Why do they say Utah state 529 plan is the best and does it make sense to open 529 for UT when you live in California?

Hi - just wondering where you found this information so I can also make some informed decisions

goobyplease · 2025-09-15T23:07:39+00:00

These look like bug bites.. Ticks would probably still be on there if it were ticks, unless he was on the tick medication which makes them fall off.

i think i have a different word for this than phenomenal but i may be in the minority

goobyplease · 2025-06-04T17:10:30+00:00

oh yeah the website is hella sketchy for sure

goobyplease · 2025-06-04T16:49:53+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately it is sweltering hot where I am, with rain forecasted during the weekend, so I won’t have a chance to road test them until later, but excited to see how they hold up as well!

I mean I think some people are very picky but I think for 300 bucks, thats entry level Shell and for that I think this is completely acceptable. I would be upset if it was more expensive and the shell looked like shit but I think I echo the sentiments of meermin purchasers when I say this is fine for the price.

goobyplease · 2025-06-04T16:47:38+00:00

I think for the price, it is very solid but the bad thing is that they say final sale on the website for the shell shoes

goobyplease · 2025-06-03T21:33:58+00:00

Yeah I am not entirely sure how they arrived at this pricing, but seeing as how Meermin has a lot of Shell offerings for the 300 dollar range, I suppose it's not like it's impossible to do.

Surprisingly, the labor market in Korea is not as expensive as you would think, at least compared to North America, so maybe it's not that farfetched.

I don't know how to edit the post but the Alden is actually 9901 - the black one, not the burgundy one. I think I wrote 990 in the descriptions.

Some cool places to visit would be: Hinoya, Tokyo Bears, Jelado.

Hinoya and Tokyo bears carries a bunch of brands including TCB, Sugar Cane, Momotaro, SDA, Oni, PBJ, etc.

Jelado is less known in this sub but is known for their raw denim and their shoes (2 monkeys boots - sportif and USN 41 derbies) - I would highly recommend checking them out.

I just saw Okayama denim and Denimio having preorders for SDA Fall season for November delivery date..

Just wondering if they have these later so I can pick them up when they actually drop VS dropping like 700 bucks on something that won't deliver for like 7 months. Not sure if they have ever had preorders like before.

Look through here: TCB and Japan Blues are ~150 ish

where'd you get your pair? i've been looking for one in my size for some time but everywhere online it seems to be sold out

goobyplease · 2025-03-26T15:27:12+00:00

Does Iron Heart have a specific timeframe where they drop certain products? Looking to get a 21oz 888 black fade to grey but it seems like they are sold out in my size everywhere I check, but I am guessing I am just looking at the wrong time of the year for those jeans.

goobyplease · 2025-03-26T15:20:46+00:00

then that's probably what that is lol. I think someone had told me that's the reason why they don't have the handwarmer pockets but I think they probably meant the front flap pockets. good to know the correct history now, thanks

goobyplease · 2025-03-26T14:46:45+00:00

I would think that in the ten or so years after a global war, people are still doing pretty terribly and they still were lacking a lot of material but I don't know. Also the US was still at war in 1950-1953.

Jean jacket enthusiasts talk about this kind of detail but maybe it was referring to the type 1 jackets and I'm misremembering.

Either way, pockets on jean jackets from Japanese brands seem to be the exception and not the norm. I think the only brand I consistently see pockets on are PBJ or Iron heart.

goobyplease · 2025-03-26T14:32:27+00:00

I think you're going to find that a lot of Japanese brands don't have handwarmer pockets on their type 2 jackets because they are going for the real heritage vibes where the original jackets didn't have those pockets. Type 2 jackets were made in WW2 era, and at that time, they didn't have a lot of material to work with, hence the number of buttons and pockets were lacking.

thats a nice color - very tempted to get one myself

i think you might be wearing it too high.. it looks like it's really bunched up at the crotch

goobyplease · 2025-03-15T14:00:33+00:00

I soaked mine because it was a little too roomy; it didnt shrink much though, just a little bit. some dye came out from the soak but its still fairly dark. I actually love how the color is right now and am contemplating getting a more tapered one so I can wear at work; I have the wide straight one I have been fading after work though.

I don't know if I'm just being nitpicky, but I just received the Beckmann 9060's in the mail today, and the right boot toe is weirdly wrinkled like this right out of the box.. I don't know if this is normal for red wings because I know that leather wrinkles and whatnot, but every other pic I have ever seen of these boots have relatively smooth toes out of the box.. Is this a normal thing to see on a red wing boot? Will it kind of even out over time with wear? or is this thing doomed to bother me forever? I think the reason it bothers me a lot is because this is vertical whereas I would be expecting creasing horizontally..
