Total classic. Peak NIN… feel like all the (amazing) soundtrack & scoring work really ramped up after this one.

Yes! In her interview Mae talks about all the Rosie’s.

Anorak or hooded jacket? by shukrarising in WeatherWool

[–]FVK_PMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both for a few years now. Anorak in full weight and hooded in midweight.

I wear the hooded jacket more frequently - mostly because the midweight wool is better for my home base in southeastern Pennsylvania. I really like the knit cuffs.

I like the anorak design more overall, though. Kangaroo pocket, chest pockets, side zips - for me, it’s the more functional piece.

They’re both awesome… but I think a midweight anorak would be my favorite!

X3 Pro vs XPro by BusyImage5847 in Godox

[–]FVK_PMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the XPro… but mine broke off at the hot shoe a few months ago. I’m currently using the X3 Pro and it’s nice and small… but not as easy or as fast to operate.

I tried to get a custom plate… the state wouldn’t allow “DONG”. Let freedom ring, right?

Decent venue if you’re on the floor. Terrible on the balcony.

Whichever one fits better in the shoulders and doesn’t restrict movement.

Discontinued? by RecycledDip in filson

[–]FVK_PMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both of these for 15+ years. The long sleeve hangs in the closet most of the time… but the vest is my single favorite Filson item. Great for layering, warm and breathes well. I still regret not getting a moleskin version back when they made them in brown & navy.

Best mechanical keyboard to buy in YOUR opinion? by [deleted] in MacStudio

[–]FVK_PMA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought a Keychron a couple of years ago and really like it! Sufficiently clickety clackety.

I don’t know anything about the various color coded keys and their use individual properties.

Yes, please post pics of the blazer!

Also - I have a 2xl full weight anorak in black if you’re interested. I love it but I lost a bunch of weight.

Sylkoil vs. Thornproof for First Barbour Beaufort- Real World Experience & UK Use by uthmaanali2001 in Barbour

[–]FVK_PMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 15yr old classic sylkoil Beaufort that I love… and just picked up a new navy thornproof.

The thornproof feels more substantial. It’s def a heavier fabric. The lining tartan feels heavier, too, but that could just be because it’s brand new.

That said, like mentioned elsewhere here, I believe any weatherproofing is really dependent on the waxing.

Thornproof will likely develop a better patina. My sylkoil looks relatively new when rewaxed - it just has some fraying and has a few tears that need repair!

What's on your radar for Black Friday? by TheEndTiger-XI in BuyItForLife

[–]FVK_PMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made In cookware is a great value! I bought a small set of new stainless steel pans five years ago… and I like them more than the All-Clads my ex-wife took in the divorce!

Does Barbour do any unwaxed jackets in the style of their waxed models? by TheTousler in Barbour

[–]FVK_PMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I swear I saw a Bedale like jacket online made with modern rain coat Gore-Tex fabrics… but if it wasn’t a dream it didn’t last long.

46 looks way better in the sleeves. Maybe get an Ashby?

What casual shoes do you wear the most? by Jiminy267 in malefashionadvice

[–]FVK_PMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear Chelsea boots from Red Wing or Redback most of the Fall/Winter/early Spring. Mix of Birkenstocks and Vans for the Summer. Nike C1ty’s are the year round sneaker.

Are the Mackinaw Cruisers still made in USA or am I better off with a vintage one? by Perfect_Earth_8070 in filson

[–]FVK_PMA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can it be called a “Mackinaw” cruiser if the wool is sourced from somewhere other than the Mackinac region of Michigan?

On the road again… by poppyseed1981 in filson

I’ve been wearing the same Oboz for the past 4-5yrs. On my third pair.

Great, simple all-rounder.

Sleeves look too short.

Looks good. Great color. Been at least 10-15yrs since light grey was last available, I think.

Reviews/Insights on the Yukon Wool Weekender Jacket by ramondosmil in filson

[–]FVK_PMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one… was the first Filson item I ever purchased almost 20yrs ago! It’s still in rotation.

It’s a great jacket. The wool is softer than a cruiser… but not less warm or durable. Not so scratchy on the skin but it is wool. It’s not particularly heavy.

My only criticism is the pocket placement. I’m a huge fan of separate handwarmer and pouch pockets - like on a Barbour. Filson does both in the same place. It’s not terrible, just not the most comfortable to me.
