        Whatever half decent jeans I could find,  Brand did not particularly matter.

        Patagonia and Ex Officio for outdoor and fishing gear
        Canali suits because I was a corporate arsehole
        Sage Fishing rods
        Charlton fishing reels
        Mercedes cars

        Is that what you meant? 😉 😉 😉

            That's a good enough answer.

            I just recall you selling off shine Flat Head sweaters.

            Wasn't trying to start a "brand war" our anything, lol

              I represented Flat Head outside of Japan and US for a while.  When I got serious traction with IH, I had to give up The Flat Head gig, I just could not give the brand the attention it deserved.  I am still great friends with Kobayashi san and his crew and still pop up to Nagano once in a while.

              Have plenty of brand new with tags size 33 TFH jeans if people are interested….

                Ha ha. It wasn't love it was a relationship of convenience.

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                          Oh why is that?  Are there no FH models with a higher rise?

                            Olive threads would be cool ….. but the priority is -> they come soooooooon!

                                      Those are sought after. Shouldn't have any trouble selling those. I prefer IH

                                      Maybe so. Maybe not
