Thanks all, One curveball, she decided to go with a thicker stitch than first decided on. She felt it helped with making it more masculine. She didn't elaborate as to whether it meant a thicker string, or just a wider stitch.

I've owned a strange vintage 18k rose gold Omega watch that I picked up in 08 that never got much wear. Primarily due to my freak ability to break off crowns on the damn thing. After the third crown in less than 16 hours of wrist time,...

I've had mine altered extensively. It was simple, even though it was quilted as well. It hasn't affected the waterproofing at all, I've worn it quite a bit. I've had the sleeves narrowed slightly, the waist taken in, and I've had the...

Nice deal. I bought this exact bag in this shade. If it were the tan one, I'd likely snap it up. It pulls double duties at times, occasionally as a dopp kitt for traveling, other times I'll toss some fruit and nuts etc in to take to...

Coming back from my first trip to Hawaii/Maui the day before, but I'll keep it in mind. I missed the last two of these meet-ups, I'm always down for a unique better beer bar. Can we design a beer label with Drapist Ale? That would be...

The post above answers my question as to whether the leather can take a polish. I've seen and greatly admired some beautiful sueded gator belts. The "raw" (?) finish of elephant seems to look similar albeit rougher. I would admire it...
