    Creed Cologne (specifically russian leather and Tabarome), is it worth the price?

    I was a member at B&B and was one of the original moderators of SRP, but I dont go on either one much anymore, they make me want to buy too many things lol. Im really looking for a fragrance thats very heavy on the leather and pipe tobacco scents. Something masculine that I never hear (this...

    Creed Cologne (specifically russian leather and Tabarome), is it worth the price?

    I dont live anywhere near a store that carries Creed scents, although I may try to find a store during one of my up coming business trips. Im curious about the price though. I have this nasty habit of being drawn to things that are more expensive, simply because they are more expensive and...

    New Jacket....Aero Cossack

    Jacket looks awesome. Why did they choose to use the cotton drill lining under the rayon, was that to improve the the durability of the rayon lining?

    Saddleback Leather

    Im fairly happy with the bag although the way it is tanned and the process used that is designed to make the bag look aged quickly really gets on my nerves. All the details are there on the styleforum posts along with some questions from some other members.

    Anybody Recommend a Maker: N3b Parka US Air Force?

    I got an N3b from spiewalk and sons sold by USwings several years ago and its great. I have no complaints whatsoever. Tough as nails. I think I paid around $109.00, but it was a closeout as I recall.

    Custom Leather

    You also have to look at the style you want. For instance LW may have great leather, but Stuart will not alter certain designs under any circumstances. I like flight style jackets and he is just a pain in the ass to work with, I tried once, it was pointless. He is easier to work with on...

    Where do you order/buy from?

    Aero as well. Langlitz looks interesting as well, but Aero knows my tastes and measurement requirements so well, Im reluctant to go anywhere else, even with the horrible exchange rate.

    Custom Leather

    If you want "perfect" and you need custom. Id go directly to Aero in Scotland. Other manufacturers Ive contacted either charge a significant premium for custom work (ie 50% additional) or they just arent setup to efficiently handle customer orders. Although Ive been hearing more and more...

    vintage horsehide

    US-A emailed me last week and told me they dont work with hides heavier than 3.5oz. They dont consider that to be leather suitable for use in garments. I was pretty bummed, but Im looking at other manufacturers, or I'll just stick with Aero. Let me know if they tell you otherwise.

    LOST WORLDS - Discovering some GREAT leather!

    LW jackets are really nice, top quality, great jackets. I think their standard pricing is nuts. *****BARTENDER NOTE: Please keep any defamation of character out of the public arena - thanks******

    vintage horsehide

    I know they dont use anything over 3.5 oz in any of their hides, so I know its not more than that.

    Square toe harness, cowboy, or engineering type boots??

    I dont wear animals that I dont feel are killed in a sustainable and efficient way and/or that are used in their entirety. Sharks make that list for me.

    Square toe harness, cowboy, or engineering type boots??

    I have never tried wesco. When I was needed over engineered boots that were required for jobs I had held in the past, I thought about them. But found red wings and loved them. Since I no longer need steel toes or boots that will last through extreme duty, Ive started to really enjoy...

    Square toe harness, cowboy, or engineering type boots??

    I have those boots too. I like them, but they are so much heavier than frye boots and I wasnt impressed with the thickness of the hide. The buffalo scratches and scrapes so easily on my boots and I can see the natural hide color. I still wear them, but I need to have the rubber heals replaced.

    Linings

    You could always consider a shearling body and insulation in the arms of something else. I like shearling because it if I end up sweating, I dont get cold later, it doesnt smell, and if Im wet, it dries quick.Plus its like down. When Im movine a lot, it allows air to move so I stay warm but...
