    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    Hi all, I had a doubt about the lining…maybe i’m overthinking about it, but reading some threads, someone have said that the light tartan is softer to the touch vs the heavy strome tartan. I thought only the thickness changed. I want a durable lining but I don't want to have something that...

    I wouldn't touch them. I would clean everything well and keep them in raw brass. It is simply oxide developed with the time of disuse. I have an old “The bridge” wallet remained unused for many years…after the cleaning it developed a patina with use and it looks perfect now without any...

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I also think that where a product is produced doesn't really matter...in every country there are terrible product and excellent product. It depends on quality control and what product the manufacturer wants to have. i like good quality product...i don't care were they are made. Shure i'm...

    My new hiking boots made in france (le soulor)

    ok, that sole seems a little lower in fact, but the design is almost identical (to my eyes) to the Vibram Montagna...in any case is a really good sole, top notch!... I ended up choosing the Vibram Teton for my boots that is similar to yours but a bit softer compound to have a little more grip on...

    My new hiking boots made in france (le soulor)

    Nice boot, it's similar to mine. that first speed hooks i think is there for the best thightness. Mine has it too and it keeps the ankle well fixed compared to the other more basic boots I have. but it will also be due to the different construction quality. Next time I'll ask the manufacturer...

    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    ok, I need to find out about this duties thing. If there was a way in Italy too it would be awesome. Would this also work if I were to directly purchase an already available jacket? I don't know, maybe declaring it at the airport...I have to inform myself... For the inside pocket: ok i'll think...

    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    Thanks for the clarification. I’m looking for a jacket that I like and that I can wear all day and every day making the daily things :) For sports or when I need extreme mobility i have other clothes for sure. I'm quite “flexible”, so i think about mobility but it's enough for me to be able to...

    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    From what I saw I thought Badalassi was soft (like an altra fu broke in leather). I think that it can offer more mobility in a slim pattern like HH. Ultimately I have to see it in person. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind!

    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    thanks to you as well! i've seen your in the official thread, very nice with that spectacular CXL. I've understood that the heavy CXL FQHH is not the best for this style, even if aesthetically it's phenomenal!

    Aero Hooch Hauler advice

    wow, your HH is simply stunning! that brown CXL is amazing and the fit is perfect also for you...**** the mobility! ahahah. jokes aside, for sure this style is trim and the mobility is not a plus, but maybe the thick and stiff CXL FQHH don't help :) i think the HH of TheWickerMan in Kelpie is...
