Not really in keeping with the styles on here but... I bought these Visvim Laramie Folk 5+ years ago for a summer break that never happened... worn only a few times... and they have lived in their shoe bag, in the box ever since Seems a waste... if you're interested, DM me

Haha forgive me Duke... I get giddy on Fridays...

@bartlebyyphonics TCBs taking shape nicely there @Duke Mantee excellent triple Dylans... I couldn't help but think of the question 'what do you call a Scotsman in a suit?' I was going to say the acquitted but you don't look that happy mate

^ the spitting image Reminds me of Father Ted

@Toegun all good mate... I'm happy with the 5 as got plenty of room... yep agreed that inlay is spot on

Joined the type 900 club... lovely jacket living up to high expectations Opted for a size 5 for a roomier fit after trying both the 4 and 5 at home in a chore jacket showdown. In reality, a 6 would have done the trick too but I think @Toegun had snagged that. Plan to wear over the colder period so have left space for layers. The jacket feels cozy with the liner trapping pockets of air adding to the insulation. Happy days

That’s what his message said. I sent him the picture from the book so let’s see if he confirms. Page 24/25 in the book has a 1922 model as you describe, with flapless pointed pocket, positioned low with pocket top parallel to the second lowest button

@Jared_Lee excellent... coincidentally we watched Rocky 1 last night... would love to run up them steps and hold hands aloft at the top!

I sent Konaka San a picture of my jacket... he responded saying he's making a 1922 model. I sent him the 1922 picture from the book to check... would post a pic if I had decent light... interesting

@Flash excellent stuff... would really like a pair of Connors at some point... attempts thus far have failed on the waist:hip ratio for the model... that's before even getting in the queue

Thanks for the kind words gents... must say the CSF work is top notch... which is what the OGs here have been saying for years... and tis true In adopted Yorkshire spirit, I've said to the family I'm more than happy to put the heating on when it drops below 10C (in the house)... until then it's jackets, hats and star jumps...

@Dr_Heech thanks... them elbow 'I'm thinking' fades are the giveaway... will have to dial down the desk wear to avoid holes!

^ ha thanks for the thumbs up emoji Lockdown home and desk warrior fades... one of them rare covid wins...

@Bobbo excellent pick up, surely worthy of a big grin next time

Back pics...

I don't want Flash feeling lonely on this thread... About 18 months in. Washed at the start and at about 13 months. Will probably wait until 2 years for the next wash unless events dictate otherwise. However open to opinions. Front pics first...

@Maynard Friedman yes to Joyce

@darkstar73 some good looking boots there!

Fixed that for you

^ you tell him Duke... imagine if we all said that?!

^ I chanced upon that cosmic site a while back and keep returning. All write ups, yours firmly included, point to solid reliable boots and they look really good too. I was thinking down the High Grade US Standard duck jacket route with them too, hunter cosplay Yep they don't make them Redwing moc soles like wot they used to. The new ones have flyaway soles by comparison to an old dense-soled pair I've got. Profits thru multiple buy business strategy over quality and robustness tut tut...

^^ no idea what Kevin Rowland is saying but I like it!
