Construction for our expanded store should begin next week. We’ll be doubling our size to about 2700 square feet. The new space will feature our higher end lines, Saint Crispin’s, Anthony Cleverley, and John Lobb. We’ll start posting construction updates here leading to our targeted completion the first week of November in time for the APEC convention here in Waikiki.

Most people who are here for vacation go to the beach. I have been here in Hawaii for over 10 years and I still go to the beach!
天気が、良かったので！お休みをBeachで！

Thank you to everyone for your continued interest in our Alden pre-orders!
Alden’s factory has been extremely busy and at maximum capacity for some time now. We have been hesitant to offer pre-orders simply because they can easily take over a year to delivery these days. However, due to numerous emails and phone calls urging us to continue our pre-orders, we will offer them again very shortly.
Please check back to our “Shop Talk” blog for our upcoming pre-order announcements. FYI, the next one will include the slip on chukka everyone’s been asking about!

When you come to Hawaii, you don’t have to go to a good restaurant every single night! There are lots of places you can enjoy good, inexpensive food!
Here is my dinner tonight from Pioneer Saloon (one of Takuya’s favorite places too). Garlic Ahi!
今夜のDinner は ガーリックAhi from パイオニアサルーン！Waikikiからは、ちょっと遠いけど・・・リーズナブルで！美味い！お試しあれっ！

I’ve been wearing these cigar U-Tips twice a week for about 3 years now. I’ll be sending them in for restoration soon. I like the change in color they’ve gone through so I will make sure to tell Alden not to polish the uppers when they do the restoration.

When I first joined Leather Soul, I asked my friend who is a Hopi silversmith to make a tie clip for me. Over a year later, I received a package from the Hopi Reservation…
I love Native American art and was so happy to get a one-of-a-kind tie clip!
I haven’t been back to Arizona for about two years and I really miss my friends.
そろそろ、リザベーション行きたいなぁ〜と思う今日この頃・・・
HaHaHa!

(Today is Bryson’s last day at Leather Soul. He has accepted a position at Servco as a Sales Manager. His LS Family wishes him nothing but the best in his new career!)
First off, I want to thank Tom Park and the LS Crew for being my second family for the past 10 months. It’s been a fun, educational, and exciting journey. I will really miss working with you guys and wish you the best.
I also want to thank all of my wonderful customers. I appreciate your patience with me and am grateful that I was able to be your “go to” salesperson. Though I haven’t met most of you in person, I truly feel like we are friends. May our Heavenly Father’s choicest blessings be upon you and your loved ones in all aspects of your lives.
A hui ho malama pono!
