I simply can't sing praises loudly enough for this brand, and Daniel Skinner, founder and owner! Daniel is a one-man band, based in Orlando, and you get the pleasure of dealing with him 1:1 (nothing to get lost in the corporate shuffle).
His craftsmanship and attention to detail are impeccable! 12 oz. Sashiko pocket bags and full back pocket liner, leather backed Japanese copper buttons and rivets, BEEFY veg tan leather patch, etc. Best of all, your customization options are nearly limitless! For example, I asked for blue thread to keep things relatively monochromatic, plus some measurement adjustments from his Fit Guide, and he did a masterful job. Product page here:

For reference, I'm a slight build: 5' 8" and 150 lbs, and this pair is 30 x 32. I generally order selvedge with a 2" longer than needed inseam because I'm a motorcyclist and favor engineer boots (Unsung House "U-22" and Nicks "Pullman" featured), and prefer the added length to have as much coverage while riding (also provides for greater stacking which yields more prominent roping, honeycombing, etc.).
Like many in this group, I have a healthy collection, and at my core, I'm an IH junkie. I put these RIGHT there with IH's UHR and XHS, and the cut is akin to the 666 (my sweet spot). Props to u/ZestycloseMedicine93 for turning me on to Skinner, and a million "Thank-Yous" to Daniel for his artisanry and for being such a class act great dude! 🙏

Whitesville tee
Bronson chambray
Wrangler cowboy cut slim fit jeans
Truman java waxed flesh boots
These are my new Trask jeans from Stanley Biggs. New to 20's style jeans so was wondering about the fit. The waist seems good. but the back buckle is pulled pretty tight. Also the crotch seam is a bit lower than I am used to.

Hey guys, hoping this isn’t considered spam I’d appreciate some feedback! Recently picked up this vintage (70s ish) Made in USA Lee 101J for a good deal. It’s my first denim jacket and I wonder if the fit works or not. Wearing with Buzz Rickson’s OG spec chinos. Thanks a lot!
The missus and I have flown across the Atlantic to France, and have been having a lovely time in Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg, and St. Malo. All week I've been in my 21oz Year of the Dragon Samurais. Today we arrived in Lyon, and it's bloody hot, so I switched to my Stevenson Overall San Franciscos. I just love this cut, a bit looser than the Sammies, and much lighter weight!
Also pictured is my UES chambray shirt (nice and cool, and prevents sunburn), as well as my denim French fisherman's hat (10 years old now) and a belt I bought handmade in Strasbourg yesterday (less than 60 euros!)
I love it here and refuse to return to CT. Please consider this my resignation letter.
Brilliant and breathtaking place Prague. Also great for beer and clearly a very poor outfit pic but thought the picture too good not to post.
A fantastic leather jacket for a decent price, check Avi Leather out in Denmark.
Avi Leather G1/ RRL Straight Cut black Selvedge
Oh and the famous Charles Bridge :)
I like all the cool little details with the triple stitching, cigarette pocket, and the stitching design in the back of the sleeves.
Windows open, kids screaming. What could be improved? 😉
if you're unfamiliar, Truman is a Goodyear welted boot Co in Oregon. Good quality boots. They did a slight restructuring and eliminated all the fun colors that sort of made them. The do pre.orders from time to time but usually some type of brown or black. I ordered these very quickly. I doubt they got that much of the leather. green baby! My favorite color. You need a link to order. https://www.trumanboot.com/products/preorder-juniper-crazy-cow?fbclid=IwdGRjcARFMmpjbGNrBEUyaGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHuoLIguHNys7pLEfZdDmmYqKiFdqcgT7pFKAeERzUlH5vEgsL5s1zdp1\_N9X\_aem\_HN\_xTD9zlH4fV9hpDss6JQ

The weather has been bouncing around so much recently I’m just getting as much of this layering out of my system before it really starts to heat up. It’s been freezing again the last few days but I know it won’t last for long.
This flathead type 2 has been my daily go to recently. It just fits so well and I love how it looks on its own but also love how a type 2 midlayer looks
Hi everyone! I also posted this over in /r/madeinUSA, but wanted to cross post here.
Last week, my Overdrive waxed canvas jacket finally came in the mail. I’ve been waiting on it to be restocked since November and I thought I’d share some fit and quality impressions since there isn’t a ton of firsthand info about this jacket and Devium as a whole online. For context, I’m 5’10”, 155lbs, average build, and I wear a medium. Photos attached for reference.
I haven’t had much chance to wear it because it’s been in the 80s the last week, but today the weather is nice and in the 50s so I was able to wear it. The jacket is extremely comfortable, and it has bit of a relaxed fit so that you’re able to layer underneath. I definitely think this is a great jacket for spring and fall, and maybe early winter before it gets too cold. This is perfect for 50s-60s with just a tee, but anything under that and you’ll probably need another layer. If it’s above the 70s, this thing would probably be too hot unless it’s extremely windy. The inside lining is 100% cotton, so if you’re someone like me who doesn’t like synthetic materials, the jacket is perfect. Compared to the Huckberry Flint and Tinder wool-lined waxed trucker jacket which I own, I much prefer this one for the zipper alone. The Flint and Tinder has buttons which are, in my opinion, way too hard to button. This color is called “Seaweed” and it is similar to the older Moss Green from Carhartt. The only downside so far is that this attracts lint and cat hair like crazy. I have a white cat and it’s already covered in hair, haha!
This jacket (and all Devium products) is 100% American made. It’s obvious they really put thought into sourcing quality materials and ensuring each item has thoughtful construction. Their products are definitely built to last and I can tell I will have this jacket for a long time. Also, as a bonus, they included these cool stickers with my purchase. If you have any questions, feel free to post below.

Hi all,
Any recommendations for casual shoes? I like my desert boots, and Paraboot Chambords but I want something more casual, apart from Chuck Taylors. I was looking into this low profile sneakers trend but I am not convinced.
TIA
I’m looking at picking up a two pack of Big John’s Original tshirts (loopwheeled for under AUD$70?) but i’m in between L and XL.
Does anyone have any experience with these and specifically the shrinkage from washing? They’re just too good a deal to pass up on the price if the fit’s right
