The poplin they use on those seems to me to basically be a recreation of Ventile, so that thing is going to be pretty hardy in rain and wind, I'd imagine.

Turned out great Snowy!  Amazing looking jacket

Great job, Snowman.

And here I thought I was the only well dressed hipster living at Cedar Trails…..;-)

Nice look, love that shirt!

@mclaincausey:

Thanks nerkg!

Finn, I have good news and bad news and they're the same. These fit perfectly

These may never leave my feet. OG RCs with Takeshi magic leather soles.

Whoah no shit? Small world! I think there's someone else from MN on here too

After 2.5 months of waiting for my Road Champs, they turned up @ my desk today. What a surprise that was! Takeshi-san has done a lovely job on these, and I'm officially ready for winter now.

[Snowy]

and I'll post more/better photos at some point later. It's just passed midnight and needed to share the good news

[EastWest]

Good call Snowy, what a finish!

[superfuzz]

Wow rad. I'm going to do soemthing similar once I wear out my soles. Let us know how they feel once your worn them around Snowy.

OMG I want that.  Fantastic.

P.S. Did it change the fit/feel at all?

I know right, crazy small world. I live over in the 46XX bldg.

If you see a guy wearing Red Wing Iron Rangers, LVC 501's and a V neck white T, that's me, I wear that get up to work every day.

Hey can I borrow that blue shirt?  Kidding, I'm a kidder.

[summ3rhays]

Congrats Snowy. Those turned out amazing.  Not that there was ever doubt.

[madmonday]

that's a boot you can be proud of snow man.

gmb i disagree with you, but what's new.

[grandmasterben]

Idk, maybe it's because there's no fish-shaped stitching in the middle but to me the stitching just looks straighter than when compared to this

[tatmantall]

Look great snowman!! I prefer the RCs with the half sole.

Ben- I have seen the vintage half sole stitch done by a number of well known people in the business and this is not uncommon… Since I don't know the first thing about resolving I can't say that it's a difficult thing to do but when guys that are known sticklers for detail like zip Stevenson have similar results I would GUESS that something about the process is a bit difficult in getting exactly perfect. That said my lofgrens have the figure 8 stitch and it is bang on, so makes me wonder if the issue in alignment is related to it being done post production... I could also very well be wrong it just a simple observation.
