Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
These are my two Filsons: 257 and large Pullman. I love the Pullman (actually it was my second Filson) The 257 is great but I think that the 24 hours would have been a better choice for me (I like pockets) I am looking now for a 70075 tote that is discontinued. I found this one on ebay 2...- asturiano

SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
I would say that I read an answer to my query on a previous post but I can't find the post. This volume of posts in this thread is overwhelming. Just tried the Suit Supply Solaro, how does compare the fit with the S&M solaro? I am 5.10 and 180 pounds and with big barreled chest. Suit supply 52...- asturiano

Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
Thanks to you and the others for your help. I just won the auction. Actually I just bid a small amount (150) and surprisingly I won. I dont know if the price is correct but one hour and another Pullman was sold for the same price (but cleaner!!!) I had the impression that the prices for Filsons...- asturiano

What is the best value shoe maker you know?
Quite like Vass. Estelles are made by Berwick. Estelles is just a shoe shop. They work with tight margins, so the shoe is very difficult to find at discounted prices. Berwick (like al Almansa makers in Spain) offers good value for money but it is difficult to find a Berwick labelled shoe (they...- asturiano

Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures
I bought a 257 tan last year (after reading this whole thread, but i know is larger!) Should I have seen this review I might have probably got the 72 hours briefcase. The only thing is that I wanted my first Filson to be 22oz twill, so the 257 had to be. But I dont like the storm flap and I...- asturiano

Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread
\ Struck through only means that the dye penetrates throughly the whole thickness of the leather while it is in the drum, I don't think that the dye can weaken the leather/ affect the grain. All chrome leather have always colour added on top, it could be pigment or an acrylic aniline...- asturiano

Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."
Thank you for the explanation. i have a theory for what is going on. This shoemaker makes sometimes a trial shoe on cemented construction. He doesnt attach the sole and he uses scrap leather/cardboad insole. I am tempted to believe that this is a trial shoe and the welt is only attached so a...- asturiano

Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."
A couple of weeks back I posted a couple of pics of a shoemaker attaching a canvas strip to an insole that was previously welted. Majority of the comments were that he was gemming (by hand, but hemming the strip) to the insole. Another pic insinuated a small holdfast on the insole. I have found...- asturiano

Shoemaking Techniques and Traditions--"...these foolish things..."
I think that this shoemakers pegs, but in the hypothetical case case he doesn't do it. Is there any other way (rather than glue) to fix the sole?can he do a sort of blake stitch in the waist? I think he should need to use a sort of insole later. Does it make sense what I am saying? Anyhow I...- asturiano
