      @Sugar Mountain Hey Simon! I ended up getting a size 38. I passed by a store carrying it. But they have only a size 40 in the 6007. The shoulders were bigger and the sleeves were covering till my knuckles. Like how my Nudie Conny was fitting. I guess the Japanese cut is predominantly a smaller cut. As you can see. my tors is pretty short. When i carry backpacks my rear belt loops always get rubbed off. And the sleeves were just nice…almost

      So i decided that 38 is good for me! Thanks for the help! Just weird that my t shirts were at 40.

        I love the slanted pockets on FH western shirts, I think they're much cooler looking that the conventional straight and wedge-type used on most western shirts.

            Alright guys, here it is!  Imo the best wallet there is.  It took a while to get but totally worth it.  I'm in love with this thing.  Cordovan outer, cowhide inner, pigskin up the wazoo.

                      Is that a custom order? Really looks like a top notch piece.

                        Thanks guys, it's perfect for me!

                        Yes, custom. It took about 4 months which is better than what I was expecting and told (6 months.)

                        Definitely worth it for something that will last a lifetime!

                          One of the most personal items one can have, there's no doubt that it's an enduring reward to have a wallet that satisfies. Kudos!

                          Think it, be it.

                            Well done Ben! How on earth did you get a custom done, out of interest?

                            Also how thick is it? Crazy thick or just kind of normal thick. Stunning looking either way!

                              Snowy, no trouble on the custom job.  Just talk to Yuichi at pirates and he'll sort you out!

                              I was planning on starting the custom order in Tokyo but I was pretty bummed when Ooi-san told me that they were discontinuing the natural cordovan and the next closest thing was the ox-blood I have.  I decided to wait since it's a lot of scratch for a wallet, but realized that it's still going to look great with age and I need a wallet!

                              Luckily yuichi was able to order it for me, I wouldve been really bummed if i missed my only chance for a custom one!  Style wise this is the ultimate wallet; color wise I wish a little that it was the old natural cordovan, but I think in the end I'll be just as happy with this one!

                                I wouldn't change a thing, that ox-blood worked out really well.

                                  Giles, do you still have Flathead under your wings here in Europe?
                                  Where could I get a type 3 (6003) jacket in size 44?

                                    Yeah Ben I like the reddish brown cordovan FH currently uses way more than the old version (which wasn't natural like you'd associate with veg-tan cowhide wallets but a dyed color.  I don't think anyone offers a true "natural" cordovan color.)  So personally I think your wallet turned out perfectly.

                                      Interesting, I never thought of that. Horween's Whiskey looks sort of natural, so I suppose that's the closest from that tannery at least.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                          The color on those jeans is awesome. Really beginning to pop! The belt is no slouch either. Big fan!
