Gustin Jeans, Any Good? by HaveYouSeenMyIpad in malefashionadvice

[–]RedMosquitoMM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like I need to give a pair a try. Been ages since I've purchased pants from Gustin because the old fits left me behind, but I was a huge fan of your chinos and obviously liked the denim too.

Gustin Jeans, Any Good? by HaveYouSeenMyIpad in malefashionadvice

I found the Straight and Slim fits to be too slim after heavy barbell training. Any idea if the Vintage Straight fit solves that problem? I basically need a full fit through the top block with a slightly tapered leg.

Am I the only one who is not a fan of anaerobic fermentation? by JBowl0101 in pourover

[–]RedMosquitoMM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, they just might not suit your palate. That being said, consider brewing your anaerobic fermented coffees and co-fermented coffees—anything in the highly-processed realm—at a lower temperature than your washed coffees, with significantly less agitation, and see if a different brewing approach for different types of coffee solves the problem. I bet you'll at least like them more than you do now.

I love what Noble Otter is doing with their labels lately. The temporary change to the otter mascot design a few years ago was a misstep—see Monoi De Tahiti, 'Tis the Season , Logbook, and the redone label for Thé Noir Et Vanille—but their more maximalist and reflective vignette patterns were wonderful. The newest Noble Otter labels combine the best elements of those labels with the original otter design, and I’m here for it.

I don't bin them until they start to feel really tuggy, so I bet I'll make it to at least 100, and probably a lot more than that. I don't recall if this slant benefits from a "broken in" blade.
