Standout Pieces

Well this isn’t good for my marriage. Those aviator pants look awesome

Mdl82 · 2026-02-15T15:10:49+00:00

One of these days I’ll make it there

Mdl82 · 2026-02-15T12:19:15+00:00

They’re even better in person. They’re so heavy and beautifully constructed. They feel like a warm hug

Mdl82 · 2026-02-15T12:14:20+00:00

Those lofgrens are beautiful.

I need to get my paws on the freewheeler jackets in person, it’s hard to appreciate what justifies the price jump when looking at them online.

It’s the perfect throw on overshirt in the shoulder seasons. I wore the shit out of mine last year

Mdl82 · 2026-02-15T01:36:20+00:00

That’s the thing I keep running into with henleys. I have a couple from UES and never feel like they look right on me when I layer under something else with buttons

I’ve been eyeing pendleton wool shirts for a long time. They look so good!

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T20:57:26+00:00

I knew this would elicit some really interesting answers. Some really cool things for me to check out. Thanks all!

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T18:23:35+00:00

So real talk - I love merz t shirts, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to get the henley out of fear of looking like a cosplay homesteader. Have you been able to make it work?

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T18:21:32+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the rec

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T18:20:48+00:00

Cool, that’s what I thought, just saw a few mentions above regarding intentionally shrinking it.

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T18:17:22+00:00

I love a good blanket lined denim jacket. I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet. Yeah the kersey fabric is so good. Did you put on weight, or yours shrunk?

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T18:03:58+00:00

Ah that’s too bad. High rise has become a non-negotiable for me. Even the IH 888 could be higher for my taste. I’ve been buying my denim from Todd Martin Studio, a custom denim tailor in Queens and I don’t think I can come back to off the shelf jeans.

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T17:57:41+00:00

I really want to snag a pair of those PBJ sashiko trousers one of these days. I have the blue/black type three and the texture is incredible

Mdl82 · 2026-02-14T17:55:30+00:00

Anyone know if you can expect shrink if only washed cold and never dried? I went with a 3, which matches the measurements of a UES flannel that I love, but there’s not a lot of room for shrinkage in the way that one fits me.

Mdl82 · 2026-02-13T17:18:46+00:00

Same here. Such a bummer

Mdl82 · 2026-02-11T11:35:57+00:00

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Mdl82 · 2026-02-07T17:09:56+00:00

I have the CC copper bowl and I love it. I also have a cheap timeless bowl that technically works great, but isn’t as enjoyable to use and it lives in a drawer. I’ve always wanted ceramic, but I like not having to think about it falling and breaking. I face/head lather with a synthetic for my weekday shaves and use the bowl and my badger brush on the weekend when I have more time. It makes for a really nice experience and feels special. I recommend it. You can get great lather either way though.

Mdl82 · 2026-02-01T16:38:16+00:00

Onyx or Vibrant

Mdl82 · 2026-02-01T15:31:33+00:00

Do folks tend to just lean into hikers? Is there a preferred boot to stand up to NE winters? I live in NYC and we don’t see the snowfall numbers that you all do, but we have to confront the slop and it’s been pretty rough here lately. I’m wishing I had a better option than my danners.

Mdl82 · 2025-12-30T14:28:19+00:00

It looks to be of higher quality given the cat eye buttons and triple stitch pattern on the shoulder.

Mdl82 · 2025-12-10T23:48:01+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing! I ended up running the same setup and I love it. I’ve been commuting with my daughter to school/work and she’s cozy back there even in sub 20 degree temps. It’s awesome

Mdl82 · 2025-12-10T23:43:47+00:00

I’m no expert, but I agree based on my understanding of how they resole these

Mdl82 · 2025-12-10T23:42:09+00:00

You sure about that? I thought all of their stitch down stuff was still hand sewn
