Yeah man typical for every top pretty much.

Ha! I feel ya man, gonna be very warm in my new jacket, but also potentially very hungry in a few weeks 

Hi all

New here from the Peak District just outside Manchester in the UK. Great to be here 

@Oaktavia thanks man, they look epicccc 

First pickup for ages, love it. Destined to be a battle vest

Amen dude, and hey it’s not about the gross cost it’s about value - and IH represents great value for me

Nice Steven! They’re looking great. I don’t know about you but I’ve found my pair really easy to break in compared to regular XHS, and already got a few ashy spots starting to show

Sorry for the partial cross post, but this thing is badass

@ARNC Lovely story Andrew and no doubt your Grandad would very much approve. I’m sure if anything (and especially being indigo dyed) yours will improve with age.

@Joberwocky Jason mate you know you want both. I thought I wanted the khaki but when I had a think about versatility, it had to be black. I’ll be honest, I didn’t do any measuring, just went with the XL. Hoping it works out a treat. I did refrain from GA pimping in case the sizing isn’t right, but may revisit that.

The 19 lefty shrinks like crazy too dude, so hopefully they turn out spot on. The comparison with XHS fills me with joy. Glad you like them!

EDIT - I AM WRONG 

This thing is the definition of luxury 

Many of us obviously won’t be able to make Mike’s memorial on account of being on a different continent, but if anyone wants to don a bin and drink a few beers in his honour tomorrow I’ll gladly set up a Zoom link

Get well soon Reuben - stay tough AF

The most horrible news, Mike was such a dude. Absolutely lost for words x

Hi @Alex - yes wrong threading for Fuji unfortunately.

Hope you’re all well!

Just an FYI - I had one of these and it did not fit on the Fuji X100V. They may have changed the design (if so let me know and I’ll buy another one), but I think they only fit Leica

@Filthy theyre looking sweet my dude

@Matt late to the party but I quite often tip tattooists. It’s definitely not ‘expected’, and partly I factor in whether I want to get another booking quickly (no evidence it helps but it surely doesn’t hurt). There’s been times with one of the guys I visit the most where I felt that he’s undercharged and I pay what I think they’re worth. Generally I tip around 10% in restaurants unless it’s shit, or doesn’t warrant it for some other reason, but waiting staff are generally paid a living wage and don’t necessarily rely on tips in the same way as they do in the US (though I’m sure they’re very grateful. I often ask before tipping whether staff receive 100% of their tips. Usually a yes but if not I try and slip them cash rather than adding onto a card transaction. I also always tip my barber, not that I go very often these days  generally never tip cabs unless they go out of their way (stopping to get a McDonald’s for example)

Hope that helps.

@Choko yeah man they’re crazy good live

@Oaktavia

@endo I’d take another one for my battle vest if that would be okay? Will grab it from you at the party if so. Obviously if anyone who doesn’t already have one is keen they should have precedence
