    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Perhaps get it custom made? I'm sure there are cheaper shops in the US.

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    I see now! I will look for stitching like this then.

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Hmm. Then, as I understand, you'd have to look inside, which you can't do due to the lining. I took some pictures of some jackets that seem single-stitched to me, but I'd like to make sure that I understood it correctly. I guess you're right. If they're making 10,000 or 100,000 of those...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Yea, I believe you should wear them every other day or every third day. But two weeks is still a while is what I meant. Also, let's not forget showers if we're talking sleeping with your watch. Though of course there are waterproof watches, but hey... That's too much and annoying in my opinion...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Suppose it absorbs more moisture if you wear it all day, especially if you don't take it off when you sleep. But c'mon, who doesn't take off their watch at all for a whole year? It would permanently fuse to your wrist! That said, two weeks sounds reasonable to see no change in leather, I think.

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    I don't think we have a single brand that makes leather jackets. Most of them are either Chinese or Polish, so prices are gonna be the same as European prices, I presume. Anyway, where I was checking for the jackets, it seems like there are just tens of various weird-sounding brands. I'm not...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Since most mentioned that they rot due to DAILY wear, do you (and Papperskatt) wear them daily? Meaning all day?

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    This guy said he's gonna have leather jackets that go for 100-250usd from various skins on Sunday or so. I will visit him and see what he has... I wonder how I could recognize a well-made jacket. Besides non-polyester lining of course. I wonder if there will be any with non-polyester lining...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Same question for you then - why? Since many opposed it. Just curious.

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    That makes a lot of sense... All in all, I would like to just try it and see how I feel about it. Too bad I can't go to a store and tell them to give me the jacket for a week, heh. Your grandma has the biggest hat I've ever seen someone wear outside a movie or a weird site, haha. This...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Why? Considering most comments about it rotting and such... Which is what I'll assume most people's reason for metal then.

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Hmm, I wonder, the jacket is lighter, maybe that could be at least part of the reason? Thing about black and darker colors is that it absorbs heat, whereas white and lighter colors reflect it. It's basic physics. By the way, the leather looks so smooth! :D

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    General comment: seems like leather is a bit of a bad choice due to easy rot. Something to consider I guess, especially if you're sweaty a lot for whatever reason. Haven't thought about that, so it's an interesting point for me. I wonder how do they not feel their hair pulled, I do, which is...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    Ugh, really not a fan of Nato straps, at least the looks. Besides, most of them have really ugly lines like those on sport clothing, or at least that's what I see people wearing anyway. Same goes for belts, but at least they match them. :D Suppose the nice and smooth material is quite...

    Watch straps: leather or metal?

    I prefer leather, and if it has to be metal, titanium seems okay. But I still don't particularly like wearing it. I prefer leather. It feels better. How about y'all?

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    I had to google to know what capeskin is. It seems like it's used for fine gloves and such as well, seems not very durable. I always wondered if my reason was the same for them stopping with the gifts and comments or they thought that I finally grew up (a few years after they should've thought...

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Sheepshin's the lightest, I believe. The chunky knitted jumper is a very interesting idea. I bet if you were to go out like that in the summer here, people would take pics and post on Facebook, haha. I would like to try that, now if only I had such a sweater. I mean, for curiosity and then maybe...

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Why do you wear black clothing on a sunny hot day? Black clothing make it even hotter! You don't get too hot with the leather jacket in 24-30C? Also, I think jeans don't fade all that fast, especially Levi or Wrangler. I've seen Levi and Wrangler jeans worn daily here for about a decade and...

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Never in my life have I worn a hat, and I've been walking like that for years. Light cotton or linen trousers is nice of course, so would a long-sleeved shirt. Also, personally I have never worn sandals. Shoes. That's what I like. Personally I also don't like walking slowly especially when...

    What do you wear for long walks in the summer?

    Wow... Very impressed. The leather looks amazing! At least on the first result. Today I was at a market and saw a deerskin jacket. Too bad it had no handwarmer pockets, otherwise looked so perfect. $120, the skin was so nice to the touch and looked so good. The making was... A bit questionable...
