The smell is wonderful. There is nothing to break in. I also ordered the Memphis with the same back panel as this Evander. That jacket should be ready soon. Evander doesn't need any type of side or center pleat for maneuverability. It has the maneuverability of a tee shirt already. That is...

Sometimes a jacket is the actual chest measurement. For example a Levis trucker jacket in a size 36 measures 18 across. Same thing with a Brooks cafe racer. So someone would describe a size 40 fitting like a 36, giving you a bit of space between the body and the jacket. A Filson jacket in a 40...

One thing to keep in mind with the mini lugs is to remember they are quite heavy and trap small stones and pebbles between the lugs. A friend of mine called them divorce shoes. Keep a small screwdriver handy so you can pick them out before going inside. They can stick out just enough to do a lot...

Sleeves are too short. Looks like the back would feel lumpy when sitting in a car. Sleeves also look like they are bulky and bothersome. It just does not look flattering. The boxy cropped look reminds me more of a women's style.

I feel the same way about jackets with knit bottoms. Reach for anything and the jacket rides up above the belt and then you feel the chill on your lower back. Jacket tug of war all day long. The only way around it is to make sure you have 4 to 6 inches between you and the belly button area of...

Looks fine. After you shed the next 25 pounds then you may think it is too long...

I had a Fox Creek motorcycle jacket that was a mold magnet. I had to wipe it down every day. After loosing the battle for 6 months I sold it. Once the mold spores get imbedded in the leather they are difficult to stop. I think it was just a bad batch of leather. My house is kept at 35%...

Hiked a few miles with my Small Munsterlanders at the park. Cleaned up the pontoon boat and launched it at the boat ramp. Tied it up at my dock and brought the trailer back to my friend's farm. Took the girls for a 2 hour boat ride. Went for a ride on my Indian bobber 20 motorcycle. Split some...

I wash knitwear and jeans every time they get used. It removes the dust we encounter on daily walks in the field. And also removes the restaurant smell from them if we go out to eat. Even if it is worn for half a day and I change into something else like shorts because it warmed up they still...

Another idea is to have a brass dog tag for each pet. Use the top line for the pets name. The middle line for the breed. And the bottom line for the birthday or years the dog lived. Attach the brass bars to your sleeve. Oldest dog on top, 2nd dog below, new dog on the bottom. Personalized for...

If your going with k9 paw prints it should look more like this. The middle toes close together. The outside toes more of a triangle. The ones in your sample sketch look more like feline cat tracks.

I like the sleeve idea and the silhouette. The paw prints remind me of our local sports team the Tigers. It doesn't lead me to think it is a K9. The silhouette defines the majestic animal, not to be confused with a cat.

It is Water Buffalo. You are probably thinking of American Bison. A completely different critter.

Many things are called patina. It really just indicates the object doesnt look factory new anymore. Think of a copper pan that is not shiny anymore. an old table from the 1700's with hundreds of years of wear and stains. After a certain pont, when the weathering is severe, the piece becomes a...
