This is the smallest belt I've had the pleasure of crafting.  The holes range from a mere 19 to 24 inches, but  Don't let the size fool you.  This 1 1/4 inch wide belt is made with the same precision and attention-to-detail that goes into my custom 1 3/4" belts.

These are a perfect gift for that special kiddo or gal as they are meant to fit tiny jeans or those vintage high-waisted and Freddies jeans cherrished by many a gals.

Hey, just wanted to drop you a note and say I really enjoy your blog. Could you post an update (w/pics) on your MF Campus jacket? Thanks!

Bill

Thanks for the e-mail, Bill.  As much as I'd love to devote more time to sportin' the top shelf clothes I collect, the fact is I'm always in uniform.  That said, the most recent shots of me wearing the Mister Freedom® Campus Jacket is from five weeks ago at Disneyland.

As much as I love me some Disney Churros, I wasn't pleased with these two.  Turns out Del Taco Churros taste more like Disney Churros ... and there's one down the street from me =)

I'm not sure how to feel about this, but it's more disturbing than anything. It appears that a certain Red Wing shop has stolen the union label I created for this blog, put it on a Red Wing chambray shirt and is now offering it for sale.

Red Wing has a long and illustrious history, so my guess is that some two-bit, third-party Red Wing retailer, lacking any ounce of creativity, is pushing out this sorry excuse for a workshirt.

Hi,

I came across your blog and I see that your blog have a logo that's same as my recently acquire Red wing chambray shirt. Do you know anything about this as I've not seen it anywhere ?  Thanks, Sam

Your shirt has the logo that I created by myself, from scratch. Whoever made that shirt took the logo from my site.

Fail !!

Looks like the Research and Development Department of this shop is run by the owner's fiver-year-old kid. Could the owner be the author of this e-mail?
