    Johnson Leather Inc Jackets and Repair Work

    After a 2nd bad experience with the same jacket maker, I've decided to try Johnson as well. Are all their zippers antiqued or brass? Or do they offer nickle zips too? Does anyone have any close-up shots of the black-over-brown leather? I'm liking the the M-200L but I've only seen one...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Not all of them. The upper tier Redwings are still made here. A common thing most of the boot manufacturers are doing is listing their products in three tiers: 1. imported 2. assembled in US of imported materials 3. made in the USA

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Wolverine Plainsman Horween work boots on clearance Apparently these have been discontinued so they're half the price they used to be. Horween leather and American made. I'd say they fit true to size. Slightly wider than Red Wing though. If you're in the market for an actual workboot, check...

    What' the Scoop on (Filson's) Wool Vests?

    I'm pretty sure that Filson get's their wool from Bemidji woolen mills. Bemidji makes their own vests, some even heavier than Filson for the same money. Check em out: http://www.bemidjiwoolenmills.com/category.php?search=Menswear|Womens|Children&min=0&more=y

    Bemidji woolen mills - Any experiences?

    I've been eying this coat in #990 gray plaid: http://www.bemidjiwoolenmills.com/details.php?id=bm07_101&&im=bm07_105.jpg 30 ounce material seems heavy enough.

    Anyone have any experience with Schaefer Ranchwear?

    I have a pair of their jeans which I got from their factory seconds page. They're pretty good but the normal price is ridiculous, American made or not. My buddy has their waxed mesquite jacket and it's a nice item. I personally wouldn't buy any of their jackets though because they don't...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I think some people don't fully read the threads from start to finish. My take on Aero's situation is that every 3 months or so, another layer of the onion is peeled and another problem is revealed to us e.g. AeroUSA, Will leaving the company, the hide substitutions. I suspect we're only...

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    I got word today from the South Carolina consumer affairs department that Moye/Aero USA has filed for Chapter 11. Since my credit card company refunded me about two weeks ago, I've washed my hands of this mess but I know some of you are still out a decent chunk of change. If you want his...

    I filed a claim with my credit card company in April '12, about 11 months after Mark initially charged my card. Citi immediately issued me a conditional refund pending the outcome of their investigation and they also asked for more information. All I could send them were more printouts of...

    Help identify this wool pattern/color

    I've seen this in pattern in older overcoats and sport jackets but never knew what to call it. What's it called?

    Briefcases

    Show us your attache cases (hardside briefcases) In addition to pics of the well known brands like Coach, Swaine Adley Brigg, Hartmann etc., I'd like to get an idea of what the lesser-known brands were too. Please, no man purses.

    Atlas briefcases. Anyone know their history?

    Can someone please explain to me how to identify the age and country of origin of these briefcases. I've noticed that some have swivel latches holding the organizers (pallets) in while others seemed to riveted. I've also read that before Atlas closed shop, their cases were being manufactured...

    Did you get scammed by Aero USA?

    HoosierDaddies idea and a good one at that.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    I did not use ebay or paypal. I just used my credit card and had Mark process it. As far as he told me, he was using a paypal service to process verbal credit card transactions. After filing a dispute with my card company, they were quick to give me a "conditional" refund. They also asked...

    I think everyone should go to the SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS website and fill out a paper complaint form too.

    A Message From Aero Leather USA

    Lol, what planet are you on? Aside from a chance to toot your own horn, I don't understand why you'd even make such an irrelevant condescending post. What have you seen? What investigation has taken place that we know of yet? The whole reason people are getting the police involved with this...

    That's exactly what it is, a rationalization. What were Moye's overhead costs? He had no storefront, no 1-800 number. He did have a small website with some pics ($20 a month?). Moye had no employees, nor any upfront labor or material costs nor any stock tying his cash up. Any of his...

    If you're talking about that "1" that shows up on the Lexington County, SC public index search, I don't think that means anything. All searches show that "1". It appears as though Mark has disconnected his telephone now. :mad: What a jerk.

    Cowboy Boots

    I think you may be confusing something that looks like a western boot with an actual western boot. Western boots are lasted, shanked and pegged in a distinct way. Tony Lama makes western boots, yes. If Wolverine, Red Wing or Rocky Boots have taken this process up, it's news to me:rolleyes:.
