Footwear to go with our jackets
I second this. I know some of them. But I’m old and not on Instagram and apparently that’s the way to order these days. My fiancé is on and I could hijack hers for the day but having some good background info before jumping in; would be super appreciated!- dannyk

Biker jacket
Yeah the actual “fit” is fine as you say kinda used the wrong words. The proportions of the jeans, belt and jacket just don’t flow together well.- dannyk

Footwear to go with our jackets
Maybe I am? Haha. Got ya. That’s disappointing about them. I mean they look great for the price and I currently own no shinki so I thought maybe these would be a great entry. I’ll reconsider which leather now. Thanks.- dannyk

Thanks brother. Definitely considering Benzein Chelsea in shinki (teacore) was it you that had that pair? Well, same as jackets if you ever want to sell/trade I’m calling first dibs! Ha- dannyk

@Jin431 weve recently discovered were about the same jacket size of ever you want a sale/trade. Any chance we’re the same shoe size? Depending on last and construction I range 7.5 in huge lasts like Iron Rangers to 8-8.5 in most other boots. I mean I’m just saying wink wink nudge nudge haha- dannyk

Biker jacket
Paul and Joe from The Clash loved biker jackets and engineer boots. A cool side story. Paul was an “artist” who went to art school before joining the band. He did a lot of clothes design, backdrops, and general artwork for the band. Quite a few years ago now he went back to his first love of...- dannyk

Custom Shearling Racer by Thedi
Wow this is so different and interesting. I’ll be honest not as they say “my cup of tea.” Or maybe it’s so new and different I just can’t picture myself in it....yet. I’m sure the TFL effect will kick in and I’ll be wanting one soon ha. But regardless wear this with pride; definitely a standout...- dannyk

What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)
Because there is no discernible difference. Horsehide has a tighter fiber structure which theoretically makes it slightly more abrasion resistant and water resistant. But to the eye, hand, touch, look; they are almost always identical. And 90% of any difference is tanning method and finish. Any...- dannyk

What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)
As someone mentioned even within the same batches there can be considerable deviation. Leather is the living skin of individual animals. One way to think is say you have a twin, or best friend who lives next door. You’re the same age, growing up in the same environment, eating basically the...- dannyk

“An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy
Yup I know you and I have had this exact conversation before. There’s many people obsessed with accuracy; and because of that many brands across the US, Europe and Japan advertise their accuracy. Or heavily push terms like mil-spec. When it comes to mil-spec that means sh*t. The military needs...- dannyk

Footwear to go with our jackets
Oh I know that’s what I am. I was lucky; my wallet was not ha. I was afraid I’d have to go down to 7.5 which I had to do for my red wing IRS and Blacksmiths but fortunately for these 8 works. But after I grease them up real good and wear them around I will do a proper write up for anyone curious...- dannyk

Footwear to go with our jackets
I went half size down and got a perfect fit. Obviously different for everyone but should be a decent guideline. Just got them and haven’t worn them so no full review as a warning for anyone who grabs them. As of a good once over and fit test I like them an awful lot for the price. But that may...- dannyk

Footwear to go with our jackets
Only tried them on for a minute and gave them a good once over so far. So I’m sure in the next few weeks I’ll have a much firmer analysis of them. Especially after I grease them and start kicking around town in them. I am really pleased with their overall look though. They are a fairly to very...- dannyk

Footwear to go with our jackets
I’ve wanted a very accurate version of Type 3 Service Boots that weren’t just accurate but could also be daily wearers; or able to take at least a bit of a beating. While also not being over the 300 dollar range; because like WW2 soldiers I plan on dubbing them. Wouldn’t want to spend too much...- dannyk

Parkhurst Allen Natural Dublin Sz. 9
These are firsts; or rather were. They are 2-3 years old now. Simply from sitting in a closet and going through a move they are not absolutely perfect anymore. But that’s why I’m charging 175 and not 298 as they go for new. Size wise they may run close to TTS. I own Red Wing Iron Rangers and...- dannyk

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
Very true about seeing a flawless performance. But that’s where the marriage of heart/emotion plus technicality must meet. If I hear a few bum notes but see a performer/band ripping the stage up, running around, getting fired up, just lost in the moment those notes don’t bother me. I’d rather...- dannyk

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
I have a thought on This and it is slightly off topic but also directly related to this convo. Because it’s expectation and also what you’re paying for. For example when I buy a Vanson I expect tough as hell and capable of riding in. If I were to buy a Himel at his prices I would expect close to...- dannyk

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Something a little different tonight.. Schott leather trim peacoat, an 8 dollar corduroy sport coat from Goodwill, and the Canadian Combat Boots I picked up a few weeks ago from the local Army/Navy Surplus. My fiancé and Is 4th anniversary and we haven’t been out in ages due to Covid. Going out...- dannyk
