  1. Holy shit this is a dope thread, yo klue those raw veg tanners look great! I was just thinking I love veg tanned leather, it's like the raw denim of leather. I was thinkin you could make one of those veg tanned leather jackets for me, I'm coming up soon Thursday for repairs!

  2. To get the really nice honeycombs, try keeping your knees bent during the hot soak and after as the creases will set better leaving some really nice fades. I have done this and it works great.

    Sorry for being annoying but today is largely dedicated to

    neglected fit pics. These I just purchased from

    ah_long, Sz31, S510XX-24OZ . As you would expect,

    the man gave me a smashing deal and I received them

    ridiculously quickly. The denim on these dance a fine

    balance between insane toughness, thickness and yes--

    even smoothness. They're very, very comfy. Can't wait to

    start wearing these...post wash/dry, I believe these

    would be 27-oz. ah_long soaked these once, I'll do

    the usual of hot wash/hot tumble dry before wearing them

    for real. Unfortunately, I'm not a motorcycle courier like

    evilcrayon...I probably don't deserve these and my

    evo will be totally lame, but oh well...

  3. I like heavyweight denim for it's novelty factor, but I have to agree it is amazing for berry picking. Plus it's so warm and cozy and mosquito proof too. If you don't have a pair of heavy weight denim, just put on two pairs of jeans(one smaller size) and the bigger pair on top, that works great too

  4. I bet he would also think ancient unsymetrical Korean or Japanese pottery looks like bad or poor workmanship too! Would you rather have the cookie cutter look?

    QUOTE=thedoad;2837014]His opinion was that they look like shit. Get over it. Pretty simple man.

    Setterman was far more eloquent in summing it up but "Looks like shit" is a lot easier to type.

  5. Wow, those look nice, an excellent fit too. I hear the fabric darkens over time.

    Some custom persimmons the talented folks at Hartford did for me:

  6. Self Edge and HPA are the only BR dealers in the US and neither of us carry the tees.

    Hey, I just wanted to set the record straight that The Hartford Denim Company also sells Buzz Rickson.
