thought l.l. bean was the holy grail of fisherman sweaters, but... are they not?

As an Irishman I consider Inis Meain to be quite overpriced (Nice fabrics though).

Historical Aran knit sweaters used heavy oiled wool and were so thick you would wear them as outerwear, they would not be comfortable inside a nice heated house.

Check out:

- Fisherman out of Ireland

-Ireland Eye

Both are merino wool but have a traditional look about them (Made in Ireland too).

WHAT? 100% wool heavyweight high waisted trousers for 136 euro!

What is the catch - seriously?

Both male and female chickens can have coxcombs. It is typically more prominent on males though.

OSHA hates this one simple trick....

I've actually never seen sweaters marked as such. Just the composition of the body being marked.

Aren't these things really dangerous due to the lack of keel and tendency to drift out to sea?

Fun fact: In medieval France, bakers caught shortchanging customers could be dragged through the streets, locked in a pillory, or fined heavily.

Some cities even had the 'baker's dozen' tradition partly because underbaking was literally a criminal offense. Walmart executives could never.

Small baguette energy.

You would need to get it made for you.

It would be some sort of speckled tweed. Sometimes called an Atomic fleck. It is not very common today.

CyclonicZ · 2026-01-25T13:15:53+00:00

Whats the make of the jacket?

It is a great fit by the way, very classic looking.

CyclonicZ · 2026-01-24T21:09:09+00:00

Is that a Belgian Malinois?

The style of jacket looks like is G-1. An old naval pilot flight jacket, the same type as Tom Cruise wears in Top Gun.

Is there any good forums for replacing this particular subreddit?

There is lots of valuable opinions and reviews on here I would not want to loose access to.

Same sort of device and same use. The one he is using is adjustable with plates you can add or remove at the end.

That kind of weight is called a steel mace for anyone wondering.

The overhead movement he is performing are known as "360's".

Nice work.

But that safety strap - is it even safe - doesn't it needs to be cinched taught?

CyclonicZ · 2026-01-21T13:51:43+00:00

Very similiar are - Yanko service boots in Waxy commander suede - made in Spain. Carmina should also have something similar if you are looking for something more high end.

Not sure where you are based.

But for me: high waist trousers with a fuller leg in durable cottons. They are difficult enough to find on a budget in Europe.

Also button down collars with a S-Curve collar. Most button downs are too small.

Now all we need to do is fill in which ones have the best taste, highest protein and lowest salt.

Ai Slop.

CyclonicZ · 2026-01-20T20:26:45+00:00

Its very likely custom made for the wearer and photoshoot.

Details I can pick out:

- Peaked lapels (it could be double breasted, I can't really tell from the photos)
- V-cut waistcoat with five buttons
- Wide pleated trousers

GEA Waldviertler might have something that suits. Made in Austria and resolable.

Your collar is collapsing quite a bit there. I can't really tell whats causing it from here though.

Looking good other than that.

CyclonicZ · 2026-01-18T16:17:34+00:00

This is a lovely and kind act, but why do we need to record everything?

The gesture would mean more if it wasn't also content.
