    Quick Book Review: Take Ivy, The Trad Bible ...

    Thanks. It's pretty interesting and a fun book to have, but I don't think it actually teaches us much that we didn't already know about the topic. Then again, now that it's so cheap I found it easy to justify getting a copy. ;-)

    Review: Alden Repro "Indy" 405 Boots ...

    LOL! ;-) Yes, the leather lining was an upgrade, part of the collaboration between Alden and Leather Soul. I did put some mink oil on them yesterday, which darkened them a bit.
