RE: Watches - another OCD problem
@JDelage actually was late 2021 but, after one follow-up in early 2022, I sort of forgot about it and moved on. So when the AD emailed and asked if I was still interested maybe a month ago, I said sure, and then about a week later was told they had one reserved for me.
Moral of the story is apparently to not care too deeply and then maybe it will show up.

RE: Alternatives to good art?
I think the key takeaway from this thread is that, at these rarified levels whether it's Derrick (Steel Flame), Ryk (Starlingear), or Josh (GA), you are buying into the maker's personality, skill, and personal experience. Therefore each brand exudes a particular style that is unique - an aesthetic fingerprint if you will. As @neph93 noted, nobody really does what they do and they are valued as such. I completely respect that the pricing can appear stratospheric at first but many of these items are aspirational purchases that you will wear quite frequently - becoming a part of you.
Sure, you can find replicas and knock-offs out there but then what's the point. Nobody truly needs any of this stuff so ideally save up if you can for what you want.

RE: IHJ-35-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Riderโs Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)
Well after re-reading this thread about a dozen times and drooling over @Joule 's pictures I finally succumbed and ordered the SE version. Now I have a few days to try and fabricate an explanation that the wife will acceptโฆ

RE: Private White VC
Been a big fan of PWVC for ages. Have 5 pieces of outerwear, a few submariner jumpers, and two button-down shirts. All in a size 5 so relatively consistent for me. Only sizing issue is the sleeves are a bit short on the flight jacket.

RE: How Do I Create A New Thread?
Hi @AdamJ , how do I add a new topic under the Buying & Selling section?
The "new topic" button doesn't appear for some reason. Is there something I need to update in order to see it?
