Re: Adventurebilt Status Update Anyone?

Speaking as a cancer survivor, the moment right after going into remission after treatments can be as brutal as the treatments themselves. Your immune system can be nearly gone. You have zero energy. You go around feeling sick, even if there is nothing wrong with you. It will take Steve several mon...

Re: Adventurebilt Status Update Anyone?

It's obvious Steve has been through quite a lot in recent months. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that he is still at it, but I am grateful that he is because I still hope to get one of his hats real soon. Nevertheless, for the longest time it has appeared that he has been overwhelmed with the workloa...

Well, mine just came today! I love it! It's a little large, I probably could have gone xl instead of xxl. Having said that, in looking at the pictures of MOTB, I think it's very close. It is nice and warm, I'm wearing it now.

Pretty much the way it went. I might also add, dealing with Tony with the CS jacket, I knew if he felt anything would not work for a real word jacket, he would change it. That's what one of the many things I like about Tony.
