          Is this the guy behind Flat Head? I recall his face from the Lightning Denim Book. And please answer my question on the Shirt 😉

                  Glace Goat from Whites.....

                  Those are nice, but I'd be worried about durability.  Goat isn't exactly noted for being a tough leather.  Should be really comfortable, though, since goat is thin and soft.  Any idea what the lining is?

                          Went back to TFH for another meeting today.  Had occasion to play with these again and I asked for the spec and actually its Water Buffalo …..

                          TFH over here distribute Whites Boots but told me to just buy them direct from Whites.  I will confirm spec with Whites and then the order will be placed....

                            A lot of restaurants in Japan have plastic models of the food outside.  Many of them have a kanji menu with no pictures.  The solution, take photo on way in and give the waiter the camera…...

                                If you really want to be a tourist there's a street in asakusa with a bunch of shops that sell those models.

                                  There are plenty of stores in Akihabara which sell them, the top floor of Laox electromics used to have loads.

                                    No idea about the footwear applications of goat, but I thought goatskin was considered very tough for leather jackets? Relatively lightweight, tough and lasts well. It's also supposed to be pretty waterproof. It was used on some WW2 A2 jackets, and as far as I'm aware is what the USAF and USN use for their current issue leather jackets. not that that means a lot for footwear though.

                                            i think it's a flathead or strike gold shirt from last fall winter.

                                            leaning towards flathead
