For those of you scratching your heads over "word",  it's a relatively new text word that kids are using.  It means 'word for word' or 'words of truth' 'or 'exactly what she said' or' 'the damn truth, definitely'. Once explained to me It still seemed dumb, then I saw it used more and more and in different contextual situations and it grew on me and now I use it regularly too.

It's actually a pretty clever word that combines a lot of things into a single message. I identify with four meanings but there may be more

1) Very strong form of agreement, perfect agreement

2) Affirmation of a truth

3) A compliment to the sender

4) Acknowledgement that you are unable to improve on what has already been said perfectly

Yeah, that's a pretty cool word all right. Packs a punch. Now you know.

Bought a bunch of Bison (actually a wholesale client did) and it look just as good as the stuff we have been getting from Hidehouse for substantially more.  Looks like these guys are an Oddlots dealer, but with free shipping most of the leathers are very good deals.

 

When Mike gives his approval, that's saying something.   For reals.

One of the "issues" with people today.  They admit they have nothing to add, but feel the need to comment anyway.  I don't let it 'get to me' too much, but I'm never likely to grasp why, when someone ask a question on a forum, some feel teh need to pop in to say "I don't know".

By the way, where is Tannery Row?  Up the street from Skid Row, maybe?

I don't know we already have perfectly good options:

East Coast -- Damn Skippy 

All Over -- You can say that again

West (not West Coast) -- Boy Howdy

But then I'm old and wear a real Cowboy Hat

According to the Reddit Leathercraft group, Acadia is a new outlet store for Thoroughbred Tannery in Maine.   Every hear of them?  Me either.  Reddit folks also had good things to say about their recent Acadia purchases.

They must be referring to Tasman USA. Thoroughbred is one of their brands.

Yes - on so many levels. Nailed it.

Can anyone tell me about Tasman USA? I've been working with Horween (Tannery Row) and Wickett & Craig, but am looking for other options. How are they on pricing and lead time compared to Horween and W&C?
