Are the measurements on the old lightweight IH shirts the same as on the SH-22?..

[Giles]

Middle'un.

Seul, this is the IHSH-19 Shaggy Check Western Shirt.

[Seul]

Might be picking up the orange then… Seeing as IHSH-22 in S fits me perfectly. And seeing as how I'm doing some proxy thing for the lad, he might make me 'nice price for you friend'!..  ::)

[LandoCal126 0]

Hahaha! I have the Orange and Blue and have worn the Green. They are all really nice and comfortable!

[Seul]

Yeah that blue'un simply looks RAF (raw as fuck).

Keeping an eye out for one of those… Or to stay on topic: anyone know where I possibly can get one?..

Anyone knows if unlucky from styleforum has any website or anything? And is there any means of contacting him? I'm quite interested in getting a FH repro wallet.

Have you concidered leather goods connection ?

No website, his email address is s_willis@rocketmail.com. To be honest, you're probably better off going through Corter or Obigood and contacting them about it.. I had an Unlucky wallet and I was pretty underwhelmed by it.

What's wrong with it?

Ive just had a look at the wallet in the link and i can see why you would be underwhelmed.

The stitching looks very poor!

its handmade!

[Seul]

That doesn't justify poor craftsmanship.

[Giles]

I've got to agree with Seul.  Take a look at any of the TFW Wallets and any of the IH wallets and examine the stitching on them, and they're hand made too, here's an example:

That's stitching…...

About a year ago i saw some stuff off on styleforum ppl ordered and it looked pretty crude but a FH wallet repro costed only 60 bucks. you get what you pay for

Stitching isn't the best, the wallet laid weirdly when folded like one side was crooked or something.. It developed a strange patina, the leather he used seemed kind of low quality so the patina ended up looking more like dirty cow stretch marks..

Nicholas (Hollow's Leather) does some great work… Used to have some of his handmade leathers... His stitching used to be a bit iffy, but is really top notch these days!..
