Ditto. Rows after rows of people so geared up, they might as well proceed to Annapurna while they're at it, but no, you often see the same sort, taking a break only at the most narrow spots on the path. I just run past them and ignore the comments. The entire etiquette where you have to say hi to the people who have reached the summit (of one mile) is so annoying. There's like a thousand people you'll pass at any given day. It's not that big of a deal.

The thing is: I always loved the woods. Have been out on my own forever. These lockdown days, all people can do is go hiking or beat up your family, so all places I used to have for myself are so cowded now. Really can´t and won´t blame anybody for doing what I do but still: It´s not the same anymore.

When we went for a walk through the dunes, my gf was complaining that she had to listen to the conversations of those walking before and those walking behind us. That's how crowded it was.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but it sounds awful. I never go anywhere near nature myself if I can help it so I can't say if those sorts of capers go on here.

Simmons Bilt J100 for today's 18C out and 33C run home.
The black goathide was just too warm, and it is "much cooler" than my entire Schott collection
Should have been either the vented Vanson Sturgis OR the perforated Vanson Comet. You "live and learn" haha...

Can I ask how's the SB goathide? Is it comfortable to wear? And not too heavy, I think?

I live 10 mins from the beach so my New Year’s resolution is to shoot a lot more pics outdoors that showcase La Jolla/San Diego. But for now an indoor shot with a non-leather. Levi’s Made and Crafted Neppy Trucker.

Your photos are always great!

New to me: Lewis Leathers Phantom. Beautiful horsehide.

Really great fit and jacket but I think it's sheep, though. Which would be my personal favorite by LL and by far.

Fjällräven is a little bit more expensive compared to North Face, which I haven’t tried so I can’t comment on any quality differences. They might be even more expensive for you in the US, since it’s a Swedish brand. Fjällräven make super durable stuff though. My favourite flannel shirt is a fjällräven, I’ve had it for 7 years and have worn it for maybe a 100 days a year. NO sign of wear at all. Even the colours look the same as when it was brand new. I used to own another fjällräven shirt that I got from a thrift store, which I wore for several years. In the end I got bored with it so I gave it away to a thrift store. It was also in great condition after who knows how many years?

Thanks! I’m pretty pumped about the Wrangler trucker and how it fits. All the dimensions are really close to the dimensions that I gave to 5* so that one should fit similarly. It actually arrived to Sweden this morning so I should be able to pick it up later today or tomorrow. Really excited about it!


Got it. I checked their online store and it's pretty much the same type of clothing I see people wear here but looks like it's more slimmer. My local weather is too mild and I don't do any hard core outdoors activity that would necessitate specialized clothing so I'm lucky I don't have to spend much. Flannel shirts are just cool, really cozy and love how easy to wear it is

It fits you well. Nice! Hope you get to wear that 5* wrangler today!

Thanks, it’s Nostromo crew cap from the movie Alien

Thanks, i think the f1.8 lens does all the job for me.

Just got this one in the mail, Schott Suede rancher in 38. Looks more like a +36 but Thanks to the precise measurements from the seller, its spot on . Love the thickness of the suede on that one.

That's a beautiful suede jacket. It doesn't look like Schott leather. Where did you purchase that?

I've got a decent "oil man sweater", an old Pendleton I scored on Maxwell Street years ago, with buttons made from Buffalo nickels(!). One elbow was shot, but still worth the bargain purchase. These days my GF has stolen it as her house sweater, doubt I'll get it back... which is fine, gives me an excuse to buy another sweater.

My first coach had a fruit and veggie stand on Maxwell St!

This was acquired on the most recent incarnation of 'Maxwell Street', on Des Plaines north of Roosevelt. From "The Sweater Guy," who... only sold sweaters. Proper wool ones. Like $5 each or something nuts, off of a folding plastic table. Maybe 7 years ago? Used to go every Sunday & hit Rubi's for Quesadillas, my friends called it "going to church."
