Ugh, well, I ordered an M as well as an L.
My dude, treat yourself to a hamburger or two or three or fifty this weekend. They are delicious.

Prolly flip it on grailed for an obscene profit - but really, depending on sizing, the M could fit small? I feel so guilty.

Hello Derek, I hope that you will help me.
Please explain the difference between the Panama and Canvas fabrics.
As an example
Panama
http://www.brisbanemoss.co.uk/shadecard.php?id=104&type=3
Canvas
http://www.brisbanemoss.co.uk/shadecard.php?id=66&type=3
The weight is the same in both cases, I want to order the fabric for the pants.
What Canvas fabric looks like, I roughly imagine.
I can assume that Panama fabric is more summer, judging by the name.
There's an article on your blog about Panama fabric, but this article is about ties.

Perhaps you have a photo of clothes from Panama fabric?
I apologize to everyone for my еnglish.
Hey @dieworkwear
I just wanted to say I hate you for leading me down a rabbit hole that led to this. However, I loved your pen article, and I took your ink and pad recommendations. I’ve been looking for a way to gather my increasingly scattered life and it has made a massive difference for me.

I used to use a fountain pen (a pretty basic Rotring), in part because I didn't like disposable pens, as in your post, D. But I stopped when I realized the ink smeared if the paper got wet and it faded to the point of being illegible after about 10 yrs. Maybe the ink was bad, but it was Montblanc, which should have been good, no? I kind of want this pen. Nowadays, I just use an old Parker jotter, in turquoise to remind me of my SW desert upbringing.
Ha, that's from Leigh Reyes' site, right? How did you stumble upon her blog?
I wanted to mention that Nakaya, but I also didn't want to start talking about $1,500 pens because I thought that would put people off. Feel like fountain pens are often seen as frou-frou status symbols, which can be kind of offputting if you're not already into them.
There are some reviews of that Nakaya on YouTube. That pen is incredible. If it didn't cost $1,500, I'd buy one. Caveats:
1. It will absolutely look like a chopstick rest if you use it outside
2. It doesn't fit into most pen cases
3. If anyone ever finds out how much you paid, you will be rightfully roasted.
4. It's essentially a Platinum 3776 nib in a fancy body. And you can get a Platinum 3776 nib for like $100.
5. They stopped making them -- kind of. Now you have to rush on their site and order when they offer them for limited periods.
Prob up there for me as a grail pen, but I can't justify paying $1,500-ish. Second-hand markets aren't that much better because pen nerds love Nakayas.
It is from Leigh Reyes’ site - and I just kind of stumbled across it as I went down the rabbit hole.
Unsurprisingly, you seem knowledgeable about pens. I’d be interested in a more detailed follow up article, maybe addressing the high end word (I have been reading about Hakase now).
I feel this way about watches as well (as another frou frou item that I like (but don’t have to enough) to spend money on): I appreciate the viewpoint of someone who is interested in clothing. For some reason, some of the pen/watch nerds (of which I am happy to be one) don’t necessarily apply their taste in pens/watches to other aspects of their lives. Stated otherwise, a lot of watch nerds are car nerds, and don’t really care about clothing. I’m always interested in hearing the perspective of someone who has my “root” interest.
Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure, I bought the sole Dorsal Fin pen that Nibs imported (figured I could always flip due to scarcity).
