So I sanded the black colour off to reveal the shades of layered leather. [...]
Pocket Blowout (updated)
I’d been noticing a lot of front-pocket blowouts on the superfuture denim forum… just like on my Samurai-Geishas. Here are some stolen pic examples which I don’t have permission to post (post a comment if you want me to remove your stolen picture). watchman’s eternals ordo’s eternals polishmike’s sams dickdanger’s sams Admittedly my own pocket [...]
