  1. I’ve posted how the catalog numbers work before - but without checking, and without asking if things have changed my only reaction to that number is that it is fake

    @engine your braided belts are top class - I try to keep with you on IG

    Belts

    J&FJ Baker oak tan bridle, brass hardware, vintage glass
  5. If it’s just the forearms that are the issue, going up a collar size isn’t going to fix much
  6. Yeah - this Western cut is a slightly slimmer cut shirt. Well as I said I’ve both denim and (red) flannel in a 17
  7. I’ve got the Jesse in both denim and flannel - everything is for sale as I’ve said
  8. Digging a hole for yourself now … Will I throw you another shovel? 😂
  9. I think this brand has popped up in the ‘unknown’ brands thread - probably more deserving of this dedicated corner. Clutch stock a little bit - they had more but it doesn’t look like they’ve restocked https://clutch-cafe.com/collections/belafonte Similar with EastWest Apparel https://eastwestapparel.co.uk/shop/browse/brand/belafonte-ragtime-clothing/ I quite like the look of their Hammeralls denim

    More of the Walpier Buttero Rocky with multiple stud finishes and vintage glass - a whale fluke crashing through a sunlit ocean
  11. Here’s the reference bag … which does not use CF Stead Repello nor is it hand made https://www.printemps.com/uk/en/jerome-dreyfuss-leon-m-leather-tote-bag-brown-women-7940848?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgdayBhBQEiwAXhMxtucbjs_OYUh4kzfIGz66uYddb4ds7n0KZXLqWSpXhHxQJtnRsDvaohoCEGQQAvD_BwE#5083802
  12. CF Stead Repello Calf backed with Russet (Crust) Calfskin finished with Horween CXL Staps and binding and solid brass rivets and snaps
  13. Exactly so - if the top block of a pair of 22s is bigger than a pair of 51s, I’m not going to size down looking to transform them into the same ‘fit’. Everyone has their own approach but I am truly baffled by the endless queries around how 5mm makes a difference 🤷‍♂️
  14. Jeans being waist overalls until the 60s Finding the perfect fit now basically results in buying denims with such particular dimensions it nullifies the cut / pattern
  15. The measurements will be different ‘pulled’ - that being the reason I asked, and unless you wear your denims very loose then I believe it’s necessary to acknowledge the full dimensions since that’s how they’ll fit your waist. I’ve posted many times previously on this … I’ve ALWAYS found FW to meet tag size, but clearly there are multiple methods of measurement.

    Belts

    This is by far the thickest belt I’ve decorated - J&FJ Baker oak tanned bridle @ nearly 15oz, with ultra heavy solid brass buckle, brass hardware, cobra overlays, onyx and tiger eye gemstones, and antique Japanese coin
  17. I measure with the denims pulled tight across the waist
  18. I’ve never had (or heard of) a pair of FW denims shrink like that - over 2 inches?! Wow
