  2. Speaking of Arrow Mocs… Picked this up on eBay last week, really pleased with it
  3. Was getting really tired of the cotter pins pulling through on my jeans + jacket (lost one fancy button and had at least a couple very close calls)—and, besides, it only seemed like a matter of time before the one on the jeans started poking holes in my tucked shirts—so I bought a bag of 1/2” brass key rings to use in stead They seem to work well and they’re not too eye grabbing when the jacket’s open, would def. recommend for one and all
  4. Model number looks right. These were the predecessors to the SC40401, no? Very cool find, still hoping to pick up a pair of those at some point (too bad those are hemmed short)

    Thanks Duke. Gonna have to be a pass from me after all—seems right up my alley, but I convinced myself I really don’t need any more belts right now. I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding them all good homes

    What's the width & thickness? Might be interested in the medium brown one, you're right that it's a beautiful buckle
  8. I wouldn’t read too much into it. All the email does is acknowledge something that unambiguously happened. They don’t come anywhere close, in the email, to making a judgment call one way or the other, and they have a long history of using seemingly random occasions as (tenuous) excuses to have little sales. Out of curiosity, what issue do you take with it, personally?

  10. Glad you decided to grab some. The nibi-iro and kenbourguro-iro were my two most recent pickups, too (both as 175 cm Henley necked short sleeve tees) and they’re fantastic, somehow simultaneously simple greyscale and deep green–blue–brown. You’re right to call them both dull and deep. Jonathan, who I guess handles their international orders & English-language communication, is the same that many here will know from his Banana Almanac fame, and more recently from Two Ears Brand + Ooe’s One Ear Brand. He does a great job answering all sorts of questions etc
  11. Big patches on the seat + crotch, plus some shots of the finished product
  12. They do, especially the style of stitching—but I don't think I've ever seen Arrow use such thin / light leather?
  13. ^ If they are Russells, they’re either custom or from a while ago. I don’t think any of their recent stock chukkas have shipped with soft leather soles.
  14. Others’ll know better, but as far as I’m aware the Neil Cassidy is the only shirt that any of the Freewheelers brands consistently makes every year
  15. Size 4 jeans (at least those made from the standard denim) should have around a 36” waist
  16. ^ Top notch all around I just picked up a half yard of some really beautiful light indigo ramie from Buaisou, no idea what I’m going to do with it but I’m looking forward Tilley / Joe McCoy’s / Great Lakes / Cane’s / Russell
  17. & the back pocket, patched + lined with some old plain weave raw hemp (also added backing to the main leg panel where it was starting to wear through) Forgot to take a final photo from the outside…stay tuned for when the rest is done, I guess
  18. Leg of @shredwin_206’s S601xx Patch is leftover from a roll end I bought a long time ago @ the local discount fabric place, feels identical to the standard rigid Wrangler denim
  19. Union Special / Tender Co. / Tezomeya / Hollows / old Cane’s / Russell
  20. Spent the second half of this week dyeing baby clothes for a new niece. They’re all cotton. I don’t often dye with cellulose fibers because it’s such an extra hassle—but the flip side of this is that, when I do, I tend to throw as much in there as I can Had a cotton bandana laying around for who knows how long (I think it shipped w/ something or other from the Trestle Shop)…now it’s pink Tannic acid -> alum + lots of soda ash -> ground cochineal
  21. @shredwin_206’s S601xx looking reallll good before a round of repairs
  22. Tilley / Bubo / Hollows / The Vanishing West / JK
  23. Tilley / Union Special / Hollows / Cane’s / Frank’s
  24. Is the mock moc stitching on the machine sewn version even some transverse to the leather, or is it just two rows of straight stitching right through to the inside (mock mock moc)? Either way they look great on you
