Not bad at all buddy. Not bad at all.

@Giles Is that a different shirt from the Ivory Ezo?

[Giles]

Yes, it is a cod liver tanned deerskin western shirt that I had made for Haraki about 8/10 years ago.  The black dye is "scraped" onto the face of the hide and wears off with abuse….

[neph93]

It was insane. The Boss wore it like a god amongst men.

[goosehd]

If this shirt comes to fruition, I want/need one!  It is spectacular.

[Eisenherz]

…but this kind of skin is the  most expensive leather available, expect maybe Shinki Horse.
I know Mrs  Kolesch. I am sure she has some skins left 

[hajduk]

The Haraki-san deerskin shirt is unreal! Sun burning process  on his bike has i think made the thing insane. U have to see it for to believe it!

Writing this on the descent into Oslo….

There are too many people I could mention here who made my weekend amazing. Friends both old and new, from the forum and otherwise. I want to list them all but it would be too long and I may accidentally miss someone, so I’m going for «no-one mentioned, no-one forgotten». You all know who you are so thank you so much.

I will mention @Giles, @Madame Buttonfly and @Alex for their impeccable hospitality and generosity. In addition the entire Stubborn Crew did their company and brand proud.

I also want to make special mention of @scooter. Not only did he leave the US for the first time to travel to Gosport, he gifted me some amazing beer from his home state, (more about that on the appropriate thread), saved my ass when a double booking threatened to create havoc and let me sleep on his sofa bed. He also drove me back to LHR this morning. He epitomises the fraternal spirit of the forum and is great company to boot.

Cheers everyone!

Waiting at Stansted Airport. This time it is only an estimated 45 minute delay.

I will use the time to say thank you to everyone who was involved helping to make the last weekend such a special happening. It was a blast.

5 years went by since my last visit and it was nice to see old faces again and to meet lot's of new folks.

Looking forward seeing you all again!

Had a nice day in London, today. The Natural History and the Albert and Victoria are great places. And this Franco Manca Chain has a really delicious Pizza.

From the sublime to the debauched…

You will not have a finer time getting drunk at noon on a sunny Saturday than with this trio of reprobates. It turns out this was one of Gosport’s roughest pubs too. They were very nice to us. Probably because they couldn’t work out if we were hard bastards or a bunch of dandy libertarians.

Having this guy with us may have hjelped…

@Giles:

To the tannery website, their Leathers look so similar to the shirt
