I am really thinking about going for some 1890 501's! I have the 1901's (with incorrect leather patch) but I put on a bit of weight a couple of years ago and cant seem to shake it! lol. I want to go for a real vintage look and really like how the single pocket looks! what are your opinions of them and if any of you have some pictures you want to post up that would be cool too.

these are a couple of years old now and are starting to need a few repairs, washed whenever needed.

Just to let you guys know I have put my Saddleback leather large classic briefcase in tobacco up for sale on eBay! (ends today). I just stopped using it unfortunately.

I love the fit of that jacket mate! Is that selvedge along the bottom hem? looks cool.

burgundy waxed cotton laces looking good!

The patch is not leather mate, it's a type of cardboard. I don't think there is anything you can do about the crack but I wouldn't worry about it as most vintage levis patches are cracked or missing and if they are leather they are usually miss shaped and all jerky like.

They certainly look the part, I would guess that they are either real or they are LVC with inside tags removed? I'm no expert though. would you say that the stitching is cotton or poly/cotton?

I recently had my 1000 miles resoled and had a similar problem in the left boot at the outside edge of the toes, I "kneaded" the area with my fingers for a couple of minutes and then wore them for the rest of the day and they were fine! you could give that a go before you give up hope completely.

The Saddleback looks fantastic. What do you condition the leather with?

Thank you. I have never conditioned that bag as I have only owned it for a year or so, but when I do I expect I will use leatherique like I do on most leather items.

Getting my summer jeans ready as the weather is really starting to look good in London...

LVC 1901 501 and some nudie regular ralfs with selvedge on the outside of the watch pocket and silver rivets that I found buried in my wardrobe (I had honestly forgoten that they existed!!)

Hey erase, I don't wear shirts that often and when I do I don't tuck them in so I cant really comment on that front, I have to say that I am quite happy with the quality though. The first thing I remember liking about hollows belts was this buckle! I have since seen the same buckle show up on plenty of belts available on etsy so I guess it is pretty generic these days. I may well get one of Nicholas's wallets when (if!!) my Voyej wallet gives up the ghost though.

hollows leather belt, I think I have had this for well over a year now! I honestly don't understand how some of you get your natural veg tan belts to look so old after only a years use, must be the lack of any sunny weather here in blighty!! 

before and after my home brew crouch repair...

after the wash...

I much prefer a vintage style fade! those look really nice Edmond.

I have just thrown these in the washing machine...

...I will post pics when they are done.

ha ha, they need to be that low profile to allow for the extreme swagger!!

I agree to a certain point, I used to run in minimalist off road running shoes (innov8 talons) but just picked up too many ankle and knee injuries, I now run in Salomon s-lab off road shoes (they only have minimal support but still a bit more than the innov8's!) and I am pretty much injury free. I must add though that I weigh 93kg so that probably makes a big difference in impact.

These were from a month or so ago but I like the action shots so, here you go...

...WW11 cap comforter, LVC 506 jacket, LVC 55 501's and Altberg Bergen boots...

My saddleback leather bags...

S710

...and to give an idea of actual colour...

Samurai S710

I just had these re-soled...

... I think they are beginning to improve with age!
