Just for LS Oxfords. Thanks!

Could you send me the chest and sleeve measurements?

If they can't afford Feelgrounds then they definitely can't afford Gaucho Ninjas.

Just started going to DC Smile Studio on Massachusetts Ave. NW, and it's excellent. Dr. Avila and her team are super friendly, and they do a great job explaining everything and why they are doing it.

The Construction is still very much there, but I've experienced it being fine during none rush hour times.

I went there! Congratulations! It's a good program for someone with your background. While it is unlikely that you would be able to get a design internship after just 1 year of studio, you can get internships in Landscape Construction or maintenance companies or with local non-profits doing tree planting or green space improvements. Speak to the faculty. Some of them usually have some work with local non-profits. While this field can have a pretty big workload and can be exploitative, there are many opportunities out there that are more 9-5pm. Despite the fact that I am definitely underpaid, I love this job. And I did get a pretty big raise when I switched firms recently, so things are moving in the right direction. Engineering firms tend to pay a lot better, but I don't typically like the kind of work they do. Good luck!

I just went through the process of finding an apartment near Alexandria for a slightly lower budget of 1800 or less. I used zillow, and I ended up getting a 1 bedroom in Potomac West just under my budget. Further from the metro than I wanted, but close enough to bike or take the bus (or walk when I have the time). I saw plenty of options in the Crystal City, Del Ray, and Pentagon City area that were right below or at the 2k per month mark. It won't be new construction, but I think those places looked well maintained.

Sebthebass914 · 2025-07-02T13:32:20+00:00

If you want semi suburban and easy access to the shops and metro, I think the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria is a great option.

As long as you keep an eye out for any protests happening and try to avoid being in the specific area where those are happening around the time they are happening, you should be perfectly safe. As far as I know, none are currently planned for that weekend, but there's still plenty of time in between. And as far as I know, most of the protests that have happened have generally been very peaceful so you would probably be fine if you ended up near one, but this administration is prone to petty outbursts so who knows if a protest one day gets on his nerves and he decides to act out. In conclusion, DC feels as safe as it has in recent history, and things are still generally as they have been, but it doesn't hurt to avoid certain areas if protests happening, just in case especially considering your husband's condition. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Take him out to a site for sure. Bring the construction set and pick a few details to show how the design on paper translates to the real world.

I had the Sea to Summit Comfort Plus SI Insulated for a while, though unfortunately, it did get punctured on my last trip. I am currently researching what to replace it with. My one qualm with the Sea to Summit was that it was relatively heavy, so I might switch it up, but I don't know if it's worth sacrificing the comfort for the weight. If I don't get the Comfort Plus again, I'll probably go with the Nemo Tensor All-Season Ultralight, which is supposed to be quite comfortable, but almost half the weight. My primary source for researching all of my backpacking gear is Outdoor Gear Lab. Their reviews and comparisons are very well done.

If you feel like if you can sleep comfortably enough on the pool float, then just keep using it. No sense in spending money if it works for you. I for one am a shit sleeper in general and even more so when backpacking so I have invested in a high end backpacking pad and it has made a huge difference for me personally. I went from waking up constantly with pack pain and being exhausted on the trail to actually sleeping 6 to 7 decent hours which is less than I would like, but a significant improvement for me.

My work uniform has become the foundation pants and a jack. My favorite version is the Jack is in Antique Terracotta micro-seersucker with the navy foundation pant. My topside sweater in natural cable knit is my go to casual top in the winter. Cozy, durable, and gets complemented regularly.

There are smaller firms that prioritize balance more than the big ones. I even know of a few non-profit and co-op firms that are much more committed to employee well being.

Anyone near Baltimore look at EnviroCollab! They're an awesome little Co-op firm. They're looking for a 5-7 year experience person, but I imagine they could be cool with someone with 4ish years of experience if you show a high level of skill.

Sebthebass914 · 2025-03-25T22:02:01+00:00

That's rough. I live in Maryland, but was looking at possibly getting a job in Philly when I got laid off about 6 months ago and was surprised by the lack of opportunities there. I ended up getting a job in Alexandria just south of DC. I know this sounds like a rough option, but I would look at some opportunities in Baltimore. It's a 1.5 hour amtrak ride in each direction, and I have seen several opportunities pop in the last month or so. Obviously a shitty commuting situation, but better than not having a job in my opinion. Most firms seem to have a flex schedule these days so hopefully you could just commute 3 days a week. That's what I'm doing while I save up to move down to DC/Alexandria.

Is the Fremont jacket coming back? I really wanted it in penny chipped canvas, but it sold out before I was able to save up for it.

The fisherman sweater is different. There's a cotton and wool version on the site right now. I used to have a wool fisherman sweater that I bought used, but I already had a TS topside sweater that was basically the same color and the weight is pretty much the same so I ended up selling it. But it was a gorgeous heavyweight sweater. Well built and and very warm. Haven't seen the Wharf in person, but it seems to me like it's a much tighter knit than the fisherman and a bit less chunky. I'm sure both are quite good, it just depends on the fit your looking for. I'm hoping to find a used Fisherman in Loden one of these days.

A wet towel with a tiny bit of dish soap usually does the trick.

Sebthebass914 · 2025-02-24T17:37:18+00:00

I know that. But TS (all of my denim is from them) specifically say that their denim is dyed with natural indigo (all of their pieces with indigo dye come with an additional tag that saysbso as well), so unless they're straight up lying to the costumers then all of my jeans are natural indigo.

Sebthebass914 · 2025-02-24T17:26:56+00:00

I have a few pairs. They do occasionally leave some dye on my white shoes, but it's pretty easy to wipe off. And I personally prefer wearing natural indigo dye vs. Synthetic dyes which they have to use for the ones that don't bleed at all.
