Oh, I love wearing brown shoes with grey and navy blue (but no black) suits.  Brown suede especially!

[Chris]

Here's how I work it:
I don't wear leather watch straps- it's either a bracelet or a nylon NATO strap in a snazzy color (like red).

I don't wear black shoes or boots.  Seriously.  I don't like them, never have.  Not a fan of black leather jackets, either.

As a result, all my boots and accessories tend to be various shades of brown, thus all coordinating according to the "rules".  Lately, I've branched out a bit and embraced different color boots (like my green Vibergs).  In my head, that falls outside the brown/black mixing issue, though I'm sure someone will say that I should only wear those boots with a green belt and a green watch strap…

My advice to you is simple, though- wear what you like and everyone else can screw off.;)

Where do natural leather products fit in?

[Seul]

I mix natural with black… Eg:  my black waxed Tricker's with the IHB-03 natural (because one of the midsoles is natural coloured). I also mix sneakers with natural, and my grey, blueberry and sand Red Wings.

[zwer]

Yeah - natural works with everything. I've got a natural belt and wear it with all colours and fabrics. Sparkly shoes, rubber trousers, lamé tops…

Lorrie that Tag Monaco is a great looking piece. Wouldn't suit anything but a black leather strap.

@Giles:

I am sure it does as with all things, the quality of the raw materials is fundamental to the quality of the end product, but I have never been asked or have asked the question before.  I will try and get more data.

thanx G..

has anyone heard of a company making a natural indigo denim jacket? seems like a product that would cost an outrageous amount of money, but it also sounds like it would kick ass (to me at least).

[Giles]

Triple Works will soon…..

[seanocono]

^Nice.  Can't wait to see that.

[Giles]

Yep.  Haraki and I are exploring the idea of making Triple Works denim out of organic cottons and dyed with natural indigo….

[tigerpac]

^^^ Now that sounds interesting!

[deadendpro]

Any info on the type? 2 like the other one?

keep me updated plz

???

[Giles]

What Type II?

[deadendpro]

the previous Triple works type 2, the one that you said 9 out of 10 preferred over the FH type 2 jacket.

[Giles]

Jackets on the whole sell really slowly.  I thought the market needed a good Type II, so I commissioned one from H.  It sold really slowly, I learnt my lesson….

[deadendpro]

ahh. i see. Well it is nevertheless an amazing idea and i cannot wait to hear/see more developments.
