If' we're going to be 100% honest i find the length actually pretty unflattering, it makes you look short, it gives the impression your legs are the same length as your torso and makes you look shorter.

The exact dates have left my brain, but i think this is a later tag. The original 70s tage was white and had Vanson Associates on it as seen here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/355674786088 To me the switch to the black label was a mid/late 80s thing, they then moved on to the label we see now in...

To me the most important thing about shoes is to never have to think "Crap i'm not wearing the right shoes!" IMO with a pair of 877 you are pretty much always wearing the right shoes for the job, or at least i have not found a job i couldn't do in them.

RW also uses their own, no vibram branding on my RW soles. Yep, that's what happens when you wear them a lot on concrete, they do get slick and slipery on wet smooth surfaces after a while. It's all a compromise really, crepes grip really well everywhere in the dry, they are pretty slipery in...

Dude, the US Marines had crepe soles on their combat boots in WWII and the Red Wing Moc Toes have crepe soles and have been used on dirt trails for decades! I wear Red Wing 877 doing forestry work and to climb on rooves (tubing chimneys) and they are great soles for both activities. Crepe for...

Sorry i got that wrong, just double checked my emails and it was Whites Boots who said they would do it. A custom Nomad boot with crepe soles would be USD 629.95 I never went through with it as the custom order proces seemed a gamble and i am in Europe...

I have found an unworn pair of of brown ones on Ebay a few years ago (number 2970) and a spare pair of black ones (2989) last year, they are out there and pretty cheap as not "fashionnable"... I had the pair in the pics resoled last year and they are good to go for another decade.

Dude, ham is my second favourite thing in the world, what style of ham you Pimpin'?

I have been wearing Red Wings Engineers with crepe soles for around 15 yeard, they are a game changer: You get the protection of boots with the comfort of trainers, nothing else feels like them. It's all i wear day to day and it's all i entend on wearing in the future. Unfortunately they...

I mean it still looks like you are wearing somebody else's jacket, it's too long and i'm sure that if i had it in hand i would be able to see signs of alterations. You have spent 230 euros and you now have a jacket that still doesn't fit well and that you will never be able to sell for what you...

This still looks like an oversized jacket... I would sell and move on, no amount of butchering will make it fit well.

That stitch has 0 structural function, all it is doing is holding the folded over leather on the inside of the sleeve. I would leave it alone.

Then send it back, don't let it get worst, this is currently and easy quick fix, if you let it get worst and reach the rest of the sleeve it then becomes a larger job where you have to unstitch the lining etc.

Funilly enough my Schott 644 suffered from exactly the same problem! Either send it back for repair or if not convenient do it yourself. Get it done one way or another or it is going to get worst, if the stitch line looses tension up the entire sleeve it will be much more complicated to fix. I...
