So I have my Tokyo shopping cut out for me later in the week, but I’ll be in Kyoto for the next two days.

Any recs? Clothing or otherwise? Staying with a friend who knows the city well but he’s not into the stuff in this here thread. Thanks!

Checked out Mindtrive. The Cornelian Taurus bags were pretty slick.

How is the leather - pretty close to Guidi?

Not really. Shinier, thicker and more rigid (in a good way). I wish they had one remotely practical that I could justify. But I’m on the Shinkansen to Tokyo and I’m sure I will succumb to something.

Nice, and I know the feeling. Though what I actually could use is a leather backpack.

That’s pretty funny. That’s what I was trying to convince myself that *I* needed.

But I just picked up a new Porter x Tokyu Hands carry-all. That, I actually needed, and it even slips over my suitcase’s handle. https://hands.net/goods/2430001766946/

Sorry to go OT.

If you are not in a hurry, a nice project for me in the next few months would be to make a special one for you.
too busy now, but this would be good............

It's getting warmer so the hunt isn't as urgent anymore but still looking for what amounts to tall combat boots that fit this "artisanal" niche. No zippers. Basically imagine some HH Brown/Corcoran/WWII Impressions jump boots, but in Guidi leather or some other high quality leather.

LOL,
what exactly is the nature of your problem?
the man said he is interested in a backpack
We make backpacks and I told him give it a few months i can make one to his liking
what problem is that for you.......you want me to tan your skin to make it?

I don’t even know what the last part of your comment means.

Was just pulling your leg, guess we can’t joke around here anymore.
