I guess he could not squeeze "GOOD FOR ONE NON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE" into the available space

Was that the Rivet and Hide Party? I was in contact with Mike one day before the party seeing that he is in London. I told him he must go to the Rivet and Hide opening, was he there?

@Chap

Great he made it, must have been fun meeting him in person. I would have loved to come to party to London but just came back from Japan two days before.

Mike definitely sound guy chill out. Chatting gave me leather beer coin. I like it nice and thick loves the details on it.

Josh’s and Rachel’s knows I met him. Said glad you met him.

Do like some of the stuff he comes out with.

Yep that patch took some heat for sure, and it did not really helped that I was giving it plenty of Obenauf’s Heavy Duty LP after each wash. But no regrets here, it was all in an effort to shrink the denim as much as possible.

Also a reflection after watching the two fantastic episodes of Full Grain podcast by Nick Horween (yes that Horween!) and Phil Kalas. They have one of the main guys at the tannery - Esteban Perez, explaining the tanning, retanning and finishing.
The main point is that every leather has its purpose and the pure veg tan is not really a great choice for prolonged contact with water or high temperatures. The chrom tanned leathers or combination tanned (base is chrome base-tannage and then vegetable re-tannage) on the other hand withstand those environments quite well (Chromexcel was used for motor seals and gaskets). I would love to see a patch made of natural Chromexcel!

A must watch for everyone interested about leather.

@Karol this is really interesting. I agree. A CXL patch would be really cool.

@Chap a grey W?!

[Daniel San]

@Oaktavia
that grey W looks fantastic.
would love to see more color W and arcs.

Hmmm, probably more like olive to match the front pocket lining.

[Oaktavia]

@Chap Ah I see, pretty rad regardless.

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia Maybe more rad?!

I just love any types of red W or arcs that are odd colors. I would love a pair of jeans a turquoise W and a purple arc or vice versa. That would be amazing. Seeing the other versions from the past remind me of the SNES game Yoshi's Island where there are multi colored Yoshis.

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia Yeah man, they’re definitely your colours.

That game takes me back too!
