Picked up a couple of things recently…...
Crown Northampton overstone derby. Made to order in oxblood Horween leather. Really, really nice in the flesh.
Universal Works ‘Peacekeeper’ (basically frog) camo vest. Basically a cotton shell, with the fabric being made in Japan. Vislon zips.
Really disliked the initial colour of this in the flesh so decided to overdye it by hand in olive green using Dylon. Found it really difficult to find any reference pics/footage to how it would turn out, so to help out others , did a quick video on YouTube after had dyed it. Essentially followed the instructions on the packet, with the exception of doing the black, where I added more water than suggested to prevent from becoming too black.
Results came out well (better than the pics suggest and was not patchy at all in the flesh). You can see the colour change clearly when examine the interior of the shell. Stitching and zip retained their original colour.
Mrs was not a fan of the olive (due to all the brown tones in the camo) so I dyed it again in black. Pictures not so great but vest itself came out really nicely imo.
Now deeply regret getting rid of some of my tigerstripe pieces over the years as definitely keen to do some more of the black dye.

My daughter just brought this into the room as I was waking up for work. Now I am going to at work all night itching to open this bad boy- Every delivery from the UK is like the night before Christmas!

That's pure torture. I'm impressed with your restraint to wait until after work to open it. I would've ripped it open right there and then

Goddamn, @Cutlasshound that vest is drool-worthy. Well done mate.

@RoxRocks86 it was hard to walk away. But I know I would have been late for work after I tried them all on. Adulting sucks! As I toil away here on a super slow night….

IHV-26 indigo FQHH is the one so far. The Viking Kitty ticks two of the boxes though.
I had the IHV-26 out after it got mentioned during the recording if a certain podcast recently. Can’t wait for an occasion to wear it. We’re on lockdown again so sitting at home all day isn’t really inspiring me.

Finally opened the package. Super excited for the weekend!
