Non Stock Heavyweight Champion Spark Plugs Ringer Shirt

Another eBay purchase through a rock solid seller (note to mods, I can remove this if its against the rules): lovejoylife who seem to be an importer of various Chinese brands like Bronson/Non Stock and Red Tornado with a mix of some stuff coming from China while other items in their US based warehouse.

I was astonished by the sheer weight of this shirt as I'm used to the general market "heavyweight" shirts that just feel like the weight a standard shirt was at like 20 years ago. Probably got a size too big, but we'll see how it shrinks up in the wash.

It almost feels as weighty as a flannel, absolutely wild to me.

They had a sale on this one and got it under $19 (price doesn't include shipping and import charge and taxes since my state charges for that too even for online purchases).

Going to take Bronson/Non Stock serious for heavyweight shirts from now on.

No idea where or who you are Evelyn Deckard, but you make a mean Aloha shirt

Purchased off the "bay" only a few days ago for $25 (USD). Super fast shipping too. My guess it was made for someone's family trip. Heavier cotton than I would normally wear for an Aloha shirt, but should also hold up well over the years. Brilliant color too. Might pair these with my surplus OG-507 fatigues.

Damn I love these things - Fudge Rough Out Vellies

Honestly thinking of grabbing another pair just to have as a backup/rotational pair. Have a hard time wearing anything else because these fit and feel so nice regardless of sock thickness. Perfect summer boot.

Couldn't get a snap of it, but he often sits on top of it when it's closed too.

Taylor Heritage Goods 18 oz. Full Grain Veg Tan Belt

Should be arriving in a few days, but ordered a custom heritage style belt from Taylor Heritage Goods on Etsy. Looking forward to breaking it in and creating a nice fine patina. Wish they had black, but I might see if that can be an option in the future or a DIY project for later if I order a second one. Now to start shopping for selvedge jeans.
