Pho reel dough. How was the fit of the sweater? True to size? Did you have to pick a size up or down?
Im a midget, 5-8, can actually do a pull up (could probably even get 20 if you guys would let me kip) and run more than 3 miles without needing a crash cart, about 185 pounds, chest bigger diameter than waist.
That said I went medium.
Only layer I intend under it will be a thermal or a t-shirt.
Its pretty heavy gauge wool, not as heavy as the green scratchy sand paper grade sweater though.....the 42 WP no longer fits as well due to either shrinkage or girthage.

Its merino, so its a bit softer.
Id picture that wearing wool bibs, an appropriate thin insulating layer, the sweater over that and an appropriate shell, with any activity, say snowshoeing Id be stripping the shell to get some air and in all but the coldest weather Ill be fine. T-shirt, this sweater, shell - all that would be needed for skiing.
Ive finally got enough first class winter gear I just needs to get me some real outdoor winter time. My only weakness clothing wise would be hand coverings.
I tried on the large........too long for 5-8 midget man, little long in the sleeves.....could probably have made it work but medium - mo better for me.
Thanks! I think a medium will work!
Make sure you pick the wool one.......they sell same thing in cotton.
If the price doesnt make you say "My ass!" you are looking at the cotton one.
Kids, grandkids and a great-grandkid
"Teaching moments" is the gayest fucking thing I have ever heard.Or use it as a teaching moment and show him there are more important things than being part of the crowd.
But hey, your kid...your call.
Is this sweater acceptable to wear into starcucks while I get my peppermint soy latte? Just trying to coordinate for my morning trip.
"Teaching moments" is the gayest fucking thing I have ever heard.
The only thing worse than that are the people that support Columbia Sportswear and Nike, Portland/Beaverton, Oregon.........Well...... they are made in Seattle.....
Alright man, I don’t really want to be in a pissing match with anyone about their parenting, especially not when everything sucks as much dick as it does right now. Good on ya for getting a cool sweater, trying to meet their stupid mandate with your bandana, and coming up with the phrase, what was it, “fuck yourself on a tree of dicks”? That’s good shit. Mario looks like a hell of a guy. I’m glad he passed peacefully. I’m sure there were many days when he was sure that would not be his fate. Both my grandfathers were WW2 vets. One Army, Coast Guard. I’m glad they lived long enough for me to meet them and then went west before 2020.
Definitely if you have a waxed handle-bar mustache and ride to the coffee shop on a penny-farthing.
Sage advice. Perhaps you should take a taste of your own medicine...............He should have left after the first time instead of coming here to virtue signal about his asshole-ness.
I live in Satans crotch and we don’t get snow. Did my fair share of snowshoeing, skiing, some skijoring behind a sus-v in Alaska , does that count? I do have a manly beard and drive a diesel (baby diesel) so maybe that will irk the coffee makers some as well. As for guns, I had to stop shooting my 50 as of today since apparently I was doing it wrong by staying at 200 or less and it was the only gun I own.Depends.....
Take it out in the brutal winter cold and empower it with some testosterone from shooting, snowshoeing, skiing or otherwise doing shit that the barrista would consider unsavory due the "harsh conditions" you may get looked on as cro magnon man.
The kid selling this to me did say to wear it as long as possible between cleanings because it is dry clean only. He said I could spot clean it and if necessary maybe hand wash it or gently use some woolite............
Ive had my Filson bibs 5-6 years now and they have been doing all sort of winter shit and are yet to see a cleaning.
Wool....air it out and carry on.........sunshine is the best disinfectant.
Just a real beard that may or may not be full of steak I ate for lunch.Definitely if you have a waxed handle-bar mustache and ride to the coffee shop on a penny-farthing.
I had the impression that you were a strict hetero. Not a "particular" hetero, but a hetero, none the less........Is that the Navy guide sweater? No homo.
It'z an Oosik. Duh........Is this tusk still available?
sounds like you’ve got this style down alreadyA full beard is definitely hipster enough, as long as it is paired with a wool sweater (and preferably suspenders), for a Portland area Starbucks. You’re in.
You are a good man sir. Even if you do buy gay sweaters, let your kid buy Nikes and ride aFirst of all lets take a moment to remember my friend Mario D.

He passed in his sleep at the age of 98 Monday. He would have been 99 in two weeks....
In his youth he went to Guadalcanal to fight for the right of a government to decide which businesses would operate and at what capacity, ensure your privacy was nill and to empower every person to get in your face and request you to comply with mandates totally unrelated to any science.

They made men of better character back than and his passing is a loss to the country. Couldnt really hang out with him due the CV19 BS and I know he dearly missed the Marine Corps Birthday due the cancellation of the big event this year. Looks like no more "Oldest Marine in attendance" cake for him....last year was his last.....

and as far as my kids.......They live in the belly of the beast and they have stood up to the BS and shown great courage when the easy thing would have been to just agree. Im proud of their Americanism and the degree to which they resist the shit.
I cant take everything away from them because of shitty politics.
If they want to enjoy sports who am I to deny that?
You would have to be a total dick parent to remove everything from them.
Something tells me you have no problem with that.
"IF" you're going to use any Woolite, buy some and try it out on a blind patch (not on your sweater). My experience is that they changed the formula about 3 years ago and it now smells like shit. They couldn't have just left it alone, the way it always had been. The owner's retard son or nephew got a job as marketing manager and just had to "improve" things.......Disappointing as hell. I don't think you can even buy an unscented version of Woolite nowadays. Too bad, it used to be great stuff.Depends.....

Absolutely stunning. I will see good snow like that again before I leave this world. As for snowboarding, I’ll pass. I had one in Alaska and that experience is marked on the times in my life where I truly thought I had really screwed the pooch.Back Country, Telemark, Randonnee skiing intrigue me.
The idea of putting on skins to climb, being able to downhill, having a boot suitable for some walking around in just seems totally practical.
My wife blew her knee out so that has kind of put a damper on the ski trips for the short term. Kids wiped her out actually getting off the lift and opened an old injury.
Ive been thinking of trying it out at my local ski place by renting gear.
Kind of soured on that when I rented a snow board to try that out and found falling on my ass sucked so I went back to downhill fast.
Telemarking though....that might be an easier transition than the board.
Would like to enjoy this little place in the middle of the local ski mountain after "skinning" up hill to it.

They serve a fine coffee....and the kids like the cider donuts.

Guess I’m really not in that crowd. Carpenters jeans and boots is about it for me.You got to have skinny jeans though.....
AT is the way if you have downhill experience. The uphill elegance of telemark gear with the familiarity of regular old downhill stuff. I’ve skied for 40 years...snowboarded twice and telemarked for a couple seasons. Telemarking isn’t “hard” to learn but all my ski-mountaineering (colorado, ak, or, wa) has been on AT (randonee) gear because the come down is so much better.
Ah, I see you prefer your kids get their education/morals from others instead of being a proper dad to them."Teaching moments" is the gayest fucking thing I have ever heard.

Who the hell are you to tell anyone how they should raise their kids?Ah, I see you prefer your kids get their education/morals from others instead of being a proper dad to them.
Fuck you you fucking fuckYou really showed them. Way to be an asshole to people just trying to do their job. As if they make the rules at their. PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESS.
Have been in several stores that had signage but didn't say shit.You really showed them. Way to be an asshole to people just trying to do their job. As if they make the rules at their. PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESS.
At least the green line hasn’t derailed recently. Or has it?Dude if the Kaepernick store was selling tourniquets and the green line had just run across both my legs I would drag my self on but if my kid wants to spend his money there so that he feels he fits in with his peers than sound politics needs to take a hiatus.
What. You are not shooting the 50 Ackley Improved. I hear it does wonders for 308. Imagine the 50 AI.Can anyone tell me the ballistics of my 50 BMG ammo?
Uhhhh.... what’s this carb, points and manual brakes stuff you’re talking about?No way man this is Jack London sweater material. I can live with wolves wearing this bad boy.
Kid ended up buying something at the Addidas store....fucking addidas built parts for the Panzerfaust in WWII to smoke Sherman Tanks with GIs inside.......looks like we are screwed no matter what shoe company we use unless its Alden.
My Harleys are circa 1974 and 1996 no gay shit there.....manly ass carburetors, points or a solid state ignition and brakes that have no computer input.
Uhhhh.... what’s this carb, points and manual brakes stuff you’re talking about?

About halfway up Mt. Rainier a few years ago. Skinning in AT gear. Warm and comfy for the skin and View attachment 7518465after the switch to crampons and felt just like any normal downhill setup for the descent.
You wanna know two months of wrenching and one day of riding, pick up one of theseThose Harleys look like the rest that I've seen minus the oil spots under them. 2 months of wrenching for a day of riding. Well not a whole day
