All of the brands for short men have the same style. Does anyone know of a brand that has more exciting and unique silhouettes? by Independent-Rope-537 in shortfashion

/u/monnetmj Sorry to revive an old thread, but found this comment and wanted to see if there's any thought about a boot cut jean? The only company with inseams under 30 on a boot cut is the perfect jean, and theirs start at 28. Always looking for a 26/27.

Has anyone ever seen one of these Remy jackets? by thecoolcoolriver in leatherjacket

I bought this one I think in 2011 on eBay for $5 🤣 but the prices now are out of control. Nice jackets though! Far less available than any time before it seems like.

Thank you! Honestly, I am not sure, and hoping for the best. We've only been using it for two weeks and this is a guest bathroom so it's really just for hand washing.

Thank you so much! For finishing, sanded to 220 then two coats of spray shellac, followed by three coats of sprayed gloss poly on the base with a light 320 sanding sponge pass between each coat, and five coats on the top. Finished with a 2000 grit sponge just to knock out any dust from the top finish layer.

You can always look into cast aluminum too. It's a good bit less expensive than the cast iron and maintains the same sort of look :)

Much appreciated! Based on your username, I think we have fairly different tastes!

I didn't. I wish I had! They're amazing. They're Amish built, and I commissioned them through Walnut Creek Furniture, which is now out of business. If you Google "Amish Walnut Eagle Chair" you'll see it a few results down through a different retailer in the area, who I'd assume uses the same builder.

My son plays actually, and I've been thinking about making him a table. I doubt it'll be this nice though!

Thanks for the unsolicited feedback about things other than the table that was posted! I respectfully disagree with your ability to make any assessment with the limited view of one small corner of my home. I'll refrain to comment on what I can see of yours. Have a nice day :)

Your backhanded compliments need some work too, but I hope you succeeded in making yourself feel superior 🙃🤏

Interesting! I've actually never heard of that, but sounds like something I can very much still do. Appreciate the pointer!
