Any takes on the leather quality of these belts? Or is it just safe to assume that anything 45rpm is quality?

Supergauze shirts are serious ****. The cotton feels really nice. Don't mean to put your wallet in danger, but I'm speaking the truth for the others. Above Loopwheeler in quality (and like triple the price).

I maybe bias(I purchased one), but the sugarcane belts are really thick leather, smell great, look great, and a little bit cheaper too!

I have some supergauze. If you're thinking about the indigo, they also offer a black overdyed indigo shirt (if could be what they're calling navy or maybe its not being offered).

I like the tees, but they require a little bit of maintenance. You have to dry them flat or they stretch out, hand wash or gentle wash them, and the indigo one turns your body blue until you wash it 6 times.

yeah it might be wrong to assume that floppy leather is not quality- but that's what it's come down to for me with belts. i bought a sugarcane belt too- good price and they seem very well made. but that might just tide me over for some other belt purchase as my previous belt ripped in half. haha.

Ahahahaha, now that's dedication.

Has your indigo shirt faded at all yet? Got any pictures?

Yeah, it sounds like a project tee. I keep trying to imagine what the shirt will look like all faded. That black overdye sounds great - I love black shirts! Thankfully, coldrice sidetracked me and I'll be ordering a couple things from him first. Hopefully 45rpm will have a black shirt online when I'm ready to order

I own that suminando shirt. It was the first item I bought there. As much as I like my Sugarcane workshirt, this is a whole other game. I wear it with loose fitting khakis or the pant I picked up there, mostly, because unless you're Steve Earle you shouldn't do the denim on denim thing, or so I understand. But I have thrown it over a pair of jeans and it works. It's the dark color and fabric that makes it work, it doesn't scream denim. I probably wouldn't've been inclined to try that with the indigo blue model.

Black shirts are essential to me. Whenever I see one I like, I buy it.

My companion bought an indigo shirt there. Lovely. Man, does it bleed, as do all their indigo items. We soaked that thing for hours to settle it down. Finally, it was safely wearable. Just be prepared.
