Thanks Doc

Honey I shrunk the fanny pack About 2/3 of the version above - Walpier Buttero and Walpier Box leathers, AustriAlpin ‘Cobra’ hardware, Japanese twill lining and a drawstring bag with the remnants of the fabric

He’s a good guy - but he’s cycled through some amount of clothing. Items seem to be getting sold weeks after purchase 🤷‍♂️

Most patches are ‘designed’ fit some shrinkage … ie it’ll be fine when you follow washing instructions (40°C would be the upper normal) I boil washed (90°C) the bootleggers denim jacket and the leather shrank to about 2/3 size. Leather isn’t a woven material and depending on the tannage has the potential to shrink enormously.

Steamrollers left - someone must be wise enough to snap these up

Sorry mate - they’ve sold

Remind me your waist size please?

These are ancient mate - the tag says they could be 2002 (although the same number was used right up to 2009) but effectively you’re delving into the genesis of Bootleggers after the Toys McCoys departure They are somewhere between the 47s and 51s in fit

I’m actually surprised there’s no interest (so far) in the Steamrollers and USN Work Trousers. The Steamrollers are brilliantly made and the USN trews are one of the best repros I’ve seen. Both from when FW really focused on making the factories work for their money

… and the Steamrollers - size 32x34. 10oz denim - washed, never worn

Here’s the 43s - size 33x34, washed never worn SOLD

USN Work Trousers SOLD

Bootleggers Reunion jeans SOLD

Vintage steel buckle, brass hardware, cobra and moonstone

Wonderful news @beautiful_FrEaK

A brace of braces. Walpier Buttero, solid brass (and nickel plated solid brass), heavyweight elastic

Too tight

I did what I could with the remnants from the mammoth skin after I made my thong (even though the trunk was too short)

It was shite - everything I owned was too loose, too tight, loo long or too short.

Aye sorry Doc - sewing threads are different colours … still non-factory standard though (probably Gütermann)

Absolutely bang on. They wore what they had. Too loose, too tight, loo long or too short. Overall and coverall has quite a different meaning today.
