How'd you keep it indigo-free? Just wear other pants?

[No -]

Thanks for the comment

I've been wearing 5000BKs since September and only wear my PBJs at max 2x/week. They don't really bleed..

This is how my kids RM edition looked when fresh

Worn for about 6 or 7 months...

[No -]

Any tanning/oil-ing? Looks nice!

[beatle]

Oiled....tanned for about 5 hours....the rest is just wear...

[watchman]

that looks great beatle, i thought about getting one but suspected it would be too small. Now i'm kind of regretting it haha

[eldave04]

Looks good beatle and No $.

How big is that kids rm relative to the standard hr-01a? Does all of it fit in your backpocket?

[No -]

I think the site says it's 11x7cm..

That actually looks really cool with the indigo stains.

[watchman]

That redmoon bag looks really nice. A really high quality leather bag is definitely on my list of things to purchase, but more of a duffle than a messenger.

Also, would oiling my RRC be advisable? It is stained so I haven't tanned it at all, so I don't know if the leather is really dry enough to need it. Recommendations?

Just got this in today, can't wait to start tanning it when the sun actually comes out.

Same one but no hole.

Tanned and treated with Obenaufs:

It's beautiful now.

The difference is amazing!! Looks good!!

[Dick Danger]

Not really after, more like during.

[dave023]

Mr Danger, how would you compare the quality of your Last crops and Red moon?thank you

[Dick Danger]

Both are very nice, I can't imagine that either will fall apart any time soon. The Red Moon leather is thicker and it feels better to the touch, hard to explain but sitting in a dark and stroking it is a nice way to pass time. I like the card pockets of the Spanker and it doesn't have a pocket shredding button on it. I'm probably going to retire the Red Moon once the contest is over.

Thank you. I'm considering the LC Spanker 2 as a more classic wallet, and was wondering where the price different may come from?

[Dick Danger]

I'm not really sure. In another thread someone said Albuquerque stopped selling Wild Swans because Last Crops was better quality. Could be true, but I really like the leather in the Flicker 2 I have.
