    Belts

    Slim Wickett & Craig ‘double stuffed’ (harness) leather with nickel plated brass buckle and copper saddlers rivets
  8. Sedgwick bridle leather shell and La Bretagna pecos interior with suede lining in the zipper section Another one off to Japan - this time a replica (hopefully), rather than a variation of this …
  9. Freewheelers Brakeman - hand buffered - size 40 DM me for serious consideration
  10. I’ve always wondered if you buy a ’luxury’ car you get automatic exemption from the Highway Code and traffic laws generally … we’ve got a disability badge for Ellie and it seems we can’t use any of the designated parking spaces because they seem to be full of top end motors
  11. … and probably just as warm, but why are you SHOUTING?
  12. I think we need to get the expert opinion of @Double 0 Soul for this
  13. I know it’s not the most popular approach but I always take the same size even when the waist is a little bigger (or smaller) - I’ve found that the small variations just reflect the cut, rather than trying to shoehorn every pair of jeans (and trousers) into finding the ‘perfect’ size/fit.
  14. … and we never even bothered taking the bladder out of the sheep

    Belts

    J&FJ Baker oak tanned bridle overdyed and solid brass buckle given a custom patina to ‘match’ the the antique brass studs. This was probably the most demanding studwork of any belt I’ve made on two counts - number of studs and the the accuracy needed for the repeat pattern which consists of 4 panels of a Celtic knot, a Celtic cross and custom lettering styles:
  16. Even more pleonasm: … pure virgin Harris Tweed Evergreen plaid wool weaved in Scotland for Black Bear Brand If it’s Harris tweed it must be pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides - not just Scotland generally and the rest of the description is redundant (although there aren’t many virgin sheep up that neck of the woods 😏) Oh - and it’s fucking ‘woven’ not ‘weaved’
  17. Cheers - I really didn’t need the detail but I thought it would be an interesting pic.
  18. It’s the shape of the embossing that made me think the Horween Muskeg Aberdeen … and then it’s also another US firm so cost effective
