    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Why do people feel personally attacked when someone posts "shinki is the best above all others" or "shinki is snake oil, its no better than any other leather?" They're just opinions; they are not dogma. Moreover, no one is forcing you to choose one camp or the other. You're entitled to reach...

    Fly, Icarus, fly! I don't know the details of this incredible endeavor, but man alive am I intrigued! I will follow your journey with bated breath.

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Picked this guy up last month. Been holding out for a sub but I don’t want to play the game so I decided to get this while I continue to wait. It’s a fantastic tool watch with an incredible bracelet. Been very impressed so far.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wattup fellow jacket nerds. Here’s a grainy office photo to commemorate the glorious return of jacket season here in the south.

    Bad Hat Brothers Custom out of Seoul, South Korea. Really digging these joints.

    Austin is such a fantastic city. I dream about Veracruz tacos and all the other taco joints there.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Nicks Urban Loggers. Chestnut W&C leather with honey vibram sole. Ordered 1/11/21. Received today. They sized me in a 10F (with wide bois my sizing from other makers is all over the place) and fit is fantastic. This is more heel height and arch support than I’m used to but I’m optimistic...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks, it was a long 8 months! Sizing seems pretty good. I've got some heel slip but I hope it goes away as the boots break-in and flex. I sent Peng my foot tracings and I think he did a good job. The only critique I have is that I wish the shaft was a little narrower - the shaft width seems to...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Flame pandas landed. They are absolute tanks. Had to use the plastic bag method to get my left foot in. They’re gonna be a bear to break in.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Ya man, its some lux stuff. My pair aren't as dark as they appear in this photo, but they've darkened a little bc I use Saphir Medaille d'Or waterproofing spray on all my suede shoes/boots.

    Those look fantastic. There's just nothing comparable to a well-worn and well-loved pair of boots. No faux-tina here.

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    It does! Hope my jacket develops into something akin to yours!

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    Thanks, @El Marro. I know if I put in the work, this jacket will only reward me. This is my attempt at recreating the commando at half the cost, but maybe i'll just bite the bullet and get one like you one day!

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    Thanks, man! Maybe I'm being a little too harsh on the leather. I'm probably unfairly comparing it to the nicer stuff I've handled at double-plus the price point. I will say it is incredibly soft without feeling delicate. It's comfortable from the jump. I also love the beefy main zippers. They...
