@txwoodworker @flipstah given Dack's history of exotic leathers, I'd say that's full camel.
also, I'd post it in the Canadian Shoes thread. they'll get a kick out of it i'm sure!

I always thought that anything “grain” genuine leather was stamped

 

[goatamous]

I took it as full grain instead of top grain / embossed

?‍♂️ ?‍♂️

In the end, basing it off what i've seen with Dack's shoes. Never seen the belts (or the Dack's camel shoes, for that matter)

A friend of mine has large rubies that were apparently part of expedition stuff his archaeologist grand-father bought on a trip, he has no idea what to do with very large rubies, asked me, figured you guys were my best resource to answer that question.

Edit: Take a trip to NYC to dump them?

Yeah Dacks doesn't **** around .
I've even seen Kangaroo and Shark skin from them.

 

[flipstah]

I've dealt with Dacks sealskin and kangaroo loafers. So I'm banking it's real but if not I'm still keeping it.

Also see Spiderman if you haven't yet. Endgame first; then Spiderman

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, it's been a super busy weekend. I believe it's a 50 though. I can double check in the morning though.

I’d love to see full pics of that. It looks craaaaazy.

I’m assuming a furniture dolly is out of the question so something like this would probably be your next best option:

This makes me very happy.

Where are these shops? Going to have to find them.

Recent finds...

The two front jackets are bespoke and super nice. Unfortunately, I don't know the tailor but believe it's someone local. The royal blue linen is an incredible color, but does have some staining around the collar.

Very expensive brand:

Silk robe for my wife:

5x pairs of Jacob Cohën and the plaid pants are a bust because I found a couple of small holes after I shot them:

Vintage Adidas pants. Vintage guys, is this the type of jacket people want? I don't know, but it was cheap and I thought it was cool. Let me know if anyone wants it, size L but seems smaller. Few stains on the front:

I just grabbed that canvas and leather bag quickly because it was cheap and I will use it. Didn't have a tag and I originally thought it would be some cool brand. After I got it home, I saw it was Esprit. Cool anyway.

Going from it, the black briefcase is an uninspired Hugo Boss that was €2. The brown bag is awesome, completely anonymous made in Italy. Probably from one of the ubiquitous leather bag shops in any Italian city.

The Fendi is fake, I think? Terrible materials, but I've had a number of '80s Fendi bags that were made with terrible materials. The tag and lining seems legit, but it's not leather trim and the zipper is nylon. The hardwear is stamped, but poorly. Any opinions?
