I didn't order from Mushmans directly, but I did acquire a jacket from them on the second-hand market. The shoulder, P2P, and sleeve length where within 0.25" of the posted dimensions on their web site, and the body length within 0.5". Given tolerances I would consider this to be acceptable...

Woo-hoo, Jacket 2. The Blurred Clothing Co:

Just your average C:

Thanks, Del! I have a Vanson Denver with fringe I need to break out now that leather jacket weather is (sort of) here. Perhaps a candidate for your next collaboration with Vanson in that beautiful Cognac Badalassi if you can convince them to dig it out of the archives? ;)

A wonderful week is wrapping up with 70s and extreme wind today, so a good day for denim from Lee Japan: It'll be 20s and snow tomorrow, so back to wool.

The Mushmans from the other day reminded me that I had a duds debt that I owed to Del, so this one's for you @Mrfrown. Desert Suedes by Taylors' of California (even though it's not suede):

Thanks, Will! I also have the matching SDA Type 1. Seller sold them together as a kit, although I'm not sure I'm willing to go full blown Canadian Tuxedo. Might be too much rain.

So I think the the denim soak turned out pretty good, so today was a break-in day: But let's be honest, the denim was just the side dish. Mushman's Rio Grande limited edition white version. I've had this jacket for a few weeks now and have come to the conclusion this is pretty much end game...

Thanks! I should have changed into a western shirt, but I was busy with my projects and then had to get the kids at the bus stop and ran out of time.

Busy day working on some winter acquisition projects. Soaked and line dried my first pair of Japanese unsanforized denim, so fingers crossed as this is my first foray into this world. Then my Bates leather pants got some much needed @ton312 love cream, a.k.a. Urad. Work still in progress...

LW wool: Projected to be great jacket weather this upcoming week, so hopefully will be able to debut some stuff picked up over winter.

CXL on a damp and dreary day:

Great jacket and fit. Congrats!

I've never had the need to communicate with them, but I suppose you could. They offer a live chat feature and I'm sure there's an email option as well. The workflow is pretty straightforward. I don't have anything cooking currently as I just received my last shipment yesterday, but I'll try...
