Old and the new 777-XHSib

@twin nice comparison shots. Do you live by a pond/lake?

[twin]

@Oaktavia This is at Green Lane park that is close to were I live. I love this place lots of open space here.

[Oaktavia]

@twin lol I thought you were on a front porch, which appears to be a gazebo at second glance.

[twin]

@Oaktavia This is a gazebo were a house use to be in the park. They got this land when the old woman died.

The two pairs in rotation.

@WhiskeySandwich lovely!! SBG and 21oz Indigo??

Is that the IH Tochigi belt? Looking very nice!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Mizmazzle new SBG 888 and 21ib 888 from October. Gotta get the black caught up so I’m favoring the them. The belt is a natural veg from Mr. Lentz that I tried and failed to diy tea-core. Regardless of the failure, I still love it. Found an aftermarket brass buckle from BuckleGuy that I’m rocking too.

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich nice man. Looking stellar all around. It’s about the most satisfying feeling fading some denim. Not sure what it is. Kinda like, “look what a badass I am!!” Haha

How old was the woman?

[twin]

@ROman I would say she was about 90 years old. This was one of the family's that stayed here when the lake was made in the 1950's.

Just a couple of close up pics of my favourite IH purchase. It's looking extra faded right now after almost three weeks out in the Thai sun...

[T4920]

I just love how the inner Hickory flap has evolved over the years, blues getting slowly rubbed away with the friction created between the bag and a jacket..

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 that is awesome man.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 shit! Incredible looking bag. How long have you had it?

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle about a year and a half, but it's really come into its own in the last six months!

Can't wait to give it another wash when I'm back from vacation, so filthy right now

Been riding a shitty little 125cc scooter around Northern Thailand for the last three weeks, probably not the kinda bike Haraki San wants his product associated with but damn, I've had fun
