@mclaincausey:

Love the print. Interested in the subject. I know the yakuza claim lineage to samurai but I haven't seen a topknot and tats together like that.

If your interested check out the Japanese tattoo by Donald Richie and Ian baruma or tattoos of the floating world/bushido - legacies of the Japanese tattoo by Takahiro Kitamura. Long and short of it is that tattooing was popular in japan but due to politics and the disapproval of the shogunate they tried to outlaw it and also issue tattoos as punishment (one of the reasons why tattoos became associated with crime in japan apparently). Really interesting subject and highly recommend any of those books. The baruma book is quite expensive and you can get most of the info from it in the other two which are a lot cheaper!

Thanks guys.  Have just made a lot of contacts since joining the forum.  Was very surprised and happy to be offered these 2 rare gems.  I have been very fortunate in my hunts.  Love the 22; especially since it is one of the rare flannels that is more stripe than check for IH.  Have couple more inbound I'll update with when they arrive.  Have a serious weakness for IH flannels.

bushmonkey really knows what he is doing.  Always envious when you post stuff like that.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken

Flat tire sucked. Getting a wicked deal on a kick ass helmet made up for it. Been eyeing the Shoei helmets with the emergency release option. Hope to never need to use it.

Forgive the iPhone snap but I just got these in the post after playing an 8 month game of chicken to see if they'd drop the price. Thankfully I won!

Dr Martens Wingtips, made in their Northamptonshire factory and very cool.
