IHBW thats a great fit.

i picked up a duck vest at the sale. the button holes were mistakenly stitched for 5/8" instead of 1" so I'm replacing the 1" buttons with some vintage BSA buttons on it tonight. stoked.

Here is the ranch hand jacket I picked up at the sale. On the fence about the size. Is this too small for me or is the shortness of these types of jackets throwing me off?

The Californians are looking good. Jacket looks like the right size as well.

Did anybody see if they had any decent fabrics for sale last week?

Did anybody see if they had any decent fabrics for sale last week?

not a whole lot when I looked at it. They had a ton of denim, but no selvedge and a lot of it looked like it was a cotton/mix.

I got a few yards of some duck and cotton for pocket bags. plus a ton of thread.

[rnrswitch]

I've got a indigo duck vest in size medium for sale. Worn once by Michael Harris (the denim hunter), but unfortunately too big for me. Looking for $125 plus shipping.

[lefty]

I'll take it. PM sent.

[roy6]

IHBW- that fits great. Looks to be plenty of room in the back for you to stretch your arms, cuffs sit well, waist looks fine. Just a shorter cut jacket, like the 506.

i tried on all of their jeans as i was very interested in their replicas of historical cuts and styles.

i ended up buying this style (Blacksmith):

Well folks, I just can't seem to get myself into one of the Ranch Jackets, well not one that fits and the disappointment has given my dog diarrhea. I've just taken receipt of this size M and it is too small. I could take pictures to illustrate the fit but I am having some trouble dealing with a recent present from the Beard Fairy and am embarrassed to show my face. Trade for a size L or sell for what I paid, $250 shipped. I figured I could give y'all the opportunity before I put it in the supermarket.

[wgmds]

i'm very upset about wanting other things. fucking shit. if i can get my funds up, i will give you a pm asap!

[SLAB]

too bad u are not in need of a small or we could have traded; in case anyone is interested, I also have a new ranch hand duck jacket for sale (small) for 215$ + shipping.

Well, just because we can't make a trade due to size doesn't mean that you shouldn't take my size M off my hands so that I may track down a size L. I have been watching your, and am stunned that it has not sold, I would buy it for my girlfriend, but we cannot be walking around in the same jacket. we already wear similar jeans and I have been stocking her up on boots that I like.

Rising Sun Blacksmiths 1 year

1 rinse, 1 trip in the pacfic, 1 wash

[rnrswitch]

Headed down to Rising Sun yesterday and met up with Mike Hodis to get situated on some custom Blacksmiths for me. They have some beautiful unsanforized loomstate 15oz chunky denim. A bit over the top compared to some of the more tame denim that Rising Sun uses. It jumped out at me though.

I also picked out some different hardware. They have some really cool 4 eyelet sew on buttons that are covered in black enamel. I got those for the suspender buttons.

I wish I would have taken my camera, because their new place is really cool. It is set up like an old dry goods market and there is plenty of space for the tailors to work as well.

[Happy Hooligan]

Can't wait to see those! Looks great Flat! I think a pair of blacksmiths will be my next purchase from them... after the left field gets going...

[flatpattern]

wow nice can't wait to see those blacksmiths in unsanforized. everytime I wear them I get asked who made them.

[onehundy]

How much did they run you, if you don't mind me asking.

[rnrswitch]

The custom blacksmiths run $600. I got a gift certificate for xmas for a portion of it, so it didn't hit my pocket book too bad.

fixed - sorry, I'm on vacation in Mexico with little internet access...

[hollowsleather]

Thanks for fixing the pictures, they're awesome. I think I like every single thing that RS makes.

[zissou]

RNR- I bet that's gonna look like PBJ. Super slubby!

[Foxy2]

Question: what's the consent on shrinkage/stretch for a pair of Blacksmith in Rising Sun's Cone Mill's denim (raw & sanforized)?

[flatpattern]

Mine didn't shrink much at all, mine are sanforized, they stretch about an inch.
