I'm a regular UniQlo shopper and I notice that none their new 2010 jeans in this new season have size waist 28 for men.<br /> <br />I'm waist 28 and loved (and bought lots of) UniQlo jeans. A lot of my friends are waist 28 and this means we can't buy any jeans from UniQlo any more. I was looking forward to a pair of black T-000 waist 28 length 30 jeans :(<br /> <br />I've written to them as the shop assistant said lots of people have asked and she said, "write to them and complain."<br /><br />Have you had problems with waist sizes in shops? Size 28 is practically absent in some shops!Trevor Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206562434574338991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-88790873718983505222010-01-31T14:23:38.512+00:002010-01-31T14:23:38.512+00:00whoa ur one heck of a cool person too!

First off though, apologies and further clarification are needed. Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that kudu leather is rare, just this particular batch as it was one of a kind. The leather had been sitting in a shed for over twenty fives years, battered and gnarled and has been made in to these beautiful boots. It was this story that made them truly special to me.Style Salvage Stevehttp://stylesalvage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-30861910382137135852010-01-28T17:15:23.371+00:002010-01-28T17:15:23.371+00:00Actually, that Kudu leather is not that rare. That...Actually, that Kudu leather is not that rare. That particular 'pack' may have been old and 'found' in a warehouse, but this material is available from on of the UK's best tanneries, Charles Stead in Leeds. I make an entire range out of a softer, more contemporary suede version of Kudu. kudu are like rats in S. Africa and are widely hunted for their meat. The tannage on your boots could be easily replicated if needed. <br /><br />Have a look at ours...www.harrysoflondon.com<br /><br />Let me know what you think.<br /><br />K.

I love them all.<br />Percy: Thanks, I've only just seen the Telegraph magazine piece..it feels strange being in the printed press.<br />Brandon Bond: Thanks dude! I have been thinking about these for so long and it feels so good to look down and see them on my feet and yes, I plan on growing old with them...no doubt they'll look alot better than I do with grey hair.<br />00o00: Thanks, the last look was a lot of fun putting together.<br />The Merry Miser: Thanks, I love the mix of patterns and textures of the last look but I agree, I tend to feel more comfortable in more simple lines.<br />Modernaged: Thanks and sorry to hear about your mouldy brogues...time for a new pair or at least a good clean and a polish?<br />Ernest: The Goodyear Welt is on a Commander rubber sole for a more rugged aesthetic more importantly durability. So these should last a lot longer without the need to resole.<br />If Jane: I love the inside tag, such a nice little touch that it is handwritten.Style Salvage Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637953416614454873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-9462893653891268082010-01-25T21:03:42.846+00:002010-01-25T21:03:42.846+00:00oh the boots are amazing!!! just even the inside t...oh the boots are amazing!!! just even the inside tag is great! heheh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049943168027678461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178228248113361074.post-76795912401781550952010-01-25T20:55:13.644+00:002010-01-25T20:55:13.644+00:00Now those boots look great but how do you resole a...Now those boots look great but how do you resole a rubber sole?

Last night was the pretty much the first time all winter I ventured out without my trusty combat boots, and I got stuck in a rainstorm with my favourite brogues.
