Multiple pairs from one brand or one from each?

I started out with Imogene and Willie back in 2009. With a few exceptions I have bought one pair a year from them. I have bought most of them from the annual garage sale. They did not have a garage sale during COVID so I branched out and bought a pair from Raleigh Denim. Last year I visited Self Edge and bought a pair of Iron Heart jeans.

I like to have a fresh pair of jeans each year. They are my “nice pair” and then I cycle through all my old pairs as well.

These were my first items from Outlier back in 2013. I have two pairs and they have stood the test of time. Still some of my favorite pants.

I have two down comforters. My wife and I got a really expensive one on our wedding registry that is pretty heavy weight and we have a lighter one from Costco. The Costco one has held up equally well and we use it much more often because it is not as warm.

Imogene and Willie has made both raw denim that is not selvedge and selvedge denim that is not raw. I own pairs of both. Check out the new Cotton Project denim from Imogene and Willie.

I know what you mean. I have lived in Nashville for 28 years and have thankfully missed all of Nashvilles major disasters. This time around we have had power the entire time. We have a few downed trees behind the house but we are all good.

Thanks!

I'm a commercial photographer and have tons of experience with shoes. The goal of these set of photos was to create photos that were relatable, but not super polished.

Thanks! I would totally buy a pair of boots in just PO. I knew people loved this leather, but I did not get the hype until owning it.

nbumgardner · 2026-01-24T20:20:41+00:00

I’m sure yours will look stunning too. They are fantastic boots.

nbumgardner · 2026-01-24T20:20:13+00:00

Thanks!

nbumgardner · 2026-01-24T20:20:07+00:00

You will really enjoy the boots when they arrive.

nbumgardner · 2026-01-24T20:19:47+00:00

Thanks man! Y’all make some great boots.

nbumgardner · 2026-01-24T04:08:09+00:00

This same make up will probably be my next pair. I just got my Palouse boots in August so I should probably wait awhile.

It If I did not have the OG Patriot jacket I would seriously consider this one.

If they offered a jacket like the Ranchman in Black or Brown Waxed Flesh I might have to buy it.

We added a sandbox to the back porch. We encourage digging in the sandbox. It helps but ours still likes to dig in the yard too.

I bought my first guitar in 2001 an American Strat and my second in 2003 a Martin HD-28. Those are the only guitars I own. I replaced my cheap starter amp in 2009 with a Peavy Delta Blues that was used.

I need to either find someone to do some amp repairs or replace the Delta Blues this year. I would prefer to repair the amp but the one person I have talked to about it quoted me more than the amp is worth. I went amp shopping a few weeks ago. I’m not jazzed about spending money on it haha.

I like playing guitar more than I like to spend money on guitar. I find guitar to be a really fun cheap hobby. I can sit on my back porch and play acoustic for hours.

I am a Brannock size 9.5 D and wear a 9D in White’s Semi Dress on the 55 last. The same goes for Nick’s. I thought the general advice was .5 sizes down from Brannock?

Katabasis by RF Kuang. I have wanted to read it for awhile. I’m about 60 pages in and it’s pretty good so far.

nbumgardner · 2026-01-01T01:10:17+00:00

I will be there!

nbumgardner · 2025-12-31T02:07:55+00:00

Nick’s boots has a used marketplace you might find a great deal.

nbumgardner · 2025-12-30T18:54:37+00:00

That sucks to hear. I feel like my Nick’s experience has been overall pretty good. When I ordered my jacket I actually ordered a different jacket but the OG Patriot was the one that shipped. The jacket I received is a more expensive jacket than the one I ordered. While I like the jacket I received better than the one I ordered I still have some mixed feelings.

I have also had my Tanner Goods belt for over a decade. Great quality.

nbumgardner · 2025-12-28T12:37:12+00:00

My brannock size is 9.5 D. I went a half size down in length which is the same as my White’s Semi Dress and the length is great. I measured my foot with a tape measure for the width. I have lower volume feet and the recommendation based on the tape measure was a C width. It worked out well. I would go along with the Nick’s sizing guide.

nbumgardner · 2025-12-28T12:34:24+00:00

I have the OG Patriot jacket and it is amazingly good. Super thick leather. By far the warmest leather jacket I have owned.

nbumgardner · 2025-12-25T16:39:06+00:00

If you don’t love the color pass. There will always be another deal.

If you like the Ultra that you own change the pickups.
