It’s my first one just enjoying all the leathers and how different people treat them.

They’re true size @FlavourFade

@Oaktavia
Your jeans are fricken amazing it was the IHSH-75 shirt. Once you’ve tried XHS once there’s no going back. They should do a re-run of the vest it would sell out in seconds.

Nice crocking @northsouthdenimguy
I put these in the Dome a month late always wanted some unstructured toe engineers.
They’re The Keeper 2 by Benzein now BriselBlack in Shinki Natural Oiled Horsebutt Overdyed Brown.
Less than a week old.

Hi Dan I’m also called Dan. I got them in 2017. I wore them a lot to begin with but now only occasionally but still love them. Size nine true to size.

@Daniel-San I hope you enjoy your boots as much as I have. The teacore is popping on these ones.

@indigo_fades Yeah the plain one my daughter wanted to test my knife out so she cut it.I can’t throw it out so just wear both.

@Mizmazzle Yeah they are.

Can’t upload anything on the invitational site at the moment. So I’ll try here.

This worked for me as these were so tight to get on and off that after a year the stitching came undone on the outside of the backstays. I got the stays repaired but then abandoned them until last week decided to soak them in the bath for an hour in luke warm water.
Then I put two pairs of thick socks on and a carrier bag over my feet and squeezed them into the boots. 48 hours later they were dry taking them off only at bedtime. Now they fit really well.

Whilst drying lots of white patches appeared

They were then treated to some Pecards antique leather dressing. Right boot dressed.

Quick brush and they were ready to wear

Yeah these are made in 2012 but purchased in 2017 I think worn not very much new boot overload.

Here are some loggers 4585 from the last release the briar oil slick has a quite reddish burgundy colour to it which I Iike.

This jacket has been wet various times it’s now starting to dry out a little bit on the surface. @Mizmazzle asked ages ago how does it compares to normal horse leather and I don’t know because the others are shinki and this is nothing like that.
This is a nice relaxed easy to wear jacket.

@Oaktavia Thanks I to am envious and want the 21oz work shirt CPO.

Yeah thanks @DeeDee85
Here it is outside.

One year of wear.

Enjoying the fades especially the slubby ones.

@hugothecowboy

Yeah no special treatments not even a soak turn garment inside out just bung it in the machine turn the dial to jeans wash (30 degrees c 45 min cycle) add detergent of choice no spin let air dry.
