damn im loving that intarsia. I think if I buy another RO leather it would have to be blistered lamb or hammered, cuz those are cool.

Yeah something about the drape on those intarsia makes them look nice, it doesn't even look like leather.

You can host it with imgur for posting purposes.

Are Augusta leather jackets as well made as their shoes?

I'm not too sure- in the past he really hasn't made that many; 1 or 2 for certain stores, etc...

A couple years back there was a leather shirt Pollyanna stocked- it was pretty epic IIRC.

I'll email you the S/S 2012 stuff as soon I get it. I've heard it's his strongest collection in years.

My guess is 4-5k. So... yes.

Some Augusta boots/shoes cost more than CCP so possibly even more than CCP

Well it seems like Augusta is a shoe manufacturer making leather jackets while CCP is a clothing manufacturer (mostly leather jackets?) making shoes/boots, at least that seems like what they are known for. So I can see Augusta charging more for shoes/boots than CCP, the same way that I was expecting Augusta jacket would cost less than CCPs but I guess it doesn't hold true in that regard.
