@Seul:

Loyal SF fan here - has done nothing but treat me fantastically…

Haha, I was being sarcastic  ::)
Although relatively low yield compared to SF and a tad less friendly compared to IH or mN, I think SF is quite entertaining, and useful for getting up to date on smaller, up-and-coming brands!

I only visit the streetwear forum though…being stuck in shirt/tie/suit all day makes me not want to read about them after hours 

Back on topic though, I would very much like to own this Samurai Auto-mobile Club cap:

Too true.
The most helpless n00bs and wackiest forum psychopaths are on SF
I'm there to convert the greenhorns, hahaha!

Hi b_F!

My copper wallet chain, partly inspired by the Kawatako x Samurai chains, hand-made in Oakland, CA.

Here is a project I did on my Oni 1001-HM patch last month - a bit of DIY, since I didn't like the juxtaposition of the original patch colour with the denim:

@Seul:

Where did you get that jacket mikecch?..

From  無双 co. ltd. (a.k.a. 2nd)

They've got the largest range of The Flat Head, Samurai Jeans, Red Moon & Deluxeware.
They don't speak English though…

@Giles:

Well, there is deerskin and deerskin.  The stuff that I am playing around with at the moment is the most stunning quality you will have ever seen…................

Mmm, you have perked my attention - tell me more?

The deer skin stuff I have is made by Native American craftmen who, I presume, know how to pick a good deer hide.

Oooh, and I've managed to track down a TFH jacket - this just in today, I'm very excited:

Mmm, interesting - it's made of deer skin.
I have some deer skin stuff - quite a stretchy leather, but not the strongest…bronco hide, in my opinion, would be a cheaper but better option.

I see. Thanks anyway

Hey Giles!
Do you guys have The Flat Head loop-wheeled hoodies and shawl-collar parkas available?
Much thanks~

@hanswong:

can anyone help? i just bought mid cordovan wallet. what kind of oil i should use for cordovan leather? i dont want to use mink oil in case i will ruin the color of wallet.

I would use horse oil, works a charm on all mammalian and avian leathers!

The highest penetration rate of all natural oils, won't alter the leather colour - just a bit expensive though.

@gbougard:

HOWEVER, what the heck were they thinking doing a ZIPPER model and not a button one? They lost me on this one…

Because people would break their thumbs trying to button up a pair after soaking them

Here me in the TFH jacket I adopted from Giles:

Yes, I did wear it out to dinner~

Is the bottom one a cotton sampler?

It's a lambfoot.
