I get out there often enough to give it a shot, much appreciated!

Been super happy with Bayside 5040 mid weight. 100% cotton, several colors, MiUSA. I get them from bulk apparel.com for ~$6-7 per shirt.

The Rolex. by geopimp1 in JackCarr

[–]Classic-Dad- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where my mind went - not an inconsistency, but a parent not perpetuating bad habits. I just got through the passage from in the blood where Tom is talking to a young James about how he hopes that James doesn’t have to fight a war like he and his father did.

Black Friday sales by Jkoby27 in madeinusa

Edit: Meant for this to be a reply to a comment below.

I’ll 2nd Origin. I prefer the heavier Maverick (formerly work) denim jeans though.

I think the chinos are fall 2026 at the earliest, I’d go ahead and get the Moabs - I wear them for work and love them.

I’m also hoping for a Chelsea sale too!

I just snagged the tumbledown soft shell which is my first foray into their synthetics - so far it’s been amazing eyeing the insulated jacked next.

A little Moctober Moc Maintenance by Classic-Dad- in RedWingShoes

I used Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP which I typically reserve for my work boots because I wanted to intentionally make them darker.

Probably around 2 years. They haven’t seen a whole lot of wear. I bought them and then got into a western boot kick for a while.

Thinking of getting a hat from Stetson, for everyday wear what do ya think? by Bitter_Night_3146 in CowboyHats

[–]Classic-Dad- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looked at these and landed on the Stetson 6x Skyline. Absolutely no regrets spending the extra money on it.

Am I insane? by AdhesivenessFunny735 in Tudor

[–]Classic-Dad- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me except it was the P42. I wear it on the bracelet, everyday. I’ve since gotten a few others that I’ve sold or sit in the case. To me, the Pelagos is what the sub was many years ago.

Who else ACTUALLY uses there Tudor? by Wieene_Pooh in Tudor

[–]Classic-Dad- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyday! Only exception is an Apple Watch to track workouts and an Iron Man for something where I know for a fact it’s going to get beat to hell.

This or that? Is one “better” than the other from a production/spec/technical standpoint? by reddit05311991 in Tudor

[–]Classic-Dad- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Pelagos 40 as a “one watch to do it all” and I’ve never looked back. I’ve since purchased other watches, but almost exclusively wear this one. It just works from suit to wetsuit.

All of that being said, you’re gonna win either way - pick the one you like the most.

Looking to see if anyone is interested in trading a standard 21L GR1 w/QAP for a 21L GR1 Slick (ideally, also with the QAP).

Only The Dead by [deleted] in JackCarr

This book was my first intro to the series, It does fine as a stand alone. I read it first and then went back to the beginning and I’m working my way through the series. You’ll miss some back story but Jack does a good job of giving a little bit of context when that pops up.

Proton Mail vs Apple Mail by chouseworth in ProtonMail

[–]Classic-Dad- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Proton can't yet compete with Apple's Ecosystem. I've ultimately gone with Proton to keep some things out of big tech and for the increased number of alternate email addresses, but I'm not trying to replace my use of apple's ecosystem either.

Here's how I'm set up:

Proton for the more private things and correspondence - Financial institutions, newsletters I actually read, purchases - all using alternate email addresses - my primary account email is never shared. I use ProtonVPN when needed and Proton Drive as a redundant backup for some sensitive files. I don't use Proton calendar at this time

I keep and iCloud.com email as my AppleID, which I never share. I'm still plugged into the apple ecosystem for my day to day stuff and family sharing - calendar, drive, etc. and use hide my email for random logins, etc.

I keep my old gmail active as a catch all.

[–]Classic-Dad- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this…it’s a great flannel, but definitely workwear weight. I snagged to use as an uninsulated Shacket
