    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Kevin can F Himself. AMC. I finished watching. It's a cross between All in the Family, Weeds, The King of Queens, and probably other things I'm not readily recognizing. It's nicely done, but I'm questioning how well it will wear several episodes down the line. The shtick is so heavy-handed...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Are those the American Heritage 8" 814-4201?

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Us. PBS-Masterpiece. When Masterpiece throws in these present-day series, it throws me off. And all the damn cell phone use in a show. Yuck. Only four episodes, presented as two in the USA? I think that's how it is edited here. I haven't seen a lot of Tom Holland, but he can sure play...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Most of the time, I consider that poor storytelling and a lack of creativity. Not having an idea and taking the easy route. Not everything has to be original and walking a new path, but too many of these programs lack ideas. The basic "where am I, and where do I want to go with it?" isn't a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Gangs of London. AMC. season finale. This show was fun. A nice surprise for the summer. But they sure did get lazy with the story the further the season went. I don't particularly care for their flashbacks and time play. I don't think it was necessary, just a way to jerk the audience. Mr...

    Military style pants

    Thanks for those dazzle articles. I think maybe Ken Burns touched upon it in one of his documentaries? I swear I've seen old film of it, but that could be mind tricks. I did find this documentary on youtube, and I plan to watch it at some point:

    Beeswax for CXL treatment

    Sno Seal is cheaper because it has plenty of additives. I believe my old tub had a list on it, but it is buried somewhere. If memory serves at all, it has silicone in it as one additive. I used to use it on my paratrooper boots that I wore for work (not military). I found a hair dryer is...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Gangs of London. AMC. This show is so over the top sometimes that it makes me chuckle out loud. I sense this is standard action movie affair making its way to the TV series realm, but in my scope of watching, it's unique like that. It's like a Rick Glassman youtube podcast. Thoroughly...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Mr Inbetween. FX. This has been a good season so far, and I like where it is going. It's the final season. Prison napalm. I would not do well in jail. I'd be the guy in the last episode.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Mr Inbetween. FX. One of my favorite shows on TV returns. I wouldn't argue it having any great merits, only that I enjoy it. I generally like the characters, even if we only see them once for a moment or two. Scott Ryan is a notable writer like that. I wish each episode was longer, but...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Gangs of London. AMC. After a fun and worthwhile episode last week, they followed up with a mostly disappointing one this week. I will say that they maybe could have done an entire series on the Danish special forces unit alone.

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    I've always liked the cut of those USN jean deals, but the front pockets wouldn't work for me. I know there are plenty of relaxed fit jeans out there, but pockets...deep pockets in the front and rear pockets designed like the original Patagonia Stand-Up pants. I really like those Patagonia...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    You aren't a fan of Girls? I thought for sure...ha. I struggled through the season finale of Myans, and now my watch has ended. I'm turning my back on this one; no further investment from me. Another thing you can look forward to/not look forward to in the series and this thread. The...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Gangs of London. AMC. I believe they pitched this as the most violent hour of TV ever aired? I'm not sure about that, but it was very violent. I appreciate and love episodes like this. Main characters barely seen. An entire episode to deepen the story, to develop characters, and to give...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Anyone know the weight of the old vintage 80s and prior Oshkosh dungarees and bibs? Triple stitched. Thinner denim and very loose fit for the summer.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    This is possibly for another thread, but there are companies trying to change the textile ballgame. PBS news recently did a piece on a Dutch denim manufacturer trying to develop new techniques that specifically have water use and waste in mind. I can't remember the name. Patagonia is...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    A couple of things. a question and a factoid. I'm realizing that I prefer triple stitch seams, which I associate with old farm wear that was common when I was a child. What brands/makers, vintage and new, are favorites with the triple stitch seams? Recommendations appreciated. I had no idea...

    Iron on patches on leather addition and removal

    I would first try duct tape to remove residue. If that doesn't work, you can use lighter fluid or WD-40 to remove the residue, but I would test them on leather prior to an important item. They're old tricks to remove sticker residue off album covers without damaging the cover. They do have...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    A Discovery of Witches. AMC+. Season 2. It's free week, and it was in the first line of recommendations. I'd forgotten about it. It went straight to a streaming service in the USA. I don't understand why, but who am I? I really like this show, but it's very flawed. It has a great cast...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Gangs of London. AMC. OK, I'm hooked. I'm liking it.
