I hope this is OK to do. If not, delete this sucker. From the thread over yonder... https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/stg-closes-mac-baren-and-sutliff.107172/

Else Marie Pade & Jacob Kirkegaard - Svævninger 2013 - if you've ever been interested in minimalism, but have had little success getting into it, maybe try this album. This is tonal minimalism, while most often you'll run into harmonic minimalism. That's how I differentiate it anyway, and...

My first car was a '69 Chevelle Malibu 350 2-barrell. It was bought as a family car by my great uncle, who sold it to my uncle, who sold it to me for $300. It was a total rust bucket by then, and I begrudgingly bondo-ed it and painted it in a hay barn. That was probably the actual fastest car...

my experience with a beard and pipe smoking has been positive, especially with English blends. Beards DO hold scent, but in a good way. Smell latakia all day long after a single smoke.

I've stuck with the basics. Tinfoil hat. Coffee grounds in the corners. Those sort of things.

I'm excited to see them in the US, but I'm going to wait for some reviews from folks who smoked them before this deal. I hope this doesn't turn out to be a bunch of altered recipes due to increased volume, and I hope it doesn't turn into some buying small batch-esque frenzy every time they're...

When I worked at a shop, we had two trays of quality pipes besides a bowl of buckets pipes and a couple higher end ones in a glass case. One was Stanwell, and the other was Brebbia. We were lucky to sell one $20+ pipe a year, but the owner went with those two (and this guy was Dunhill-only...

Thanks for the extra pictures. That's such a cool pack. The history of that fabric is interesting (made from flax and nettle).* I have a question: is that pack loud? With all the clips and metal-on-metal pivot points, is it noisy? The Swiss didn't seem to prioritize noise with their stuff...

I love those old surplus rucksacks. They're all similar in basic configuration, but with small tweaks here and there. A couple years ago, I looked to get a backup for mine, but they were no longer cheap. I have a real problem wanting backups to my favorite pieces of clothing, gear, etc. My...

That Fjallraven wax isn't too terribly priced. Some of them can get ridiculous (big surprise, huh?) with their pricing. You can also make it. There are many recipes, but I happen to have this one bookmarked. Never tried it myself. I'm guessing a hairdryer is a must, but I always use one...

https://www.eventfabrics.com/products/outerwear#bio at first, I thought eVent was another term for ventile, which is great stuff, military related, and notoriously expensive. It is not. Looks like another goretex alternative. The prices on this stuff are simply absurd. Another example is...

I've seen those somewhere, but I can't put a finger on where. I don't dig deep into bushcraft or militaria, but because surplus has always interesting to me, I run into oddities by chance all the time. Aren't they called a cagoule? Patagonia had them in the 80s that I've seen in collectable...

Thanks. Never heard of her. That's a pretty fair price, really. More than I would spend on that particular style/piece, but the very few other wool anoraks I've seen are north of $225.

I have a dream...with a 99.5% likeliness that it will remain a dream...of having this (now) very expensive British anorak being patterned and made out of old military blankets. I'd have to find a seamstress who is keen on making patterns without disassembling the garment (who wouldn't charge an...

My schedule used to be two months > trim to stubble > two months > trim to stubble... I tried shaping it and doing all kinds of different things to go longer, but after around 8 weeks, it drove me nuts. For a couple years, I let just my chin area keep growing longer than that before also...

I thought you were going to post about something like Michael Prime's bioelectrical experiments. https://www.discogs.com/release/297359-Michael-Prime-L-Fields

Having ran a couple mailorder hobbies, I'm rather impressed that they care about their product that much. They could have crammed it into a golf club box, or something like that, but why disturb their work? The price on oversized box shipping, regardless of weight, has gone nuts. I used to...
