    Thom Browne Classic Sterling Silver Tie bar / clip

    Have a genuine Thom Browne sterling silver tie bar / tie clip up for sale. Used thrice. Get it for a fraction of the original price here! - Good deal for the classic and iconic item from the Thom Browne collection that I believe was inspired by the Ivy league style.

    Tortoise-shell glasses in Japan.

     Seems like bureaucratic red tape if they disallow newly made items from raw materials collected pre-ban. Presumably the intention for the policy regulating the trade of tortoiseshell products is to disincentivise the trade in endangered species etc, and it's not clear how that intention is...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

     That's lovely. What's the weight for it? Knowing Alden, I'm guessing above 15 oz.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

     Haha. Promised him I wouldn't divulge the why, but all I can say is that it's really not too hard to guess. :) Separately, I suppose there's a dearth (relatively) of good shoemakers in the North Americas.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

     His old prices typically run North of 250k jpy. However, given he is relocating to Canada, Toronto, I've no idea how much he'll change once he's based there :)

    Ongoing Bespoke Projects

    Two numbers from B&Tailor. First a 4 button DB in Solaro, the second a three-roll-two sports jacket in Porter and Harding's Glorious Twelfth. I think my foray into North Asia bespoke is shaping up well. Pictures are from the first and second fitting. Lazy to sort them out :)...

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Interestingly when I raised the question about durability, koji commented that whist the exterior of the kurozan is definitely tough, overall it's less durable vis-a-vis the box calf. The interior/other side or the leather is definitely softer than the box calf.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Yes, that's right. Unfortunately they have new plans in the works and, I believe, no longer take in new customers. Anyways, to the Kurozan leather. They have a number of varieties as indicated in the picture. Contented myself with the embossed ones instead of the handrubbed ones which cost...

    Recent purchases - Part II

    Fascinated by the Japanese' attention to details. Visited Momotaro, UES Denim, Real McCoy and FIL to pick up some of their products. Had my jeans hemmed, and they do it in house with an old Union Special sewing machine.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    All right, I recently went to Tokyo and took the opportunity to try out a bespoke shoe maker. Pics below. Started off by discussing about the design for the two pairs I bespoke - 1 round toe, and 1 chisel toe. Provided him pictures as reference and he sketched how it'd look like...

    [FS Unfunded Liabilities] Fox Brothers Cloth

    @concordia - It's Moss. A bit too much light hence the washed out effect. Was trying to get the mottle out on the green, but it's tough.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Folks, going to start clearing fabrics I had impulsively purchased duplicate lengths of, and which I want to let go as part of my resolution to start clearing my fabrics. First up - few Fox flannel lengths that I had recently acquired. Letting go for ~65 USD/M. PM me if interested (details are...

    [FS Unfunded Liabilities] Fox Brothers Cloth

    Selling a few lengths of Fox Brothers Cloth purchased on impulse, some of which I had bought two lengths of (Yea, I have this idiosyncrasy of buying multiple pieces of items I like). Part of my new year resolution to start clearing duplicate fabrics. Will add more fabrics along the way. Gng for...

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Nutcracker is helluva lucky. How's your bag holding up? I think it's 30% down payment. Fugee is definitely not your first port of cal if you want a new first bag, or have a pressing need. I have a number, so, I suppose no harm. The alternative would be not having the bag which, in my books...

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    Yes, it is. He has a lot of orders and he hand stitches the whole case, so there. Painfully long but he was upfront about it and I was given the option to walk away so it's not as if I was duped into it.

    Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

    After Nutcracker posted the picture of his Fugee briefcase the last time around, I cldn't help but follow in his trail, and recently commissioned a briefcase in bridle and an elephant skin wallet. Was taken through the process by a very knowledgable craftsman. The only downside to this, is that...

    Rory Duffy: The Unmaking of a Coat

     Agreed. Inasmuch as many decry others who offer payment in any form other than through cash, I'd regard provision of services/time etc (if mutually agreeable) as adequate "consideration". Whether it's ethical "journalism" is a separate matter.
