      Thanks a lot, Michael!.. You're quickly becoming one of my most useful sources on here  😉 😘

      So I should just let the Obenauf polish soak in naturally?.. Guess 48 hours should do… If they become even darker: brilliant!.. They already match perfectly with my superblack gear but hey!..  😃

      So yeah: a spray will definitely not be used, and buffing them was out of the question anyhow!..

        My pleasure mate. I'm guessing you're using the LP, not the Leather Oil? You can use either, but the Leather oil goes on very thick and wet (then evaporates, so it does looks ok) and I usually just use it on shiny finish leather after a coat of LP has had time to bed in. I'd start with a very light coating of LP, to see if you like it, and I always use my fingers to rub in the wax as the heat from your fingers will help it soak in. Try it on a less visible bit first (the heel or lower tongue) to see if you like the effect. When you're done, leave them overnight to let it soak in, then wipe off any excess. If you like the result, you can always slap a load more on!

          Apart from IH, who else makes decent quality flannels? After this years spending my budget wont quite stretch to more IH shirts (unless anyone want an IHW-02 for trade).

            I like the Filson flannels. $85 cheap and basic colors.

                plain long sleeve shitimachi tees gonna happen?

                @Giles:

                Probably, but slowly, slowly catchy monkey….....

                Will these have rib knit cuffs, or is there a chance I can get them with hemmed sleeves?

                  And while I'm on the subject of tees, I don't think I've ever seen a red Iron Heart tee.  Does Haraki just not like red tees?

                        why couldn't they do this shirt without the western yoke on the front & back?

                        shame as i love the fabric choice & buttons, but the western yoke throws her off for me  😠

                              hear me out.

                              i like the flap cause i can put things i don't want to fall out in there.  see my bookies like to hang me upside downn while shaking me down  >:(. it's also good while i'm just chasing any of the days of the week around the house.

                              it's the western flap for me, kills the shirt

                                    A combination of everything.  Western shirt with workshirt pocket.  The other flap pocket, you can keep a pen and everything else secured.  Interesting combination of buttons as well, quasi cats-eye and MOP.

                                      not crazy about the combo buttons, but i can live with that,  it's-the-freckin-yoke, that has stopped me from getting this shirt.

                                      maybe i'll send them an email, worse they can say is f^ck off . . .

                                        Anyone seen these Grenson Curt shoes in the flesh, as it where?

                                        Or a recommendation for a suitable alternative for around £200. Doesn't have to have a leather sole.
