JD on Letterman last night also with a 30's/40's jacket that sold on eBay at the beginning of October.

Just completed another 9oz cowhide belt with hair on hide insets for a buddy.

I posted the details on my blog

^Very Nice!

^ Whenever I pick up my second pair of RC's, I'm going with an 8 to allow fore that extra little room to ensure I get the flattened flat toe.

Hajduk, good luck on the Beck engineer Boots - those look great!!

Baldy, perhaps Road Champ owners can chime in on their measurments. Here are mine:

Edit: Usual size 8D. Thanks rayw44!!

Measurements:

Size: 7 1/2

Heel to toe (with heel against wall): 11 1/4"

Width (at the widest points of the ball area): 4 1/8"

Height: 12"

Heel Height: 1 5/8" (highest), 7/8" (lowest)

*New measurments to follow when I get them back from the shop.

Here's a size 11:

Size: 11

Heel to toe (with heel against wall): 12 3/8"

Width (at the widest points of the ball area): 4 3/8"

Part 3 is out...

Fardin - they checked out a few things, but we just kinda hung out.

^Amazing! Can't wait 'til mine look like that.

Minimalist cordovan and black card wallets I made for myself.

Studded trucker wallet as a gift for one of my Marines transfering to Texas.

I'm looking for a Salt N Pepper work shirt made in the US. Anyone have any ideas on a nice one? I want the Buzz Rickson version, but it might be a tad long and is not made in the US. (this will be my fall back choice however)

Thanks in advance to any ideas!

There you have it - the new MF chambrays are designed and manufactured in California. No S&P, but the black might as well be...the weave gives it the appearance. The price is a welcome surprise, too.

^If you don't find anything here, you might have some luck in the below thread if you haven't already checked.

Cheers!

^I'm with you on that one. Is it crazy of me to want to pickup the white utility shirt when I already have the white mechanic shirt? Does anyone know if they are much too similar?

Yeah, I thought is seemed pretty odd that three different sellers were selling like items concurrently.

Killer!!

What's with all the white chambrays in the auction...was there a huge sale somewhere?

Spent some time with Tadashi and Shogo of Lightning Magazine at my house yesterday and Shogo had the most KILLER chore coat with brown leather trim. Shoulda asked him what and where.

This is my current prototype wallet. I made it with a "workwear" flaire - 30's style ball/chain grommet zipper, and corduroy.

I concur with Rivet Head. You may have a hard time looking for something made here...esp these days.

^Kinda weird, but my wife brought those jeans home from Target whilst picking up essential home items. She just saw the redlines and thought she'd pick 'em up. They are the All Star brand and were $39.00. I kinda like the red chainstitching.

^Coleslawyum - yeah, I'll continue to do giveaways on my blog, but I'll keep it small just because some people tend to be ungreatful. I was going to give away VLV tickets recently, but decided against it cause I'm sure they'd end up on eBay or something. No word on my boots yet :\ I can't wait. Yeah, these are going to Zip.

wgmds, yes, that' the plain black.

I hear ya on the buckles. I have a box full of custom Okuyama buckles, so I just have to decide which ones to use. I gave a set away to some guy on here but I never got so much as an email saying thanks or even acknowledging they arrived. Was going to give some away on my blog, but decided against it after that.

Irony: Finding out this upsetting news on my iPad2 :\

Contemplating getting these boots resoled
