  1. Oh snap, the tricolore-weft is back (https://www.tenderstores.com/product/type-497-open-shoulder-floor-shirt/?variation=33143). I love my shirt in that material (even tho it's just slightly too small for my current weight). Tell Second Sunrise or Maritime Antiques & to pick up some shirts in that material @rodeo bill (sadly import duties makes it slightly too expensive for me to order directly from you right now). Also, will there be other shirts in tricolore?
  2. I actually don't know the exact tannery. A couple of months ago Tatra/shellcordovan had some odd lot horsebutts for a pretty decent deal and I bought two for the heck of it. I used half of the less figured one for this bag, gonna use the real nice one for when I’m comfortable making a real nice pair of boots for myself.
  3. Very nice work @Duke Mantee. Meanwhile I finished this
  4. Businesses should just be open as to how they do things instead of using non defined buzzwords and we're good, I guess. But we all know and understand why that's not gonna happen. As for sewing the uppers, maybe it's just cause I'm not used to ever seeing handsewn ones that makes it easy for me to accept machine sewn ones as handmade. It's also completely a waste of time and energy to handsewn them, nothing practical is really gained from it, while you could argue a saddle stitch does add some longevity to a wallet, bag or belt. Again, no true answer but for me it's a feels thing, and I feel this is correct for me.
  5. I think it's an interesting question where it stops being handmade (with no definitive answer). Belt sander for the heel/soles? Definitely still handmade imo. Sewing machine for the upper? Also OK I think. I'm using bought, machine made linen thread, and some people makes that by hand. It's fun to think about, but also I'm only doing it this way because of what equipment I have, and which parts I find interesting to learn. I'm probably going to look for a cheap sander because finishing the heel is boring as shit.
  6. @chicote thank you, i really appreciate it!
  7. These aren't Clinch, they're King's Boots (kings_boots_cn on Instagram) with his arch support sole thing. Super comfy.
  8. I made a (singular) boot by hand (as in every single stitch and cut and everything) boot to learn stuff. It might not be pretty but it is technically wearable. Still have a lot of cleanup and detail work left.
  9. Got a pair of jodhpurs from kings_boots_cn on Instagram today. They're very nice imo and the fit is great for my short and wide hobbit feet.
  10. My old pair of 125 (just before I'm about to wash them) with my very simple handmade horsebutt belt.
  11. Purse I made that I can't post on Instagram cause it's a birthday gift for my mom.
  12. Attractions I've been wearing for a year or so.
  13. This is the purse I’ve been working on for a bit. There are definitely things to improve, but I’m pretty happy with it.
