Pretty sure I have a 20mm classic Bond in both NATO and RAF. Oh well. Saves me hunting through my knife and watch box.

Christmas present from my wonderful wife. Vintage 90s reefer coat, Navy issue. Planning to have the buttons re-sewn with Aero HD thread and then a good dry cleaning. Excellent condition for a 30+ year old coat. Makes me feel like DI Perez in Shetland, lol. I'm chuffed!

Nice. Paired with a heavy sweater and watch cap to keep cold at bay.

Nice looking shoes. Let us know how the break-in period goes.

Very little break in. Maybe a couple of days. Taken on several daily walks so far, 1 - 2 miles per day. Easier break in than Alden.

The Trickers shoes never broke in. They just hurt the ankle so no longer wearing.

I found a CNS RAF bond and a Barton NATO in my box of odds and ends. I refunded the blushark strap, but, ordered another screen accurate RAF strap from I think England okay 20mm so not accurate. Same price, but, it has to be nicer than the CNS strap. Helenarou.com

San Martin made it a day early. Unfortunately I have to take it to get the bracelet off. I fooled with it myself for some time, but, didn’t get anywhere.

I have lost 30 lbs or so in the last year and still shedding some weight so not much is fitting right anymore. Not even the latest acquisition. So rather than buying new pants and belt until I finally hit the target weight I decided to save money and punch holes.

This could have gone in Outdoors as well.

Here is my new AD or addiction. Based on many favorable reviews here from @Toothpick and a few others.

Slowly starting to replace my socks with Darn Tough. Now I need some summer 1/4 length for running.

2 pair Mid-Weight Micro Crew with cushion.

2 pair Mid-Weight 1/4 length with cushion.

3 pair Lightweight Crew no cushion.

Washed, dried, folded.

I don’t own any other brand. I stocked up on various sizes and warmth and haven’t ordered any in about a year or more now. I haven enough the socks I wear get washed once a week.

Thanks for your recommendation. The limited time I had with my first pair was enough to order additional pairs.

I will slowly add more and start tossing the riff raff socks I have accumulated over the years.

I’m thinking about a pair of Nicks or Whites work boots. Problem is I typically need custom and would really feel more comfortable if I could see one of their sales reps in person. Washington is a long way from me

Casio A168W-1 "Montenegro Special."

Got me a new pair of boots

Waiting on a pair of espadrilles to be delivered. They'll primarily be worn around the house.

Just found this neat vintage Dopp style toiletries bag in a thrift store. Can’t find a brand name on it, but it’s in very good condition for the age it looks to be.

 

[La Malice]

No other damage than what you can see. For $5 it was hard to pass it up. Now I just need to find some shoes to use it .

Another day in the thrift store. Not sure the belt will stay, but the kid will enjoy the baseball caps and the new docker kaki shorts should fit now that I dropped weight. Nice LL Bean heavy weight fabric polo. I passed on a few shirts, I am sure I will regret it next October

Just received this beauty for a very good deal in the mail on Saturday. A Waltham model 1883 grade 3, nickel case, made in September 1891. She's a bit rough around the edges, but has kept time for the last 3 days
