Anyone excited about the upcoming new EZ slider collab between GAH and SJ..?

I’m really excited for the brass one!🫶

[AdamJ]

very cool

@mecken88

Yes, the brass one will be super cool. I’m definitely thinking about it. Wonder if it’s going to be an unannounced release?

[mecken88]

@northsouthdenimguy these days anything can happen at Ship John haha

They random released it today a limited few in store only. And “soon” when the rest arrives they will be added online. So when “soon” is, nobody knows. Sometimes it’s within the same week, sometimes it’s several weeks away‍️

Hoping it’s not too far away! and hoping it’s not super limited and absolutely impossible to buy

[northsouthdenimguy]

Hey All, looks like some denim townes are back up on the site, smaller sizes or at least XL and smaller

[northsouthdenimguy]

@mecken88

Looks like he cleaned up the accessory page a little bit today. Removed some sold out stuff. It must be coming soon….

[Mister_Brue]

@mecken88 Super excited if I can get one. Brass or silver, I don’t mind.

[mecken88]

@northsouthdenimguy I saw that too

[mecken88]

@Mister_Brue silver is so beautiful for sure! But it’s significantly more expensive, and all my other accessories is from brass, so I’m keeping the theme

I asked Mike if the smaller split ring that’s included could be a connector to the already existing brass chain on the Gibson. If you could exchange the smaller permanent ring that’s connects to the old fish hook. And he said it should be possible.
I was worried it had to bend so much it gets damaged in the process when connecting to the actual chain.
I know he cant be certain if he hasn’t tried. But I would be glad if it’s possible

Picture for reference:

My Gibson wallet has just arrived! - so of course now I have my eye on the new EZ slider…..but then again, i know what it’s like trying to buy stuff off their site, so I don’t have high hopes

• list item

[Mister_Brue]

@mecken88 Yes, that would look cool. It is possible, even if you have to get a jeweller to do it.

@northsouthdenimguy I’m still waiting for that waxed TP to come back in stock!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Some Derroll boots available on the site not sure what sizes just saw on Instagram posted 18 minutes ago

[northsouthdenimguy]

Just make sure you take them “true to size” on that D width(IME) if you don’t know

SJ sashiko Townes with my UES double weave. Love this thing.

@mecken88 I have a brass belt buddy so as much as i LOVE brass im conflicted to get the silver so i have some variety. Legit torn which to get but maybe my decision will be much easier when i see the difference in price lol

[mecken88]

@Gianny-Boy read somewhere that local people in Portland had tha chance on both options available in store, in a very low limited amount. Before the rest came to go up the site. Like a local tease before it was released “for real”

I think the brass was in the $200 range and the silver in $600.

Don’t quote me on that. But wouldn’t surprise me. Because the regular EZ slider in silver on GAH website is $625.

I love silver too, someday I wanna own the model 10 bracelet. But for the EZ slider I love the brass more. Just because my set up is all brass. Brass belt, brass key clips, brass chain to my Gibson. So naturally I feel the brass complement better for that. If I would have a silver wallet chain I would easily choose silver EZ slider (IF I had the money for it haha)

but both beautiful for sure!

[mecken88]

Ordered in the 10 October, and arrived today!

[Gianny Boy]

@mecken88 thanks for the info! Makes total sense seems about right, i remember looking at one of their watchamacall its...key chain clip thing in silver around that same price. Ditto on the model 10 its a fantastic piece of hardware but, maybe some day. Plus ive been WAITING for that Wagoneer briefcase and they said its coming back soon.

totally agree on brass, an that set up sounds killer! Do you have pics of it all rigged up hahah would love to see. Love the look of brass on black/brown which is a majority of my closet lol.

[mecken88]

@Gianny-Boy wasn’t the easiest to photograph, I’m not so good at it either
But vegtan leather and brass combo🤎 so hoping to upgrade to the brass EZ slider🫶
