They suck.
I stripped the coating off them and did some things to make mine better, but I saw minimal change beyond the appearance and I just wear them occasionally mowing the lawn in the fall / winter because they're not good for anything else.
The example you pictured look extremely feminine as does the guy wearing them, so much so that I would likely assume this person is gay.
I would not call them this or say anything insulting to them, but if I saw a guy wearing them I would assume they were gay.
Now a boot like this I don't...
I got that Pendleton in yesterday and it's too big, I think it might be a 90's jacket because it kind of fits like it was made for a small but really fat person.
I will have to see if maybe it'll fit my brother better, because I don't want to deal with trying to sell it.
Damn it ,now I can't unsee that.:oops:
It's like when somebody tells you an abstract sculpture looks like something funny or gross and you can no longer see anything else when you look at it.
I'll have to think about it, but that might have just ruined this jacket for me.
I'm not kidding...
It's only been two weeks, but I've worn them every single day ( except for my work boots ) out exploring on my minibike working in my shop and grocery shopping among other things.
Really just general wear without care or worry, and they're still looking great.
Any smooth out leather would...
Thanks for taking the time to snap the pictures and share them here, I'm glad those jackets are in a museum for others to see and appreciate along with the service of the young men who wore them.
It's going to be in the mid 70's today which isn't ideal, but with the wind chill I'll just barely get away with a flannel and this Golden bear vest I got in on Saturday.
I've bought a few jackets I was really excited about that didn't work out, and a good handful of what was I thinking duds that I'm embarrassed to have ever bought.
There's only one jacket I returned though which I think was actually my 1st attempt to buy a leather jacket on Ebay if I remember...
I picked The " Golden Bean " ( as the seller listed it ) vest up from the post office on my way home from work today.
I know the R and N look very Similar, but there's a Gold Bear right there.
I can't really wear it yet because fall weather is still a few weeks out, but I tried it on and am...
Well I had a bit of a happy accident with the Jim Green Vellies.
One night on the pret boot dryer ( just a gentle warm air that naturally rises up through the tubes into the boots) caused an issue with the glue used on the insoles and made them squeek.
I decided to make some new insoles out of...
I just scored a Golden Bear vest for $53 on Ebay.
The lining needs a little work at the collar, but otherwise the price was right , and I like the color as well as the buffalo nickel buttons.

It turns out both my m65's have the waist drawstring, I just forgot be because I don't utilize it.
As for the velcro on my '77 m65 it's not balding, but has come unsewn.
Some is barely hanging on and some completely fallen off.
What's there I don't think is balding but the hook side is...
Apparently I just forgot about it because I never use the waist draw string, both my '77 Sew Sew and '85 Winfield have it.
I may have to try the waist draw string the next time I wear the old Sew Sew.
I just realized yours has the draw string at the waist which is kind of a nice feature not found on the originals, unless it was an early feature I'm not aware of.
I personally prefer the pocket flaps to sit flat so I ironed mine awhile back, but I don't think I ever cared when I was a...
80's it is I guess,I knew it couldn't be any earlier than that but didn't know how recent it could be.
My assumption was before Camo started taking over much more in the 90's, but that was just an assumption.
That doesn't look too bad, it just may look like this in due time.
Minus the wonky pocket flaps of course, I believe I straightened them out since taking this picture.
