    Two Stetson fedora's, size 7, 1960's or so.

    These belonged to my grandfather who was an MD in New York City in the 1940's-1980's. Both are black felt, no moth bites or tears. You can see some dust in the pictures - that is because I sand wood in my work room, and I can't touch anything in there without it getting dusty. Should brush...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    That's funny, the weight of boots has never bothered me in the least. I wear one of two pairs of White's hunters daily and have done for 15 years now.... perhaps I'm just used to it. For trail hiking they do just fine, like every other boot that fits (my opinion only). For bushwhacking they...

    Western, anyone?

    You're right Joao, and my local hatter would probably appreciate the business :D I'm going to use it as my "go to town hat", might wear it to work now and then instead of my beater too.

    Western, anyone?

    Byer and Rolnick Resistol, bought it from a member here about 6 months ago. Had to stretch it a little to get it to fit - I'm a 7 3/8 and the hat was a large 7 1/4. Between the stretching and wearing, the original sweat band started falling apart. My local hat shop did a wonderful job on...

    Who's riding shotgun? The Resistol Stagecoach Line of Western Hats

    I recently got one on ebay, for very cheap Did a little steaming: It's still a rough hat with a few moth chews on it, but a good daily wear hat.

    What leather conditioner to use

    Your experience and mine are bound to be quite different. I wear the same pair of boots daily, usually in conditions that are not kind to footwear. I've had the best luck with tallow - but I certainly would not expect it to suit the needs of others who's boots serve a different role than do...

    What leather conditioner to use

    I've found two things concerning leather boots. Most conditioners are made up of various petro oils and waxes and all work about as well. I've used tallow as well and find it holds up better in my application. In these days of the internet it wouldn't surprise me a bit that one could get...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    After seeing the boot in that link, I remember having a pair like those when I was in high school. Mine were some kind of German military surplus, and though about a size too narrow I still wore them a lot. I think I paid $20 for them at a surplus sale that used to come around and set up once...

    Techniques for waxing/shining leather wear?

    Like I said, it's not for jackets or nice stuff! I use it on work boots which don't last forever when used for their intended purpose, and I also don't mind them smelling like sheep :D I probably shouldn't have mentioned the tallow, most of the stuff being discussed here is nothing I would...

    Techniques for waxing/shining leather wear?

    I use a bit of heat from a heat gun (hair drier will work too) to warm up the heavier grease materials so that they soak in and don't attract dirt. I'm mostly treating boots, so dirt is a problem. Best material I've found is sheep tallow - a friend of mine sends me some now and then, he's a...
