Looks great!

Have you washed it yet? 

Nope ..... but I'm looking forward to it 

LGot the vest and im really happy with it , been wanting one for quite a while 

Fits nice and short on the body , as it should because it was ment as a layering piece for under a field jacket 

Really nice condition except for a bit of damage on the back but for an 80 year old vest I think that's OK 

Alpaca is in good nick except for a few balding spots at the bottom 

Zip is a little stiff but im gonna give in a little oil and that should sort it out 

Well pleased all in all 

I really don't get it either , I think its all just an empty threat from Yoshiaki.  I'm guessing he thought he had something ( the items bought at auction ) that not many knew about and when he seen them being published in the ebook he panicked and started babbling about lawers and whatnot to scare denimseeker off , in any case he acted like a dickhead 

Didnt burn anything but i did try to boil the patch on my unworn ww2 pair ( harder that it looks , thing was tough ) 

I toyed with the idea of selling my conners stuff because im disgusted by the way Yoshiaki has reacted but then I realised that there just jeans and just because they were made by an arsehole doesn't mean i still can't enjoy them for what they are ... a pair of jeans . Ill definitely not be buying anything else from him and but I'm still going to enjoy the stuff I have 

Really hope denimseeker can figure something out to release the ebook in some form because from what I've read so far you can see he has put a lot of work into it

I don’t think of my watch as a status symbol. I’ve been wearing it for 38 years, with everything from cut offs to jeans to suits. Every time I look at the watch, I enjoy the view. A little bit of bling, a lot of dependability. I hope your son gets that kind of pleasure from the watch, Flash.

Neither did I , but because I knew next to nothing about it and wasn’t all that interested to learn it just started to felt that way to me . You obviously appreciate a good watch more than me mate 

if nothing else Jack will appreciate the fact that there something that belonged to his grandfather and his dad and maybe one day he can pass them on to his son 

My good mate @Duke Mantee made me this beautiful belt and I thought I'd share some pics , wish I took the pics fresh from the box but I was too excited to get wearing it 

Solid brass hardware and a beautifully soft black leather 

While the leather is soft it definitely feels tough , has a really nice texture 

Everything is super cleanly cut especially the holes 

Thanks mate 

@lance I'm not a watch guy mate , thought I was for a while .... but no . Bought a tutor black bay ( sold it a while back ) and while it was a lovely looking watch I knew nothing about it , nothing about the movement or anything like that so it was basically just a status symbol type thing and I'm not into that . I'll wear this whenever I have to wear a suit ( weddings and funerals ) but other than that this and the other one will be left to Jack 

" hello ..... operator" 

Think my one is from around the same time . This pic is the first and only time I've actually worn it 

( and I wasn't even in court .... ) 

Belonged to my father in law and was gave to me when he passed

If that’s the case then totally fair, I thought it was more so about the product that BoT offers. That’s a bit more of a grey area indeed.
But in the same breath, couldn’t Konaka just say this about anyone making a similar product (war era reproduction jeans)? He certainly doesn’t own that intellectual property. Just a bit of a slippery slope, and to me it seems like he doesn’t want anyone else to have a piece of the vintage repro pie…

Don't necessarily agree with everything here but in the same vein i don't think Yoshiaki is worth defending because of the recent issue 

I haven't got all the details so I probably shouldn't have spoke on that in any detail so ill edit my post 

I heard about this a while back  ( edited ) , stuff like this is a bit more grey and you would need to understand exactly what happened to make a judgement..... the denimseeker thing is plain as day though and Yoshiaki is wrong 

Anyone care to translate ? 

Samsung , maybe justnpushed something by mistake ?? 

Its when I'm using my phone , there is no superdenim button when I'm in a thread , makes you go back to a weird mixup of threads from all the forums 

Has the layout for sufu changed for anyone else ? 

I love my conners items for what they are but after this i have lost a fair bit of respect for konaka san , I always thought they were so engaged in the community and would love to see something like this being done 

Not a good look on Yoshiaki at all 

@Fooleo id contact denimseeker directly before you share the book , im pretty sure he asked that it not to be shared incase it causes more trouble for him

Pm any questions , I always split the cost of shipping 

Any takers ? I'm sure I paid about ¥45000 for it  ...... pretty good deal for £100

@Thanks_M8 No mate there the black pair worn by Kyle Reese in terminator 

The Georgetown hoyas shoe also gets referred to as terminator but I'm not sure why ?? Anyone know ? 

@Double 0 Soul Yeah seen that too , not sure how its gonna shape out 

Well I finally got a pair of ajko's so im happy enough for now 

I'd love a pair of vandal terminators but not willing to pay the prices 

Changing the tab was definitely a big improvement on the early conners imo , the rayon was way too thick and the wrong shade of red 

How do you even get that type of wear on a jacket ??????? Looks awesome mate
