Thanks. Yes it’s a shame they don’t bring it back.
Haha thanks but this one isn’t going anywhere (it’s also a size 36). They come up every so often on yahoo auctions Japan.Awesome pattern! Been looking of this color way for so long now... first dibs if it is size 42 and you plan to let go in future
The horsehide Ike I found was too small for me unfortunately. The hide is really something else though.
One is summer, one is winter.....
Dangit, I think I may be headed down another rabbit hole. This time it's pointing to half belts/something long enough to cover more of my longer shirts like flannel and denim. Time to start selling stuff to make space!
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. Great fit !
I personally think, if your hem is a bit slanting dropping from waist down to the center at least the front part, it would look fine worn with even lower rise jeans or longer shirt. a lot more forgiving and you don't need to hit a "perfect" length
