sensy

I somehow got the thought stuck in my head that I'm going to make a pair of shoes. I figured a step in that journey is to learn basic leatherworking, so this weekend I made myself a camera bag, and yesterday I drew up a wallet pattern in Illustrator and I'm pretty pleased with it.

I really wanted the 10 year anniversary jacket, but didn't pull the trigger before they all sold so I was super happy to find a size 3 at Maritime Antiques. This is me wearing it with logwood 129 and the sidings boots. Sadly I did not wear one of my tender shirts today. I also added a piece of the shoelace from the sidings boots as a hanger.

Oooh, when's that vest in the last photo gonna be available?

I'm not used to wearing short jackets, so having a sweater that's longer than the jacket feels weird.

I got my first "real" leather jacket a couple of weeks ago. It's a Simmons Bilt - I saw it on their outlet and the measurements looked close enough and the price was low. I had to have the sleeves shortened a bit cause I forgot to even look at how long they where, and I think I could probably go for a jacket with a smaller chest and waist the next time I buy something from someone. Despite this, I really like wearing it and I guess that's the most important part.

Since I have an "old" (roughly 2 months of wear) and a new pair of Tender 870 Sidings Chukka Boots, I figured I might as well take some fun photos.

I'd just like to give some public thanks to @rodeo bill for his above and beyond customer support. I've had some unlucky issues with a pair of shoes, and he mailed me a replacement pair before even giving me the return address for the old ones. So again, thank you so much for the help. I'm personally an extremely anxious person and felt like shit for complaining, so the fact that you've been so nice and helpful made me feel much better about myself.

PBJ SLB-019. I've had them for a bit more than 7 months, and I've had to do some small repair (the crotch, but also the stitching around the right pocket, and I'm gonna have to somehow fix a large hole in the left pocket but it's in a hard to reach place so I'll have to figure that one out later.

Thanks. Yes they are.
