My brother and I did an enduro race yesterday in Tuscawaras County, Ohio. Had a lot of fun and made a couple new friends to ride with. Just got done with a ride with my dad this evening and my legs are toast lol.

Halfway there...

Finally trying a pair of these Sols sneakers, they're pretty nice! They actually made a pair in size 29 cm. this time so I had to try them out (all previous models only went up to 28 cm.) I think they're loosely inspired by Purcell's, there's 5 layers of rubber on the toe cap which is kind of impressive.

@CSL I had a sample pair of them and when I had them shipped to him for repairs that was last I saw them prolly six months ago. I was talking to Mike daily for months and then all of the sudden he just completely stoppped all communication. No replies to my calls or texts. so I don’t know what’s going on with him. A bummer but I’ll just stick with supporting Freewheelers now. Haha

Haven't posted in a while , give these a wash the other week No idea how long I've worn them , maybe like 3 years ? Past few summers I'm mainly in shorts

@Dr_Heech yes mate all good , getting ready for a little family trip to France so life is pretty good

Orderd some leather cuts and e few buckles and put one together myself Last 2 pictures after its been oiled Which buckle is best?

Coupen in horse Length of the shoelace makes the knot comicly large lol

I picked up some Franks boots over Fathers Day and they arrived last week. I’m just getting around to posting pics now but they’ve been breaking in nicely since these photos were taken. These are the stock Wilshire model in Seidel’s Brown Domain leather

6 months... (but shorts won in June)

@Broark Those look great! Just wish they made a hi top model.

@julian-wolf I remember seeing them years ago from Inventory Magazine (RIP), at the time they almost exclusively offered chukka style sneakers. Now it seems like they release one model every few months, I purchased these from Persica: https://store.persica.jp/en/products/vp128623-milk And you can actually look at all their previous models on the Persica collection page: https://store.persica.jp/en/collections/sols Not really sure about much info on the brand (they hardly advertise anything) but the quality feel in line with Asahi / Doek / Moonstar. Honestly they are probably a private label manufactured by Moonstar. The insole feels sturdy and actually has a little arch support which is rare for JP canvas shoes. Just received them yesterday and wore them to work today for the first time, pretty comfy so far.

That’s hard to believe, I’ve tried 4 different Lofgren laces now and they’ve been 4 of the 5 worst laces I’ve ever tried

The RDT laces might actually be worse than the Lofgren ones. Within the first 2-3 times of wearing my pair the laces on one shoe snapped.

Worst laces ever offered on a pair of shoes or boots. I replaced them all and threw those out … except for one pair which I sent back to RDT telling them how bad they are.

😠

I'm sorry but we cannot rush repairs.. at each store we have anywhere between 30 and 75 jeans in the queue, and we do them all in the order they were received at the shop. We can mail them to you once they're done if you'd like? Alternatively, you can see if Railcar or Indigo Proof offer a rush service for repairs, they also do great work.

Forgot to say, also nice to see you posting again! Can't believe my old jeans look awesome now mate. Haven't spoke for ages, hope you and yours are all well? I'm still mainly in shorts too between May and September so can empathise.

^ I might fill the void after this terrible England performance at the Euros!!!

I received a vintage Levi's type 3 recently and I think I have the date narrowed down to 1969-1971. Hoping someone here knows more! Sorry for the terrible balance on some of the outdoor photos. The denim has some nice character and I love the crinkly collar. 525 button stamp (El Paso) Single row of stitching at the bottom button hole. After soaking in vinegar the buttons oxidized.

I’m contemplating getting a new pair of these Encinitas jeans. I’ve really enjoyed them. I’m not sure how much wear at this point.

Expensive fashion boots are nothing new Forget Clinch or Role Club, you’d probably get a better product from any of the standard brands in the $8–1200 range

^thank you so much for this @JDelage, I'd love to visit the Pacific NW, looking forward to seeing a lot more of the States all over. To answer various people's kind questions, all my UK suppliers are going strong and happy to keep working with me so at least initially production will remain unchanged and I'll be back regularly to keep on top of things. I am looking forward to seeing what new opportunities arise, however, so I hope I’ll be in the nice position of only making positive changes, as and when I can. In the meantime, I had another nice email in response to the most recent newsletter that went out, about Butterfly shirts and the new Weaver's Stock version of this design. The question was: "what’s the difference between a true cuff and a false cuff? I’ve heard that term elsewhere, but am not sure what it means. Here's my response, which might be of interest here too? Not sure if this is what other people mean by a false cuff, but I mean a cuff that is actually just a facing laid on top of the end of the sleeve panels. It’s what’s on all the Tender shirts you’ve had: A classic cuff, however, is added onto the end of the sleeve panels, and it’s this that I’ve done for the first time with the new Weaver’s Stock shirts: The true cuff just feels a bit more formal and elegant, while the false cuff is more workwear-inspired and a lot more idiosyncratic. I especially like how the fabric direction of the cuff (warp side-to-side) pulls against the sleeve (warp up and down), when the garment is dyed or washed.

visiting the incredible Oregon Coast. Nothing quite like it!

This weekend my Studio D'artisan SD-101s had to get on the John Deere and clean up after high winds (tornadoes in the area). Luckily, all humans and animals are fine and the house received no damage.

Good point Julian, hadn't considered applying those. Another point I should've mentioned is that I've also been considering the JM Weston 180 loafer in beechnut suede. The JM Weston seem a bit more dressy and my style is more casual, but I saw some in person in Paris and they were really well made.

@rbeck, thanks. I’ve been cycling pretty much all my life and for a long time taught about that would be cool to make one. But it was never on my radar where and how it was done. until I bought a frame from a builder who builds in his shed. when I saw that , I realized it was something you can do. You don’t need a factory. so I dove into it, and found the bicycle academy, did a two week course there.during those two weeks I build my first frame under their guidance. when I came home I found a workshop place(moved twice, by now) and hoarded a lot of tools. It’s been 5 yrs now

My Csf WW2 got a regular wash and made the jerky patch fall to pieces so l removed the rest. Nice roping thanks to @Mr Black skills at hemming on the old Union special. Been wearing these and my WH 1922s for a while but now it seems like shorts weather until September so my Csf will get put away until then. (Edit) sorry about the crap pic quality, not my intention.
