Walpier Buttero Rocky leather and a billet welded (modern damascus) stainless steel buckle … which regardless of taste is probably the best made buckle I’ve ever used

Thanks buddy - the owner gave me some rough sketches and it got developed from there. Shows that a belt doesn’t have to conform to rigid guidelines

Sun and moon - definitely one of the most imaginative designs I’ve been tasked with. Wickett & Craig bridle, Japanese brass buckle with chemical treatment, brass and nickel hardware with yellow chalcedony and blue lace agate gemstones

Sorry to hear that @shredwin_206

I’ve found non-wash FW denim always shrinks to tag size after a good soak in warm~hot water, then a machine wash (or two) … normally I machine wash at 40°C However, sometimes I’ve skipped the soak and put them straight into the washing machine - turned out the same, again after a couple of wash cycles

That kind of humour gives me paws for thought

… and the matching belt

When we were very little we (as a family) were visiting a friend of my mum. They had a Border Terrier that was a never trained and a bad tempered thing. My sister was about 3 or 4 and came out of the kitchen with a biscuit (for herself) and it ran over to her to get it, she pulled her hand away and it snapped at her and bit her face. Without a word, my dad picked the dog up by the throat, took it out the room and broke its neck. We never went back to that house.

All waist and shoulders

So anything really? Maybe you could try some of the english gentlemen’s attire shops like Cordings? https://www.cordings.co.uk/menswear/accessories/scarves

What material? That’s probably the main aspect

Gotcha … yeah they’ve never followed that pattern. Some years there’s denim (and could be lots of it) to absolutely nothing. Same with sweats, and so on ..

Bit late I guess, but (and it’s been a while) SC I’ve always found be reliable and consistent in sizing. I remember way back comparing to FW and as others have said they are very similar … perhaps just a touch smaller than FW, and that could be pattern as much as anything Warehouse on the other hand are nearly always about a half to one size smaller than FW in my experience

?

No denim in the upcoming season except what might be included in the permanent collection

I appreciated the thought and the opportunity Neal Describing those purple accents on the setup shouldn’t work in my mind but seeing it proves how good it does look

Both Filson and BdC are overpriced. BdC sell with their ‘artisan’ story to allow you to believe things are handmade, and Filson who are ‘rugged’ I’ve got a small Filson hold-all. Whoever made it had their eyes shut when they did, but the materials are so robust it has lasted despite being crude.

Do you find Filson expensive compared to Bleu de Chauffe because Filson is canvas? I think BdC bags are fairly expensive for machine stitched non-specified leather (albeit I don’t doubt it’ll be decent quality being veg tan)

Thank you very much - I guess leather is leather regardless of the shape or application. Not much difference from a belt to a bag strap to these. And yes, that little hole is there for exactly the reason you’ve stated. Probably not necessary but there’s no reason for a shortcut
