With a little time, I don't see why someone couldn't make that on their own. Leather is cool because it demands the right tools and patience as much as anything. You don't really have to be this crazy experienced craftsman to make something like a bag. Wouldn't need a machine of any sorts if...
Ran into this today. Scroll down for a leather duffel (and for some other obscenely priced bags).

Mayans. FX. Well, folks, I'm afraid we're here. I thought it would be much sooner, so I'm not ungrateful. Two good enough seasons is an accomplishment for Sutter. This season has been ridiculous, and now it has gone off the silly rails like Sons of Anarchy. I'm going to finish out the...
Gangs of London. AMC. I feel I'm safe in saying now that every episode is going to have one very violent, gory scene. It almost feels like the entire hour is based around that choreography. The team is good and make it feel like a dance ensemble. I'm somewhat impressed. I'm still unsure...
Vibram makes differing degrees of wearing soles. I remember their website being helpful. I'd also 2nd that Reddit recommendation. They know their stuff.
I always find this sort of thing interesting. Is it an excuse? A reason? Can it not be an excuse for socially pragmatic reasons? Is it relative to the USA and our obsession with the individual that it can't be an excuse? It's understandable that faith and religion is handed down for...
I have a dream of making a certain anorak out of 2-3 of these blankets. The design is rather complicated, so I think I'd need a pattern maker and seamstress to do it. Nothing I could tackle on my own, and the model anorak isn't cheap. From what Pendleton Mills told me a few years ago, they...
Mayans. FX. I've said many times that I think Sutter is a terrible writer, but I think this has been his best show so far. So far. Now that they're developing the characters and revealing some of the backstory, I feel it is falling apart. As they introduce the information, they don't take...
I'm recording it, but the way they air these things now isn't conducive to me actually watching it. I'll probably watch it. A very good chance of that, but as I've said in the past, with documentaries, give me an hour every week for a month or two. I want time to digest and to research if I...
Gangs of London. AMC. The fight scene and coloration remind me of Into the Badlands crossed with a super hero movie, but since there aren't funny costumes, it looks polished and not cheap. The subject matter really doesn't interest me, but I'll give it a couple more episodes.
Atlantic...
P2P = pit to pit. I find that the p2p tells me 90% of what I need to know. That's obviously an arbitrary percentage, but it's really the only measurement that concerns me.
I think markets for a lot of types of clothes have shot through the roof during the pandemic. Somewhat defies logic inasmuch as people being out of work and supposedly having less discretionary monies. We're a consumer culture. We aren't going out to eat. Not going to bars. Not traveling...
I love patches, and I won't judge the patch. Since this isn't a backcountry pack, there's no reason to consider weight. Weight? If you love patches as much as I do, one patch can lead to many patches and adding pointless weight to each step. I'm not an ultralighter, but I'm also not...
Is there a reason rainbow suspenders were kind of everywhere in the 70s and 80s? I mean more in stores than out in the wild. If a store stocked a single type of suspenders back then, it was almost always rainbow. I can only remember a couple of local farmers who actually wore them on the...
Baby shampoo is a great laundry hack for any items that fall into the delicate/handwash category, including vibrant colors, feathers, and not limited to this fabric or that fabric. Very gentle. Low suds. Comparatively inexpensive.
That's amazing! Every single kid I knew had one of those windbreakers. One of the most uncomfortable jackets I've ever owned. Those things were HOT, as in they made you sweat like crazy. Lined with the worst white flannelish felty material, which made them less comfortable than wearing a...
Willing to go vintage/used? Is this more about style than utility? More about name brand than quality? I ask these questions because that design isn't unique to Filson. I know for a fact that it was either Germany, Austria, or Switzerland that had a similar ruckpack military issue (probably...
