Not the most conventional tool, but a shop apron is absolutely a tool. Having some of my most-used hand tools at the ready is super important, and rather than buying something that already exists that I'd likely be unhappy with, I decided to make my own fully custom apron.
This was nearly 80 hours of labor, and a shit ton of leather!
My wife got a candid of me when we were setting up for pizza at the beach on Friday. I make pizza every Friday, and we live a couple of blocks from the water. I bought a stack of pizza boxes on Amazon, so in the summer, we sometimes take our pizza to the beach with a bottle of wine, and enjoy the sunset.
My wife doesn't like lamb, so when she's out for the night and I can cook whatever I feel like eating, it's a great opportunity to have something like this.
Rack of lamb with bordelaise sauce, roasted potatoes, and steamed broccoli.
Okay, so I spotted some Iron Heart jeans at a Super Bowl party yesterday, and said to the guy "it's not often that I see Iron Heart in the wild. Nice jeans. Are the 888s?" He replied, "yeah 21oz 888." I'm kind of surprised that it didn't even register with him that I guessed the cut. I didn't want to sound super nerdy, so I didn't mention that I knew they were 21oz by looking at them, so I just let it be.
I made burgers for dinner last night. I don't usually buy burger buns anymore because I've yet to find any in a store that are to my liking, so I've been making my own for years. Not the best photo of my burger and oven fries, but it was delicious
The other day, I was at the hospital in an elevator on my way to a doctor's appointment, and a guy said "Double denim. You don't see that too often. I dig it." fist bump
Thought you guys would appreciate that.
This is a project I've been meaning to get to for a long time, and I finally got it done today. I have two tees (one black and one navy) that had some bleach spots on them. No idea how they got there, but I've been wearing them for a while and wanted to get them fixed. I got some dye, and decided to do them both black. And while I was at it, I wanted to dye my white shirt red. The bleach spots are gone (hooray!), and the black over navy came out really cool. I'm also very happy with the red. Here are the results.

@Anesthetist Such an interesting design. I remember when that place was built, it seemed so modern.
@Mizmazzle Thanks! I've been wanting a red shirt for a long time, and I'm so stoked to finally have a nice one. The shade was kind of a crap shoot (looking at swatches online isn't exactly the best way to choose a color), but it worked out well. I'm also stoked about the black coming out so nicely. I have about 8 of these tees in different colors, and I wear them every day, and they get washed constantly. The black ones are definitely fading and this seems like a great way to revitalize them. And the OD Navy should be interesting to watch over time. It has such an interesting look to it already.

Looks awesome! That thing was barely fitting on my pinky
@Mizmazzle Sure is! You should see the hole he wore in his jeans before they were repaired. He started putting tape on his jeans to protect them, and I offered to make him something custom with leather. This was the result.
If anyone is interested in knowing how it fits onto the belt, I did a test fit here without a tool pouch or anything, to see how it worked.
Look at that! I'm so glad it's what you wanted James. Thank you for trusting me with your precious XHS @Jcaz6996
How's it doing so far? Is it comfortable? Is it doing its job?
This is epic! What an awesome way to gather with the people you love.
@Mizmazzle It fits like a true size 8, and it's formidable.
