What does a 10 year old racing bike have to do with mismatched leather?

Are you saying you often buy footwear where one shoe/boot is all scarred up and one is pristine? That seems strange.oh man then some of the footwear i have would drive you insane lots of scarring

Or are you saying that you’ve scuffed them up a lot while wearing them? I have no issue with naturally occurring damage during a product’s lifecycle, merely the apparent use of differing materials in their construction.
Ah, ok.It has

Is that pattern embossed? Never seen anything quite like it.Not often but some of my boots have different scarring and it’s just the way it is. I like the texture and crazy look.

Very interesting...do a thread on these...
No it’s not embossed. They buy horse hide and some things come out that way others come out smooth, ymmv.
It’s carol Christian poell, commonly referred to as CCP. Not sure a thread is warranted on these. I did do a write up on Reddit goodyearwelt https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwe...ed_boots/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

word is they will be making jackets up to size 46 now... getting closer
"Above info deftly lifted form the IH forum"
I know you had been waiting for this model to come around and were hopeful it might work out for you. Sorry it hadn't. Are you going to have Himel make you an Imperial instead?Yesterday, I tried on the FCL James. Very good quality. Unfortunately, it did not fit me well. The 44 was large in the shoulder. The 42 was better, but still had a lot of material in the back shoulder blade area and was too tight in the chest.
And, yes. .. Those shoulders do look too wide and a slight bit boxy imo. The silhouette from the back has caused me to reconsider.. And the look of the half-belt does not help. I'd rather not purchase such an expensive jacket with the hope that the shoulders might eventually become tame and mold itself to me.Yesterday, I tried on the FCL James. Very good quality.

Hey folks, I’m currently in Tokyo, any idea where the best stockists are for FCL?
I think FW does have other stockists in Tokyo... let me see...Cheers @dudewuttheheck ! I popped in to Desolation Row, fantastic place, most leather jackets out of my size (44), very sad, though they did have a black mulholland. Very cool but I *really* wanted a La Brea.
