If ever there were a more perfect outfit for black and white, idk what it would be.
ReLove 812 I scored off the last drop! I had no idea how good these were until I got ‘em in hand. Wow! Today’s high was 92° and I’m right as rain. In person, the warm silver tone of the sterling snap (thanks, UK crew!) against the creamy white hue of the herringbone is…. I believe the Italian word for it is 🤌.
Caught you looking.
888od and some hickory today for this trade show build.
The wife had to cover our indigo quota tonight.
I think I might have to hem the bottom of that 420. Short guy problems.

Rodeo day 2, but my first day with the 633 XHS. This 25oz is no joke! Took them out of the box, threw them on, and headed out of the door.
Also day 1 with the IHSH-246 natural. Shoutout to Self Edge for having 1 random xxl in stock. The brighter blue color is gorgeous! Might should’ve waited for an XL. Oh well.
Decided to make shorts from this eBay score. Should I do the other leg, or is this a cool look?
Day 2 in the 812 coming to you straight from the garden.
Had to do the shorts mod. These Texas summers ain’t no joke! I decided on an 8” inseam, and dusted off my rusty sewing skills.
@Mizmazzle They are perfect!! What length did you wind up going with?
@Johnnyutah247 I’m at 10 in sneakers. I take a 9m/43 standard width in Arizonas.
I like my foot to fit snugly into the footbed and the leather vamp to be tight. The leather starts snug but stretches a lot, so I usually wind up tightening the strap after the first couple of weeks.
@Chibs That’s a great example of why we all prefer companies with good customer service over ones that do everything “perfectly.”
Yours does look pretty damn amazing! I’m jealous. I’ve been wanting the 4A version for a long time.
For the most part leather is leather. Alligator doesn’t need anything special. I use the neatsfoot oil from redwing on my gator boots. I’ve also used mink oil. Obenauf's should be fine, but it’s wax based. Personally I try not to add any wax to my leather unless I’m purposefully trying to waterproof it. Wax clogs the pores which makes the leather less breathable and makes it feel hotter to wear. I also believe it’s better for the leather to let it breathe. But that’s just my opinion.
@Oaktavia Broooooooo! These are wild!! Hornback gator tail is my guess? Keep them puppies well conditioned.
Couldn't agree more. It's a perfect mix of a comfortable-from-the-start shirt that also feels substantial and rugged. On day one it feels like your most well broken in denim shirt. I actually starched the heck out of the collar just to give it some structure.
@Chibs Congrats! Looks great, and always nice to hear about solid customer service!
My understanding with all GAH bracelets is that the measurements are supposed to be your actual wrist measurements, not the size you would like your bracelet to be. The needed additional length for appropriate droop is factored in by GAH. This is why their product pages list measurements as "wrist size" and not bracelet size. You could translate this as "choose this size if you have a 17cm wrist."
@ShopatIronHeart I'm debating these. Is there ANY chance we might see an XHS 1955 in the next year? If so, that would factor in heavily. The 888 is my next best fit after the 1955, but my calves struggle with the taper.
