cocci Storico Vermouth di Torino and Michter’s US*1 Sour Mash constant). The Rinomato gives a much softer and rounder effect but lacks the distinctive Campari edge. This is the version with 50:50 Rinomato and Campari.

@endo I’m sure it won’t be long!

For @endo – spring is coming!

IHM-39, IHSH-329, 3sixteen work pants

Decided my 2944s deserved some love after walking through flooded fields last week. Not a perfect job but definitely an improvement!

Yesterday:

Today:

@endo and @Daniel-San thanks for doing this - I’ll need to check dates at work but I’m interested.

@Mizmazzle if you’re spending any time in/near London I’m up for doing something when you’re over.

@endo I think the gin contributes more than you think, but I generally agree. The worst negronis I’ve had were down to bad vermouth. If you’re already 3-4 deep I guess each one tastes better than the last however you make it

@Denimhead-0 a nice problem to have, but you can’t go wrong with purple!

@Tago-Mago the colours look so different in natural light!

@Bailey at first I didn’t see @Graham in the second pic and wondered if he’d been accidentally packed up and sent to a retailer! Glad he’s still safe in Gosport.
