There is a new brand out of Austin called Chisos (after the mountain range in the Big Bend region in SW Texas near the border, magnificent, by the way).

I got myself a pair of Black #1's and they are very comfortable
Superb craftmanship too
I now llive in Texas where the weather is super hot 8 months of the year and warm the rest of the time. Should I get this one or the 21oz model in order not to suffocate when I'm at a red light or a slow moving situation under the sun?
what is the best way to waterproof those?
We're entering the rainy shitty season in Paris and I want to make sure my kacket is going to last and that I wont get soaked
thanks
OK you Iron Hearters, this Saturday's All Blacks - Lions is a HUGE game
Lions have a shot at winning the series
I've watched all the games of this tour, skipping work when necessary
I'm a big AB fan and usually feel pretty confident, but this time, I'm kinda biting my nails already.
I was in New Zealand with Sly & Robbie and Bitty McLean for the Raggamuffin Festival and took a couple days off to visit the area around Auckland. I also had my left calf tattooed. 5 hours, was 9:30 when we finished and the drive back to Auckland was 3 hours or so. I was so tired that the guy invited me to crash at his pad and leave in the morning. That was soooo cool. Great experience.
Now that you live in San Antonio, Mike, you really should make a trip to Little's Boot Company. They have a really impressive showroom filled with custom pairs they've done over the years. It's kinda overwhelming, actually.
and they are GREAT people
I have several pairs made by Dave Little in San Antonio

1 magnificent pair made by Lee Miller from Texas Tradition in Austin. so beautiful I am leery of wearing them!
they dont have a website but if you google them, you will see what they make.
I also have a couple pairs from Heritage in Austin

Heritage makes ready to wear while Lee and Dave make bespoke boots. Lee takes more than a year to deliver, while Dave takes about 3-4 months.
Believe me, the wait is well worth it. So if you happen to be in San Antonio or Austin, do take the time to visit their stores and prepared to be totally amazed and forget about Lucchese.
The whole fucking FIFA should be disbanded and liquidated. Let some new organization emerge and run the world cup. Probably under the aegis of Coca Cola and other major sponsors.
Maynard, the Aussies are the greatest in League Rugby and watching the NRL is spectacular. Just a suggestion soi you dont get frustrated so often when watching the AB's tear a new one into 97% of their opponents
Go Blacks
but if they lose, Australia is a great team and the only one that deserves to win the RWC

Hi
Im in Tokyo for a few days with Sly & Robbie and Johnny Osbourne and I'd like to know where to buy the best looking cafe racer type of leather jacket in RED leather, very soft and supple leather. I have aeroleather jackets and love them, but this time I'm looking for something much lighter, butter soft and RED!!!
What are THE places to go to?
Thanks
Any member of this forum living in Tokyo?
If so, email me guillaume.bougard@gmail.com and I'll invite you to one of the shows at the Blue Note this coming October.
