Thinking this could be a good pack for a carry on, first to be used on a 12 day multicity Japan trip, thoughts?

Good luck with the surgery @Oaktavia I find going under to be a magical experience and I know others who find it emotional... bit like tripping maybe?

Clara and I driving for France today, drop off Chicken with family before heading to USA for Annapolis, New York, Arizona and Las Vegas. Lots of miles to come and looking forward to seeing family and friends.

Cool @seawolf good to have moderators

Trophy, kersey, uhr

@Kasi what’s different in the second version?

They look really good. Could also try Bick4 to condition without causing any change in colour.

New space is very classy @Danny-RnH looking forward to a visit. You enjoy @Kasi ?

@jordanscollected yep spot clean as Graham says is best unless you want shrinkage and marbling, both of which can be desirable.

@goosehd all your ideas sound great to me. Lots of the pros spend significant periods of the off season cross training, sometimes with no running: Jim Walmsley, Sophia Laukli, and Remi Bonnet seem to all give up running completely in the winter and just do skimo. Others bike. Lots of coaches are pushing more and heavier strength training for running, twice or more a week. In an ideal world the off season would also be a good time to focus on the non-training lifestyle habits that could make big gains such as diet and sleep, but for me at least those things are 100 times harder than going for a run.

@nickname a friend just arrived today to Portsmouth from Heathrow and took a national express coach and said it was easy, took an hour and a half and less than £20. Worth checking out as the bus station is next to the ferry to Gosport and then just a fifteen min walk to IHUK.

@northsouthdenimguy nice pair. From R&H? How are your dome boots?

@Mizmazzle good boots, special leather. did you pick them up used? my theory is that cordovan is best bought used so that you can know what you are in for with the shapes of the rolls.

Looks great looking forward to checking it out soon

Wow @Lynne that is an amazing piece of design and craft. Beautiful. Ziggy looks pretty cool and happy in it.
Our pug is 3 years old, his name is Chicken, and we live in Southsea, not too far from IHUK.

@Lynne welcome to the forum looking forward to seeing your work. Also dog coats? If you need a pug to model anything I know one who is photogenic

Stall is big and looks great. How do the preferences of Chinese customers compare to Japan and the West?

Monitaly cap, IH bandana, Trophy leather and sweatshirt, IH 888 UHR, Yuketen.

@68degreesorless would you recommend the Jingumae Wolfman? I was wondering which location to visit as it will be my first trip out there.
