@JCMx800:

My new iPhone/ smartphone pouch. Its just a gimmick type of thing, but I like it and its pretty useful.

I got the one with the Peach artwork.

Everytime I look at belts, I want to bang my head against the table.

I wear a 33, ideally…

Half the people only make 32 or 34 - go figure.

I'll shoot them an email. Maybe they can cook something up.

I'm an idiot.

Last time at Self Edge my memory was wrong - I'm actually a S in the 86.

You will be getting an order for the blue as soon as my PayPal issues are sorted out.

Isn't that… about how much it costs to order new from White's?

Those Tender belts look lovely. But they don't list measurements, only size numbers, which means nothing without details.

Do you know what their sizing system entails?

Thanks

Thinking of picking this up as I desperately need a brown. Currently have a natural and a black.

A little meh on the pre-roughed out buckle but it's not a biggie.

Or do you guys think along the lines of something else?

**Fuck… should have posted in the existing belt thread. Mods feel free to move/apologies.

Thanks Giles.

I should be getting a substantial amount of income quite soon… you will be hearing from me.

I'd buy that [80], if I knew the sizing of it compared to the 86.

Just picked up this beauty in the indigo.

Did I read "true to size?" Looks like they run a big large (like 1/2 size large). But just to the naked eye. I could be completely off.

Kindly asking what model that is, xtc.

I'm looking for Samurai cut in a similar vein to the 634.

I god damn swear I saw an M up just a day ago in the blue…

Thanks for the detailed clarification, Giles.

I'm not saying checking measurements is inaccurate.

What I'm getting across is that even for the exact same item, across 2-4 different retailors, they will all have slightly different measurements most of the time. Usually, it's not an issue. But sometimes reported measurements may be different, causing some potential headaches when the item cannot be tried on in person.

I always check the measurements.

But sometimes things fit strangely, one reason or another.

You never know until you ask for specifics when it comes to clothing.

So no shrinkage if only handwashed cold and air dried, I assume.

Would you say the Small 73 is comparable to Medium 86?

Cheers

I wear a medium on the IHSH-86. Should I get a medium on this one?

Will there be ANY shrinkage (even if miniscule, like half a centimeter or so) with a hot wash and hot tumble dry?

Thanks

@superfuzz:

That's the regular jobmaster toe. G can confirm.

Was afraid you'd say that.

I'm a service boot fanatic. Not the thin, puny toe style - I like the heavy, clunky kind. After my Viberg 310s, I think I found my next boot. Should be half the price too.

The wait's gonna be killer…

@Giles:

OK.  One of the reasons I love this job is that nothing goes quite to plan, so the art of getting where you want to end up is often a series of tweaks.

I love the Burlap leather that Wesco does, the feel of the smooth out is almost sensual, so I had this "brilliant" idea. Lets take the same hides, subject it to the same tanning process but make it in Olive Drab.

So Chris at Wesco jumped on the idea.  And we made one sample hide.

Bugger, we got the recipe wrong.  Personally, I hope these are my size, because I will wear the crap out of them in the certain knowledge that the green will mute with the appropriate abuse.

For the production run, we'll get the green a lot more drab…

(annnnnd please, no Robin feckin Hood jokes)

Is this one considered the 'boss toe' or something else?

A drab green might be up my alley.
