Heavy weight denim crotch wear
As a side thought - anyone can recommend heavy denim shorts that are baggy/roomy? I prefer heavier weight fabric for shorts so long as the cut is roomy enough to vent. These are my summer daily wear - https://cactusoutdoor.co.nz/products/trade-supershorts-mens- NamoAmituofo

Heavy weight denim crotch wear
Thank you everyone for sharing the experiences - you saved me big $$$ from not plunging in heavy denim! These are the ones I wear a lot - they are more relaxed fit and the hemp fabric is very soft, plus triple stitch in all seams. I have 1 pair cargo, and 1 pair double knee...- NamoAmituofo

Heavy weight denim crotch wear
The heaviest weight denim I’d worn before was around 12oz Diesel, Levis and Union. They always always worn through the crotch after two years or so of weekend wear - despite rest of the jeans still had lots of life left. This almost made me give up wearing jeans as can’t justify the costs for...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Nice thick belts! You could also bevel the edges a little and burnish them - it’s been a decade since I played with leather blanks but think it’s some kind of gum that you apply and rub to burnish. It keeps the edges polished and not fray- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Post some pics please!! Would love to see. I once got a piece of 7-8mm oak bark tanned butt and it smelled tallow inside out - too small for belt but I made a big strop for sharpening knives and 10 years on it still smells lovely- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
That jacket is a perfect fit for you! I couldn’t tell it’s black more dark brown I’d say - perhaps it’s because of the lighting or brown mutton collar that gives the dark brown impression- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I succumbed to temptation and bought one nearly new Samurai belt size 36 off eBay - at nearly retail price once I pay custom duties etc. currently enroute from US to UK. I could have bought one from their UK website but they only have size 32 which I believe is too short for me - I wear 30-32...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I agree this is overpriced - this is what I ordered https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/841761243/ One 32mm in London tan for summer chinos, and one 38mm in brown for jeans and cargo shorts. Leather makers with websites will charge close to £100 for J&FJ oak bark tanned butt hide belt, because...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Thank you very much gents for the informative replies. I’ll see what my 5mm belt wears like once it’s made in a couple of weeks time. I’ll keep an eye out for the Samurai on eBay should one ever surface in my size 34 or 36 if I push it. Like said I also don’t think this beast of belt would fit...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I’ve been looking for good belts on Etsy and just ordered a couple to be made from J&FJ tannery 4.5-5mm hides which are supposed to be the Rolls Royce of belt leather in UK. Not too expensive either £59 each belt. Then for my sins I stumped upon this one -...- NamoAmituofo

JL cafe racer fit pictures - comments pls
Thank you chaps! I absolutely cannot increase my waist anymore to fit into this. Think if I can slim down to 30-31 waist I should be able to squeeze in a thicker jumper ;).- NamoAmituofo

JL cafe racer fit pictures - comments pls
Huge thanks to @sweetfights - this white CR arrived today! What do you guys think of the fit pics? I was hoping I could squeeze in a jumper in winter but it fits just right over a thin base layer - size 32 trousers over belt. I wear 25 sleeves these are 26 so a tad long - but OK if I zip them...- NamoAmituofo

Asked Holly why Pinnacle is not available as a customisation option on Aero website - and got the following interesting reply "This isn’t listed for this style as this leather isn’t really the ideal choice for a motorcycle jacket, but we can do it. If you could select ‘I’ll decide later’ when...- NamoAmituofo
