@Conan Some shorty porn for you! I prefer the shorter wallet chain - practical but with less jingle jangle! I tend to wear tag 34 555 jeans and the Army wallet sits just right.

[Conan]

Much appreciated @IH-GARY. Great setup.

@Conan here is my long wallet w the shorty and a skull piece from @7tacos

And here it is without

Typically I use the shorty w a BLB or the skull but to show the true length I went without for the second pic.

@Oaktavia If there is a local silversmith I am sure they would be able to do it depending on how you like to wear it for me I would go maybe even 3-4 links but I dont like things dangleing... good luck! it has lovely petina (but yes you can send stuff to GA for sure)

[Oaktavia]

@Eza I ended up taking it to a jeweler and took out two links. It is perfect now for me, still a bit loose but not flowing up and down my arm to and hand as it was before.

The Nashville Pop Up exclusive piece coming out this week….

Super limited but very pricey.

[Oaktavia]

@Anesthetist I know someone who will be in Nashville this weekend...

[Eza]

@Oaktavia oh nice! Perfect I said 3-4 since I like bracelets to stay put when I put them on.. its a beautiful piece!

The pop-up is at Savas, they shared a showroom space in Paris during the last mens fashion week. I got measured for the Lowry over shirt while I was at the showroom by Savannah and picked it up later in a trip to the USA, her leather goods are incredible.

Anyone have experience ordering apparel directly from GAH? I ordered a t-shirt from their collaboration with Race Service a few weeks ago and haven't gotten any communication about it. I know the jewelry shipping time takes weeks unless it says ready to ship, but I wouldn't think extended shipping times would apply to their apparel.

[Kasi]

Drop them a email.
Normally mine are ships after a week

[jdwaid]

@Kasi thanks for that. I reached out and they got back to me pretty quickly to explain it would be shipped out end of week. Delay was probably related to the holidays.

Hey y’all. I just received my grail piece, the Model 10 B. It isn’t as shiny as I expected. There is some tarnishing and marks on the clasp and the links at the connection point are rather grey. My other pieces from Good Art have always been bright out of the bag, but this one not so much. What do you think?

[pechelman]

the connection / soldered areas have always arrive grey for me. the finishing on the clasp doesnt look to be the usual high quality from them. You could reach out and let them know to see what they say, but itll end up looking like that anyway after some wear.

The one oddity is how much tarnishing there appears to be on the SIDE of some of the links like that one next to the rosette. Do you have a picture of the whole bracelet?

[jdwaid]

@pechelman here is the best I can do with my iPhone. Yeah I expected the grey soldering marks at the interior of the links, but it’s on the exterior of the links and the clasp as well. You mentioned this would happen with time. Maybe it was a display piece. Is there a safe way to clean and polish? I looked up some approaches and the tin foil /baking soda method seems effective but I wouldn’t want to remove the parts of tarnish that are intentional within the rosette etc

[gazza61]

@jdwaid use a silver polishing cloth from Goddards I've used it on my friends and he was amazed how clean it came up.

[pechelman]

@jdwaid +1 to those cloths
what you dont want to do is get polishing stuff down into the dark areas because that could strip the "antiquing" or whatever you want to call it.

But before you do anything, at a minimum, I'd still shoot them an email with these pictures and let them know. Maybe they would offer you a free trip back for your bracelet to get a cleaning and polishing?

Also, thanks for the pictures. I had an idea that maybe this was a used/returned bracelet that was configured wrong like DanielSan's a while back. Looks to be assembled correctly.

[jdwaid]

@pechelman Appreciate the insights and recommendations. I thought it might have been worn a bit before I got it. Glad to hear that its at least configured correctly. I know its legit based on the serial number. I probably will just polish it myself, not sure I want to part with it at this point for some weeks or months. Cheers

[Mizmazzle]

@jdwaid sorry if this was stated before, but did you buy this direct from GAH? Def doesn't have that new GA shine and finish. I've had my model 10 for a year now ands its way shinier with next to zero tarnishing like yours...

edit: looks like a Self Edge purchase...

[Anesthetist]

Hit it gently with a polishing cloth, it will look like new in less than a minute. A cloth wont affect the liver of sulfur (dark spots) unless you really rub it aggressively.
