[hoodog]

Hey @Understatesman for your FCL Roberts, you should add this piece of kit to your edc

 

[Understatesman]

That’s a lot of stuff in the pockets and I don’t see hand sanitizer or a mask.

I’m too lazy to go grab my sunglasses but here is what I got...
Old Gucci wallet (in due for a new one but too lazy to bother)
SpyderCo knife - my dad’s from the 90s
Watch, ring, car key, sanitizer, mask

I carry my late father’s Spyderco too. Cheers!

Nice, my pops is still with me he just moved away but I do have a few trinkets he gave me over the years including that knife that make me think of him.

The Teddy Bear is full of black tar heroin..,
Wooooooooo

 

[slows2k]

a black version was on the officine generale archive sale

Ha, of course. I would definitely have bought that, even though I still prefer navy. Thats what I get for not being on the email list.

Anyone have actual experience with the Todd Snyder suede truckers? They look good, if a bit boxy, and often are included in sales. I like the OG one best, but if I don't know when they're gonna produce it again...maybe looking elsewhere is the best approach.

I know we’ve been through this, but why does anyone need to carry a small knife these days, living in modern cities?

To stab people who question the utility of small knives.

I open mail and Amazon boxes with mine. Plus, I cut things that surprisingly need to be cut when I least expect it, when I'm in my car, etc. Mine's a puny little flipper and wouldn't intimidate anyone so it's not meant to be defensive whatsoever.

Sorry to the cut the knife talk short, but I think I'm having a crazier urge now.

Can you get the body of a leather jacket shortened? I love the look and feel of my FCL Edward, however, I'm an idiot and want to have it look more aggressive by cropping it down to be more vintage style.

Like roughly 2-3 inches or so. I'm in Japan so there are many great leather tailors but is it even possible? There are so many doodads and **** at the bottom after all. I'm down to pay the big bucks as long as it's not at like 1000 bucks.

I used Johnson Leather in SF to shorten a Real Mccoys J100. I get that it's no longer historically accurate and I've forever ruined resale value but I found it comically long so had it shortened by ~2". I much prefer the jacket now. It hits about an inch below the belt now.

We spoke on the phone and I sent a bunch of detail pics and of me wearing the jacket. We settled on 2".
