heading to new york in a few hours! first time in the city. got a meeting with Andrew at 3sixteen/self edge monday and looking forward to checking out the shop. bringing my iron hearts and my trusty dry bones for the trip.

Canadian 1 yr meet up anyone ??

I'm down for a Canadian meet. My old legs are way out of school so whenever. Don't get to Montreal too often.

Nigel Cabourn Camerman jacket

Real excited for this to get here! Got it at 25% off retail price.

jealous, where from?

Ah still waiting on two white shirts up here in Canada. I was so hoping they would be here before my New York trip next week. Oh well. Its weird that they get to Europe before Canada.

Last night.

Decided to take some shots of my Iron Hearts 301 overdyes. I treated the leather patch as well. I use this stuff I got from the local Blundstone store. It is mostly tallow with some neatsfoot oil and other waxes and oils. Works pretty well on my boots so I thought it couldn't hurt.

Some nice blue fades coming through on the belt loops.

Wallet marks starting to show and the overdye is almost all gone from the stitching.

I have had my Corter belt for almost a year. I have never oiled or treated in any way. It has been rain and sweat soaked and stood up well.

A little black dye from my Iron Hearts

Added my own buckle and the keep from my last oxblood belt.

I was thinking something more like this with the Flat Head jackets

Maybe it's just the angle of the pictures, but am I the only one that thinks the toe stitching looks a little ragged on those Russells?

the stitching looks pretty uneven to me too. i wouldn't want that after waiting 3 months even if they were in the right colour.

Fit Pic of my 301 overdyes... friggin cold in my store. -20C and the heat stopped working. Blah

Sorry I havent been able to update too much since the bike show. Work has been crazy busy with an upcoming reno of the store. These were sent out to Smittybat and he should be getting them in a couple days.

Yeah they do. Probably don't get good cost pricing. Steven the owner is a friend of mine but I don't think they will be selling much in terms of Iron Heart... On a lighter note (literally lighter in weight) my store is going to be stocking 3sixteen denim this spring.

there are a couple i have seen but not many... you can get 634s and 9634's at serpentine in yorkville, although i know they have only sold a couple pairs.

nice a little local competition....

#18 Canada

Damn, unfortunately i won't be there to meet you. I'm sure our crew there will take good care of you.

Next time I am in SanFran I'll stop by. It is next on my list of places to go. Went when I was a kid and loved the city. My store just put in our first order of 3Sixteen jeans to carry this Spring so I am looking forward to meeting Andrew in person if he is there.

Heading to New York on the 7th. Can't wait top check out SE in person and give my 301 overdyes some New York lovin!

Heading to New York on the 7th for the first time. Can't wait to check out the store in person for once... I have my eye on a Buzz sweatshirt and heavy flannel!

Anyone have any experience with the Sohotel? It seems pretty cheap and nice. They haven't had a bed bug report online that I can find past 2009 but i am pretty cautious because I've been there and don't ever want to experience that again.

Here's a shout out to my favorite webstore in the US besides my own.

mmmmm jerky

I am going to get my Alden Roy boots resoled locally. There is no way I am waiting months to get it done. It will be a lot cheaper locally too. The trick is just finding a reliable cobbler to do it. I am thinking a double leather sole or commando for the resole.

heading to new york in a couple weeks for the first time. staying at the sohotel... any must sees?

david glantz does all my stuff. fantastic for color. not sure about his black and white work though. he is really about the bright colours. he's a buddy of mine so i am biased. his work is really fantastic and he is a cool dude to talk to while you get your work done... plus he has tv's installed in his rooms.

Thanks ajchen, he's pretty good and works quick. His online portfolio doesn't do his work justice at all.

For aftercare etc, I don't have a particular brand but I like the stick rub-on sunblock because it's easy to go over tattoos and leave the non tatted parts. If you have a full sleeve or whatever I'd probably just slather some high SPF one that is very sweat/waterproof.

I read somewhere that spray on sunblock didn't leave a halo around the tattoo you usually get from other sunblocks but I dunno if it's true. I've never tried the spray.

the best advice i ever heard was do what your artists tells you. they all have differing opinions. with regards to sunblock DO NOT get waterproof stuff. That stuff will trap the moisture and not breath well. The only thing I put on my tattoos is lubriderm when it gets really stiff. Other than that I let it heal naturally. For the sun I keep it covered.
