Duke Mantee

Those shoes/clogs concern me more

Honestly? The original denim is the best … there’s been a couple of tweaks and some different amounts of dye but my old denims look vintage to me so that’s all I can ask

Doesn’t it though?

I ate this in the place it was invented - it’s far and away the best ‘cheesecake’ I’ve ever eaten, and I don’t just mean the original. It’s so easy to make and very very tasty - make a simple fruit sauce for it (raspberries and blackberries, sugar and water) or, even better, have a glass of PX sherry

I walk the fine line of saying to the Duchess ‘no your bum does not look big in that’ to defending why I bake less (which has nothing to do with butt size obviously) so anyways I made Tarta de Queso (Burnt Cheescake)

51 and 47 are the same denim - different dyeing S601 is different denim 37 is yet another denim

This

Thanks mate - really very much appreciated

For a skull fanatic on IG - 9oz Walpier Buttero Rocky with distressed nickel plated brass buckle and matching screws, vintage steel hardware, Jet gemstones and silver pewter skull conchos

Thank you - styles can be a bit limited given the space so it’s nice to get a bit of expression

A ‘Woodstock’ belt made from 9oz bridle leather for @sparecutter on IG - the lettering is bookended by starbursts with chinese turquoise gemstones in the centre

Nice job on the handles and rolled edges

And the last - for today at least … a 3rd belt for my pal @Broark He took a liking to a Warehouse suede belt, which (in true Fast Show style) was nice, but this is roughout (has grain) not suede (has no grain) and has a wee bonus silver coin

One for a friend of a friend … the mighty Rob Peru on IG. This is a 12oz (5mm thick) harness leather with a solid brass buckle I’ve stripped back and rubbed down to give it a matte finish … both leather and brass will patina quite significantly - oh and held together with solid copper saddlers rivets

… and a third for @Low Key - simple affair in russet 9-11oz harness (1 ¾” width) with a nickel plated Japanese brass buckle and matching chicago screws
