Big thanks to @fadingindigo! I posted a WTB ad for an extinct shirt that I’ve been stalking for months. She responded and communicated clearly and thoroughly throughout the buying process. Thanks so much, Katie!

FLAT HEAD SKB-50 Engineer Boots - Size 10.5D/11D
For sale is an out-of-production Flat Head boot that I had sought for years. These came up on the Japanese market a couple of weeks ago, and I thought they might fit, but, alas, they do not. They appear to be new or, at least, worn very sparingly inside, but I don't know the full background on them.
They're made with Horween Chromexcel cowhide and have a Goodyear-welted Vibram #700 sole. These are marked a size 27.5, which I had read would translate to an 10.5D Brannock, although I also read other accounts that 27.5 Flat Head boots could also accommodate an 11D, my size. I can wear these, but there’s no room for inserts, which I find a must.
Seeking $525 PayPal FF (includes shipping in the continental US). I’m happy to ship elsewhere but will have to adjust my asking price according to shipping rates.

FS: Toyo/Sugar Cane Horsehide Indian Motorcycle Jacket - Size 40
For sale is a reproduction of an Indian Motorcycle cross-zip by Sugar Cane. Made with buttery soft medium-weight horsehide. The teacore leather shows substantial superficial wear, but note that all of it is surface level; it is completely undetectable by touch alone. The wool lining is in good shape, with no thin spots or loose threads. The Talon zips all run smoothly. The belt is substantial; none of that flimsiness that you find in The Real McCoy's jackets (which I otherwise love). No odors to speak of other than that rich leather smell. Weighs 4.75 pounds.
