    Hey @codex , Thank you for those pictures. This is really strange as the hide is so rich in oils but it looks super dry in those photos. I haven’t seen anything like this yet, even with heavy wear. Could you email me at info@ruggedwest.co? Or better yet, via WhatsApp +447356205300. If you...

    Speaking of… will anyone be at The Classic Carboot here in Kings Cross, London this month?

    Hey! Thanks for your comment. I completely understand the hesitation around pricing, especially when people see “Made in Pakistan” and immediately make assumptions. But there’s a bit more to it, so I thought I’d share some context. While the jackets are currently produced in Pakistan, the...

    Taking all of the points in the video on board, I have started this weekend by purchasing myself a business phone number in hope that I can consolidate all of my different customer chats into one place - on WhatsApp. Up until now it’s all happened via email, Instagram, the website chat. It has...

    Honestly, thank you so much for your input. I won’t lie this weekend was rough. I’ve been sitting with everything, trying to process and respond in the right way and most importantly, I felt I needed to take accountability. Reading your message reminded me why I do this. I’m so grateful that...

    I’ll answer this one here too… When I put an order in for the steerhide, I asked the tannery to split the hide evenly between three colours: teacore black, cordovan brown and what I call “British Tan”. When the teacore black was delivered, it was more of a blackened brown (seal brown, if you...

    That means an incredible deal. Thank you so much for your support and I hope I knock it out of the park for you.

    Hey fellow TFL members, I wanted to take a moment to say hello and address the recent review and the discussion around it directly, with full transparency and respect. 1. Communication: The truth is, in the past few months, the volume of orders has skyrocketed, which I’m incredibly grateful...

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

    What about the jackets should be different for you?

    I haven’t visited the thread in a while, thought I’d catch up over my morning coffee today. Every time I log onto TFL and search for RW I’m a bundle of nerves. Are the responses going to be great or will I be ripped a new one? Today I’m elated. Seeing some of you enjoying your jackets and...

    Hello all, It’s been a while. I exhibited at the Bike Shed Moto Show in London the weekend before last, and the lead up to it and aftermath was total chaos. Sleep? Who needs sleep? A few updates: I’ve been working with the tannery to develop both the black and brown bison. The black will...

    A great read, thanks @KBlake I’m really chuffed that I’ve nailed the fit - it looks fantastic on you.

    So… flat donut buttons are in. Currently working on the first Type 1 for a customer in the States. They’ve never been my favourite, but I’m starting to warm to them and excited for us to try something new. I’m keeping it classic… I really don’t want it to end up looking like a certain other...
