    Very Warm Insulated Gloves

    Can anyone give some advice on very warm, waterproof, insulated gloves? I bought some thick Carhart gloves that have been disappointing. This is for weather in the 5-40F degrees range. Thanks!

    Has Anyone Seen This Particular Corcoran Boot?

    Thanks for the info. The more I think about it, they are a good bit taller than what I would like. Thanks again.

    Aero Highwayman or Half Belt?

    Thinking about ordering one in brown, probably FQHH. (Also considering heavy steerhide.) It seems from pictures that they are both the same length, with the Highwayman having side cinches at the bottom and the Half Belt having them at the middle? I would like it to be longer than belt...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Thanks for the info. I have a pair of Gentleman's Travelers on the way, so that's good to know on the sizing. What are the pros-and-cons of the 90 degree vs. the cowboy heel? Just looks? Is the 90 degree heel a better heel for walking? Is it shorter? One other thing - is there some place...

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    I've had a hard time finding good Polo type shirts. In the early 80s, I had some Izod/Lacoste shirts that were great. They were a heavy cotton, with a bit of a coarse, solid weave. I can't find anything quite like that now. For years, I've bought Chaps, Izod (which is no longer part of...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Can someone explain the differences in the Baker's Traveler's heel options? What does "90 degree blocked off" mean? Do they only come in this heel? I suppose this is a custom boot, so is it returnable to Baker if it doesn't fit or you don't like it? Does anyone have some good pictures...

    Any Aero brown heave steerhide pics?

    Griff, What do you mean when you say, loses bits of it's parts and small pieces? Do you mean pieces of the leather coming apart? Also, what do you mean about vegetable tanning "not holding"? Thanks.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Where can those NOS WWII laces be found? Are they available in the US? The electrical shrink tubing is a smart idea. Thanks.

    What Kind of Jacket in the Original 1951 "The Thing"?

    Does anyone know what kind of jacket Kenneth Tobey is wearing in the original "The Thing" film, from 1951? It looks similar to an A-2. Is it just a typical A-2, with some kind of emblem on the left chest? (They never seem to fit that well on me, for some reason...) Thanks.

    Langlitz Crescent

    What zipper does Langlitz put in their jackets? For their price, it looks like they would use the best zippers.

    Question for Folks With Chippewa Boots

    I just received a couple of pairs of Chippewa engineer boots. I read online that they are supposed to have a cushioned "Texon" insole. However, both of mine have a thin, hard leather strip - and with no Chippewa logo on the heel inside. Is this typical? Do yours' have a logo in the inside...

    Langlitz Crescent

    What is a Crown zipper? Why is it more desirable than the zippers Langlitz puts into their jackets? (I'm a zipper novice.) Thanks.

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Ah - the weight issue is a good point. I hadn't thought about that. The sunglasses I've been wearing for the last year or so are polycarbonate.

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Dixon, Thanks. I'm guessing these have plastic lenses? Are they optically true? Any idea who makes them? The statement on that page, "MILSPEC PRINTED ON CASE" - does that mean these are actual issue, or just the case, or just that the case has "MILSPEC" printed on the case? Do you know...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Who Makes Good Aviator Style Sunglasses? Many years ago, I went through several pairs of Ray-Ban aviators. Haven't bought any Ray-Bans in a long time. I recently looked at some and see that B&L doesn't own them any more and they are priced pretty high for what they are (over $100 for...
