Rodeo day 2, but my first day with the 633 XHS. This 25oz is no joke! Took them out of the box, threw them on, and headed out of the door.

Also day 1 with the IHSH-246 natural. Shoutout to Self Edge for having 1 random xxl in stock. The brighter blue color is gorgeous! Might should’ve waited for an XL. Oh well.

Here are my daily drivers from Morris Boot Co, in Fort Worth Texas. It’s a really great little one-man shop.

The owner/maker takes extra pride in his stitching work. When I went in to get measured, he spent at least 30 minutes showing me all of his current work and would always fawn over the cleanliness of the stitching. He even took me back into his work area and demoed his Landis sole stitcher like a kid with his favorite toy. He had a 1” stack of veg tan that he stitched through just to show off. lol

I had him make these with American alligator. The highest grade gator skins have a very straight and consistent pattern to the scales. I wanted more character, so I found this “lower grade” skin that love and saved some cash!

One of my favorite spots on earth. Terlingua, TX. Just outside of Big Bend National Park. This is a yurt the wife and I enjoy staying at when we need to unplug. This area has one of, if not the, darkest sky in the US. I happened to catch this shooting star one night.

The silky boys. Unfortunately lost the little one in my lap a few months ago.

805s from ReLove and the new natural veg tan field jacket from Master Supply.

Honorable mention to the old Nike X N7 X Pendleton Air Force 1s.

This thread got me looking at old photos. Fifteen years back, double denimed up, out riding Texas back roads with my dad. He snapped the photo.

I humbly volunteer to test discount codes in the checkout process.

I propose we start with 80% and work our way down to 10% in Increments of 10. We must test all possibilities for the good of the customer.

Today I'm making cartoons.

I'm new around here, but this feels like a good portion of the posts I see.

@Buckeye said in Y'2 Leathers….:

@BorisB For what it’s worth, I think that the tariffs themselves are applied by the origin country of the goods, which in this case would be Japan (rather than Canada). That being said, I think you are completely correct… a (possible) nearly $500 swing on top of an incredibly expensive jacket isn’t reasonable. I put that responsibility on TJ to figure out for you… But maybe that isn’t a reasonable ask of me, and we’re just spoiled by the way IH conducts their business

Just for your edification; this is 100% backwards. The tariffs are levied and collected by the receiving country.

Remember, the point of a tariff is to encourage locals to buy local. They are levied by the receiving country on their own people.

But you have to admit, it would pretty awesome.

IHSH-33-OB
Fade-able western shirt made from denim with an olive warp and black weft, and black light weight snaps.

@Jord Agreed. I have the N&F solid foxfiber jeans, and I love the color. That said; Fox Fiber is just cotton grown by Sally Fox. You have to make ecru with it to see the uniqueness. IH does make ecru, so the only real difference would be the farm the cotton is grown on, and potentially a slightly darker ecru color.

@Rococo 2025 for me is already a 50% write off. Hamilton won’t do anything in the SF-25. Stroll’s existence means one less “top team” driver to watch. Redbull without Newey looks like an anthill that’s just been kicked over…

I can’t wait for the 2026 active aero and car size changes. I really hope it’s a total shakeup.

My 2030 prediction: The next few years will be a historic time where we saw teammates constantly battle for Championships. The Lando/Oscar battle will be a story for the textbooks about team strategy vs letting drivers drive.

Any chance of seeing a 1955 included in the upcoming 25oz release?
