Thank you. Been eyeing it for some time now. Was in SE yesterday to try on the SExIH Flannel Workshirt but just couldn't drop the cash on something that did not fit properly. The BR has the opposite fit… PERFECT!

I will get that for you either later today or tomorrow. Rain started up again and the lighting is less than desirable…

XL. I know that Loopwheeled stretches and that it is supposed to be fitted more vintage sty;e but I feel like it fits pretty damn well. Hey if it stretches, I can always shrink it up again. Pics to come, I promise. I will put one up tonight even if this weather does not clear.

PBJ Indigo gauze scarf - Mrs Giles has already got her eye on it…G

[Guest]

Looks black rather than blue. Is it really black?

[Giles]

VERY dark blue…G

[Beatle]

PBJ has some really excellent dyeing methods…

[Guest]

Interesting. I wonder how it will look with wear and washing. Probably some very nice wabi-sabi there. I also wonder whether it would dye off on other clothes. Say you were to wear it with a white t-shirt. Washing separately (or with jeans) would go without saying.

First item I buy that I'll probably never wear. Just HONOURED to have this (and STOKED I got it for 60 € on the bay):

eBay and oki-ni pics for now:

Nice pick up Seul! How come you will never wear it?

[Seul]

I have Prescotts, overdyed ones, maybe they go with those… We'll see...

Hope you remembered to get ur Bape hoody and Crooks tee… hahahaha, I'm just teasing man. Not that huge of a fan of shoe collaborations nowadays, but shelltoes are always a solid choice. Still think the black on white would have been just as nice if not a tad better. But hey, as long as you're happy man.

[Guest]

Funky. Neat idea. I like it. Congrats.

^if you did you would have caught hell for it. lol. and i was just joshing.

Four new soles.

Picked up 2 pairs of boots from the cobbler yesterday with nice new shiny soles (I wore the RM Williams out in the rain last night, so thet're not so shiny and new any longer).  The other pair I picked up from a Ralph Lauren outlet a few years ago, dunno who actually made them, but they're def English benchmade:

Wow! Super nice both of them. When you get new soles the best thing to do is to wear them on dry pavement for some time until they are roughed up. Then use the impregnation spray on them. Also some sole oil from time to time works wonders for the longevity, flexibility and waterproofing of the soles.
