Rivet and Hide

Thanks, still very tempted by that IndigoFerra jacket. And TFH Wabash… Probably a good job that you don't stock any boots at the moment as well ;).
Already looking forward to my next visit.

I'm working on a boot idea. Early days.
Check out the thickest flannel TFH has ever made with indigo design dropping later this week. It has the substantial feeling of wool with the softness and comfort of cotton. -
Well… I went for a visit... Danny now has all my money ;).
It was great to meet him and Junior (briefly). Stuff was looked at, stuff was tried on and inevitably stuff was bought...
I now know what size I take in TFH shirts and by extension RJB shirts.
I also know what I want for Xmas
I've dropped in a couple of times…
Top tip - take the cash you can afford and leave the credit card at home
It's a magical place where money can disappear in minutes

Well, yes, I know that know ;)…

So, Rivet and Hide…
Easy to get to, lots and lots of lovely things to try on and extremely helpful staff :). Generates the same vibe as VMC Original does. I highly recommend a visit for anyone in London, and also anyone not in London as well.
Danny will appreciate more foot traffic, and I'd appreciate them moving to larger premises so as to stock more IH gear
(tried an IHSH-33 on, only didn't buy it because I have a 76 arriving.)A great selection of a large amount of brands in a compact space.
Tried on a fair amount of IndigoFerra stuff (more gushing to follow in the appropriate thread), really nice stuff again, thankfully not too much in my size. But another brand I will eventually buy and like UES something I would not have appreciated without the opportunity to try the products on.
In the immortal words of a certain cyborg:
"I'll be back"
And in the meantime, there's always the online store. Which I had no problems with at all. Despite what anyone else might say
-
MP, sounds like you had fun at Rivet and Hide, and I agree about the Indigoferra stuff. I managed to get a Fargo last time I was there.
Which reminds me, I really need to go there to see if Junior can sew up my jeans fairly soon.
Wilberforce, leaving the card at home won't help. Danny has a website.
(And as for it being a magical place, does that mean it's where Agent Coulson has been hanging out since the Avengers?) -
We took stock of UES thick 3 ply socks in grey and navy.
The UES Craftsmen and women in Okayama operate a rare and old machine with 102 needles that weaves the cotton into a low gauge knit. The 3 ply uneven thread gives the appearance of nep.
They feel really soft and ooze quality.

The Indigo Houndstooth Flannel is the thickest The Flat Head has ever made.
It is yet another 'special' piece taking the bar even higher.It is so thick it has the warmth and substantial feel of wool with all the luxurious comfort of cotton.
The ivory base is covered with an intricate indigo houndstooth pattern.
The inside is brushed extremely soft and the collar, pocket flaps, and cuffs are canvas lined.
Pearloid Universal snaps are used as buttons for the shirt.The shuttle on the loom had to be exchanged every 5 minutes during the weaving so difficult was the procedure.
Because of this only a limited amount of these shirts was made.NB. The shirt runs slightly smaller than other western flannels we have carried. You may or may not need to size up so check the size charts.

What hajduk said! A beauty…
-
The only reason I haven't bought that beauty is that I'm swearing myself off of new shit outside of what's currently on my roadmap. What a bitchin shirt…
-
Would love to get this shirt. But for the majority of FH shirts - shoulders are too broad corresponding to the chest sizes IMHO.
-
First shirt I've seen in such a long time that I truly covet. Do you know if they're doing a work shirt version Danny? Only tried one western in a 40 that was too right but I think a 42 would look sloppy on me

There was an option for the workshirt. I don't know if other retailers ordered it. I do know the fabric was a bitch to weave and only a small amount was done. If the 40 western was a tad too tight and the 42 loose the 42 in this shirt could be ideal. It fits like a 41.
-
I really, really hope that there's only a couple of 40s in stock. Because I really want to buy this… I wanted to buy it from Danny's description, but now I've seen the pics :-*.
Damn...
-
I would order the 42 but I just don't think their westerns are for me…. 40 was perfect in shoulders and sleeve and tight in chest and waist, and I have a reall thing about sloppy arms.....gotta be on the lookout for the work shirt
thanks Danny! -

M_P As lovely as it is you only need one not a couple
-
Well yes, hoping you only had a couple in the sense that, hopefully they will sell out fast and thus temptation will be removed.
