A modest proposal:

This season buy fewer, better, longer lasting clothes. We still have extraordinary clothing brands like Hertling making garments in the USA.

Mastering the Art of Waxed Jackets: A Comprehensive Guide

Waxed jackets, a staple of outdoor apparel, have evolved from practical rainwear for sailors and fishermen to fashionable outerwear for adventurers and style enthusiasts alike. At Speedwear Ltd, we celebrate this timeless piece's rich history, provide essential care tips, and offer styling advice to ensure you look your best in women's waxed jackets and men's waxed jackets. Let's delve into the ultimate guide to waxed jackets.

The Rich History of Waxed Jackets

Originating in the early 15th century, waxed jackets were designed to protect sailors from harsh marine conditions. Crafted from sailcloth infused with fish oils and later paraffin or beeswax, these jackets offered waterproof qualities essential for life at sea. This practical outerwear's durability and weather resistance soon made it a favorite among land-based adventurers, leading to its adoption by motorcyclists, farmers, and hunters. Over time, waxed jackets transitioned from purely functional gear to a fashion statement, embodying a blend of ruggedness and sophistication.

Caring for Your Waxed Jacket

Maintaining the pristine condition of your waxed jacket ensures its longevity and effectiveness. Here are some essential care tips:

Cleaning: Avoid washing your jacket in a machine. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.

Re-waxing: To maintain its waterproof qualities, re-wax your jacket annually or biannually, depending on usage. You can purchase wax from Speedwear Ltd and follow our straightforward application instructions.

Storage: Hang your jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and mildew buildup. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric.

Styling Your Waxed Jacket

Waxed jackets are incredibly versatile, suitable for various occasions, from casual outings to more formal events. Here's how to style them:

Casual Look: Pair a BROWN GRESFORD WAX COTTON MOTORCYCLE JACKET with jeans and boots for a timeless, rugged look. This ensemble is perfect for weekend adventures.

Smart Casual: Elevate your waxed jacket by wearing it over a sweater and chinos. The TAN CLASSIC WAX COTTON MOTORCYCLE JACKET offers a sophisticated yet understated style suitable for dinner dates or casual business meetings.

For Women: The HAVANA WOMAN'S WAX COTTON MOTORCYCLE JACKET can be styled with a floral dress and ankle boots for a chic, feminine look that seamlessly transitions from day to night.

Whether you're a seasoned motorcyclist or someone who appreciates the blend of function and fashion, motorcycle jackets and motorcycle outerwear from Speedwear Ltd offer the perfect mix of durability, style, and history. Embrace the legacy of waxed jackets and make them a staple of your wardrobe for years to come.

I was thinking about WOL outfits and what not, so here's a question:

And to elaborate on the difference between option 1 and option 2, a brief explanation of my interpretations under the cut:

Illusion magic only masks the true appearance of an item, bending the light aether around the item to make it look different to the naked eye. No physical properties of the armour changes. It maintains its original dimensions and weight. If your WOL was wearing full plate armour then glamoured it to something more revealing, if someone tried to stab an exposed area, their knife would stop on impact of the concealed armour.

Transformation magic will fully alter the physical appearance of the armour into the applied glamour. It will take on the shape and structure of the WOL's desired form, but the properties of the materials used will be maintained. The high grade metal of the armour will be altered to a state where it was like a woven thread. The item would provide the same degree of protection as the original where it physically exists in its glamoured state. If your WOL glamoured their plate armour into a the street wear top, their actual abdomen could be pierced by weapon. Because this is magic you could fudge the physics if you so choose or say there's a secondary spell involved; but I'd imagine that if the transformation was completely lossless, your glamoured item will weight the same amount as the un-glamoured version. (Otherwise it would be more like a transmutation which is a lossy conversion and not reversible. The WOL turned their new savage tier BIS armour into a hempen camise and lost 95% of the material in the process. When they dispel the glamour they have that hempen camise's amount of the original armour piece.)

That's my take on the two options! I don't know if either of them really contradict any canon in-game explanations to the glamour system tbh. It's been so long since I picked up the intro quest and the only time I remember glamours being used as a plot device it was in the ARR Hildebrand quest line (I think the very end or within the coliseum arc, either way I'm not doing all that just to check and see that it says nothing of note)

#ffxiv #ffxiv poll #wolqotd #For Arsay her glams are what shes actually wearing! #Tataru will either be the one crafting the outfit for Arsay making sure its made out of strong materials #or she will modify what Arsay brings to her fortifying it and making it adventure-ready #Arsay has simply gotten very good at not getting stabbed in the gut #She needs to be fast on her feet and nimble at all times so she has to stick to lightweight gear of durable woven cloths and treated leathe #She also uses glamours on her skin and for that case its illusion magic #She's covering up her many arcane geometry tattoos and a whole lot of scars from battle #If you were to run your hand over her skin you'd feel the scar tissue easily

Hey I don't know who needs to hear this but you're allowed to learn new skills without any intent of ever making them into a career. In fact I highly encourage you to learn a skill that you'll refuse to ever accept currency for. You're also allowed to be shit at it, too.

Humans created painting and dancing and singing and storytelling and writing and sewing and theatre and carving and so many other forms of art to express ourselves as well as share our stories and feelings with our peers. None of it was created for money. None of it was created to be perfect. Watch a tutorial or buy a guide or take actual classes, it doesn't matter, but learn the thing.

#i am getting actually very good at embroidery #like I'm hand-embroidering patches and they look GOOD and they're DURABLE it's actually so cool #i also learned how to mend clothes and I'm excited to learn how to work with leather to make harnesses for myself #i refuse to do any of this shit for money it is FOR ME #so i can be shit at it and it doesn't feel bad #that's how i got good at embroidering too #hell yea #personal

I bought some French chore coats from this guy who found an abandoned warehouse where they used to manufacture clothes in the 1960s. Since it's like... post-war europe it's all tie-down instead of button down and they're super durable and comfortable but the fun thing is that he's selling them as he found them. Like straight out of the random box on the factory floor in the abandoned warehouse. There's dirt in one of the pockets. It smells crazy. I love it. To be fair he did warn me about the pocket dirt

#smokey talks #feels neat to own tbh bc #theyre in such a limited quantity since this dude just stumbled upon them and bought them up b4 they were to be destroyed #and theyre largely untouched from when they were made #plus its just. nice to have some clothes that are actually made of fabric not plastic and are quite durable #plus the slaaaay. i feel like marquis mongaga

After cutting my hair short & my face changing to look less like my parents’ with age ... I can finally wear a plaid flannel shirt and not be met with the horror of seeing the spitting image of my mom (who constantly wears flannel shirts) staring back at me from every mirror ...

LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! I'M FREEEE!!!

#🎃 Cryptid Sighting #Not to put her down for that- she rocks plaid flannels #Which it's always amazing someone who seems so butch coded is such a raging & insideous homophobe #But I've longed to wear flannels. They're so comfy & durable #However the last time I tried one on I had the most violent uncomfortable reaction when I saw myself in a mirror & it was HER #But I was rummaging through some boxes for cold weather clothes & found the one plaid flannel shirt I ever kept- #- thinking it could be hidden away under layers for Really Cold Days ... and because the colors SLAP #Tried it on to see if it still fit & braced myself for a mirror check - and I look like me :) not her #Ahhhhhhh I'm having big gender feelings rn and it feels good #MY ENBY/BUTCH ENERGY GROWS!!! SORTA!!! THE PLAID IS TOO POWERFUL!

#i've been wearing men's shirts for a long time now #and since I've found a few pairs of men's pants that fit #i kinda never want to go back ever again #men's clothing is incredibly comfy #also extremely durable and there is so. much. room. in the pockets #i can fit a pen in the pocket of my shirt #and my phone can go into the FRONT pocket of my pants #i am a cross-dresser now #:/

working of my last reblog - a thrifting tip that really helped me a lot in terms of acquiring clothes that last longer is that if you check the tag you may be able to see what year it was made in and it's almost guaranteed that something from before 2009 will last you much longer than clothes made past it

#shout out to my durable and colorful pants from the 70s #additionally you should absolutely learn hand sewing / mending skills #it seems daunting at first but it will make your clothes last for years to come and if you pick up embroidery you can even make stained #clothing have a much longer closet life #letters from rokkenjima

#i like them all but i’m leaning toward the cloth one it looks more durable

Also now that I realize I can rant: I hate jeans

Like I actually LOATHE jeans. They’re scratchy and uncomfortable and I feel so confined cause denim doesn’t breathe in my opinion.

I wore them for over 2 decades because like… I thought I had to. Like you wore jeans or nice pants with jeans being every day and cloth pants being the ‘you wear this for nice events’.

I was 26 when I had the epiphany: no wait I don’t have to. No one actually gives a fuck if I wander around in sweatpants. No one cares if I wear cloth pants instead of jeans with my hoodie. No one gives a fuck.

So I’ve been happily wearing whatever the fuck I want ever since.

Fuck jeans.

#jeans suck #so much #I mean great for like working in #they’re durable and shit #but fuck them for every day #give me soft cloth pants and a loose sweater

Don’t remember if I said this already but after Ascaris grows into Valantinez they CAN siphon blood out of others if they’re super close to dying because they used up too much blood ammunition whether Valantinez does it by choice or if Ascaris takes over and starts going Wild to ensure their survival

#thinking about them having to siphon off of J’ihwu one time and he’s Super Into It #like. teeth DEEP into his neck #and like. they’re trying their hardest to not drain him dry but they literally cannot stop. #to the point where they’re fully pinning him to the ground #and they’re both getting into it. and then Valantinez kinda snaps out of it and they shut down for a good while out of guilt #meanwhile J’ihwu is down there and he looks FUCKED up (in the most positive way humanly possible might I add) #he would’ve been fine no matter what btw he’s extremely durable #and every once in a while after that he’s like. fully begging them to do it again. they keep turning him down (from the guilt) #until he gets fed up #and slashes at his own neck in the spot that Valantinez was on #and he grabs them by the front of their clothes tugs them down and smushed their face into the wound #and they hesitate for a minute before slowly drinking from him again #and. and. and. well to put it simply they fuck nasty or whatever I don’t know what to tell you. that’s how that ends. #lots of Actual Biting And Clawing And Blood #oc stuff

I hate that within my lifetime, the quality of fucking EVERYTHING has gone down so much. Every piece of clothing you can find is made of cheap polyester that will rip within the year. Your dining chairs fall apart and every wall of your house is made of thin drywall. Windows are plastic and not glass, brand new plates break before the ones you've had since childhood do, phones are made to break and cars are run by shitty computers that don't work half the time. Planned obsolescence is in EVERYTHING and im sick of it i'm going to start killing

#like. going to thrift stores and seeing clothes from 10 20 30 even 50 years ago still in great condition #because its made of durable and good quality material #next to things that are very modern that are already broken #ITS BONKERS

what do you use for fabric paint ‼️‼️ your shit always looks so good. i’ve heard glycerin and vinegar is good but i’m sceptical

arylic paint from officeworks💪💪 next time i make some i can post the process like step by step if you want !

#operating under the assumption that you wash your clothes i would NOT recommend this #i dont wash my crusties which is why the patches are still intact/i like them faded from dirt not water #if yr school has a print/textile department i reckon you could nick a couple jars if you want something more durable/less digusting #asks

extremely not a fan of online shopping for a few reasons, not least that dealing with returns in a timely fashion is stupidly hard when you have adhd, but unfortunately if you're specifically interested in merino it turns out a bunch of merino-focused brands are online-only... which is really pretty ironic considering that a significant part of what's driving my interest in merino is wanting an eco-friendlier alternative to plastics, and trucking packages back and forth really cuts into that eco-friendliness!

#i mean it still gets 'doesn't produce microplastics when washed' points #and 'somehow manages to both warm AND wick better than polyester' points #and ultimately you have to like. figure out your particular set of needs and priorities and then just. do your best— #there is no perfect way to thread the needle and getting paralyzed by scrupulosity is not actually an improvement— #but it IS just like. sigh the irony #and of course it's like. if stuff has a little nylon for durability then you're still producing microplastics... #fewer than a whole polyester garment would‚ i assume #and like. i do in fact need my clothes to be machine washable‚ not to mention last long enough to justify the price #so: the nylon. and so: microplastics. #which just feel like they ARE gonna give us all cancer down the road. which terrifies me! #i don't know. probably i should be like. committing to 100% merino and then committing to handwashing but like. the aforementioned adhd #laundry is already a Struggle‚ and having to lay things flat already compounds it #if things had to be washed by hand on top of that... i just really don't see that working out for me #and like. ultimately what i‚ one (1) individual‚ choose to do in this regard is just‚ like‚ a finger in the dike #(an expression i can never use without laughing a little but. shh. it's a different vowel i swear.) #the whole thing DOES just make me feel crazy and terrible if i think about it too much #so like. trying to improve my practices a little but‚ like‚ without quite looking what i'm doing in the eye #which. is a hard balancing act‚ lol
