Is it weird that I don't smoke (maybe a rare cigar) but for some reason I feel that my life is obsolete without one of these silver BIC sleeves Haraki always posts?
Maybe it's because I recently lost my 15 year old zippo and an feeling a bit empty inside…

Not at all. I've always liked that, too.
Not quite the same, but you could get something from this guy. He does custom work, if you want to get really fancy. I bought a very nice plain nickel lighter cover from him about a year ago.

Be careful what you wish for dude. My love for a good lighter caused me to take up Camel filters again a year ago. I just spent the weekend smoking my last at Kanreki. Been clean since Monday morning and my lighter is stashed where I won't find it easily.
(That bic cover is trés cool though [emoji28])

Thanks for the link Chris!
@neph - my punk rocks days are long gone, as are my days stuffing parliament lights into the fret board of my guitar lol [emoji23]

I have never and will never smoke, but I have 2-3 lighters that I use regularly to melt off loose threads ends on sewing projects. The cover makes a cheap bic lighter feel a touch more substantial, so that it seems more enjoyable to use.

Red Wing have gone off piste with a new moc toe. What d'yall think? (I'm on the fence but they'll be good for the bike as they won't show up gear lever marks)

Keep it up bud. Nothing good about smoking

That match stick case is nearly enough to make me never use a lighter again….
Right now his page is a little light on products, but he's made lots of other things. And you could customize- he works with brass, nickel, copper, silver, and gold, and seems open to special projects. I bought something in stock, but he was quick with communication and seemed like a decent dude.

Fair enough. And your priorities do seem in the correct order…

Title says it all… thanks!
A little bit. I'd describe it more as "loosening" than stretching. They don't stretch like jeans because the pressure they're under isn't the same. I'd hazard a guess that westerns shrink less than other styles because the extra stitching on the yoke retards stretch in the shoulder area.

@UnTucked @trail and arrow @Chris at Kanreki I tried on a leather black jacket off the sales rail. I think it was an Aero. We all agreed it fit me quite well but a certain indigo dyed horsehide vest beat it out. However it has being occupying my thoughts. Do any of you remember what kind of jacket it was so I can ask @Giles if he still has it?

It was the Aero half belt that I wanted @neph93
