Snake Eaters incoming!

Just returned from a trip to find mine in my office - love it! The natural buckskin is even better in person! Only downside is that I have to wait 4 months to wear it in Dallas...

@blue2gnt not ideal, but I’ve got this in olive and there’s a discrepancy in pocket spacing. Due to my personal preference, I only wear it unsnapped and there’s not even a hint of pocket spacing discrepancy when it’s unsnapped. It’s a compliment magnet and I expect this natural version will be as well.

Can't wait for this one! I was torn between the XL and L and Freeman hooked me up with some measurements. I love that option of dialing in an exact fit!

I noticed the black restock was released today. Any update on this bad boy?

Here’s a few pics with 8-10 wears. The last pic is a sleeve shot to show the color contrast next to an indigo denim shirt, IH 21oz type III, and seal brown Shinki Horsehide.

@Ross will do! Picked this up early this year and have only worn it a handful of times thanks to the Texas climate, but the color development is already next-level. I’ll pull it out for some photos and get them posted

I picked one up at the beginning of the year, back when a final piece (from the previous run) was still available in my size through a U.S. stockist. I could not be happier with it. The construction quality is outstanding, and the leather is absolutely badass.

This is easily my favorite leather for anything—boots, jackets, upholstery, you name it. Even at this price, I still feel like I got a steal. I had been meaning to share my praise sooner, but after I bought it, I couldn’t find the item page again.

I thought I was all stocked up on boots. Who doesn’t need a pair of snake eaters in their rotation!

I'd be pissed about the scratches and the black mark on the left vamp. Looks like someone tried them on, but no real wear. And the grain break is coming - it sure did on mine. I have that exact pair and have worn about them 25-30X and the break and scratches are all over the place. I gave up trying to keep the natural CXL clean and I'm just beating them to hell. I'd attach pics, but I don't have them with me today. They get so much darker and develop a rich, caramel color. I love the patina on these. The natural CXL roughout version is taking a bit longer to darken up.

A reminder that all WTT, WTB, and WTS needs to be in the marketplace or by pm.

Thank you.

Oh you devil.

“Gosport Grey” jeans: 16 oz non-selvedge denim SBG jeans

@northsouthdenimguy what are those? I see the crimp marks and recognize the waxed flesh, but can’t positively ID the toe shape! Pray tell…

@John-Galt good stuff, thanks.

@Davids_denim I know it's been a while since your post, but do you have any insight as to the fit of your Mr. Lou's? Like a comparison to Brannock, Vibergs, Lofgrens, etc?

I would love to see a N-1 with a 21oz denim shell over some off white wool. I’d pay a premium for a couple of those!

@Jcaz6996 what happened to this piece? I thought you were going to wash it and post pics?

@CosmoSix5 I’ve found that the western cuts have a narrower shoulder measurement which, for my build, shortens the sleeve length. This over shirt shows a wider shoulder which will push the edge of the shoulders out just enough to cover the shorter sleeve length. Hope this helps.

Mahomes in some Wabash. It looks like the 416-IND based on the contrast double needle stitching along the shoulder and around the armhole.

@goosehd Thanks for the link. I should clarify—I wasn’t looking for an exact date. But based on the timing of prior FW ’23 and ’24 IHSH launches in the calendar, would late September to mid-October be a fair estimate for this one?
