      So I see over in the Boss Talk section that Haraki-san is phasing out the use of silver for hardware, due to the massive price increases. He's been experimenting with brass, in part because he likes the way it ages.  With that in mind, how about trying some things in bronze?  It's tougher than brass, cheaper than silver (I think), develops a nice patina as it ages, and is more distinctive than brass.  The watch company Anonimo has a couple of models that use bronze cases, and they look really sweet after some wear.

          Bronze does age very nicely. I think there is some potential here.

            "Black Metal" version of the 666 would be the one item that would get me over my never ending desire for a pair of 9301's!  😉

              Love how bronze age
              I just had these custom handles carved out of solid blocks of bronze.

              Not sure if the picture shows but it has a more deeper burnish colour than brass

                Me too.  So much so that I collect antique bronze and bell metal pestle and mortars…....

                    I would really like to see a slimmer cut on the non-denim pants.  I would really like to grab a few of the different loggers but they are just too baggy.

                      A high end Troyer… Very common type of pullover in Germany, usually associated with sailors. So I think. Lots of cheap versions availabe, I personally love the high collar on those.

                      When I saw this indigo knit cap by Pure Blue Japan, it hit me:

                      I want a an indigo dyed Troyer. 😉

                                I wouldn't mind seeing a more "rugged" version.

                                Geo, those are nice but a little neat (for lack of a better term) for me
