For sale is a nearly new Freewheelers Journeyman in a rare, Olive Drab horse hide with a moleskin lining in the body and sleeves equipped with storm cuffs. The sleeves are way too long for my short little arms so it is up for sale. This is more brown than green but still has that olive wash to...
For sale is a black, Thedi cow hide belt with a nice silver buckle. Buckle has a strange tarnish in spots that does not appear to be a finish peeling but discolouration. I tried removing it with no luck. I have not worn this much and have too many belts.
Tip to buckle centre - 40" (102 cam)...
Made it to Osaka yesterday and had to stop into the Real McCoy's store again since it was not very far from my hotel. The Flathead is across the street as is Lewis Leathers but Flathead had hardly anything in there (just like the last time I was here) and I have zero interest in Lewis Leathers...
I leave Jan 3. To be honest, 3 weeks was more than a long enough trip and I am not built for traveling solo. I am going to try and catch an Osaka Evessa basketball game Dec 28 if I can ort it out. Next time 1 1/2 weeks will be enough.
I thought I was done with leather and never wanted a cross zip but this Buco BJ19101 J-82 at Real McCoys was calling my name. Someone lend me some cash! If I brought home a jacket that cost $2700 CAD my old lady would cut my head off in my sleep.
Pontocho alley about a block from my hotel. This image is what I think about when envisioning Kyoto in my mind.
Canal near Pontocho.
Met a new pal in Pontocho park.
Been in Kyoto since December 22. I could not get out of that massive, urban hellscape of humanity and infrastructure that is Tokyo, fast enough. I love Kyoto and have been wandering around the Shinkyogoku shopping streets the last couple of days since there is so much to see.
Checked out all...
Thanks Tony. I do really like mine a lot but it was a real ordeal to get things right. I really want some of their competition breaches for riding but they want you to be there in person I think for measurements which makes sense.
I just passed through Nagoya a few days ago and wish I had time...
Wait time is 13 months probably because of all the remakes they have to do.
FYI.. Langlitz Japan does not make jackets, They are made in Portland. Langlitz Japan will fit you and then order the jacket.
My experience is hit or miss. Most times they missed from my personal ordering experience. The one I kept had to be remade and then adjusted twice since the collar was crooked. They spent more time trying to deny that fact and convince me to leave it as is then trying to fix it. Second jacket...
Personally, I don't have to imagine it, because I am doing it.
I came here to relax, get a real feel for the place and decide if I am coming here for my master's thesis or going elsewhere. We all have our own motivations for travel. Yours are obviously quite different than mine.
If I can get...
