    Anyone ever heard of " WH SHAFFER CO " ?

    I've never had a vest with a gusseted back before, and I'll be interested in trying this one out. I have to assume the company has little experience with making outerwear, so there's no telling how this will fit. I could have probably asked the seller for measurements, but I have a habit of...

    Anyone ever heard of " WH SHAFFER CO " ?

    Here is something I found on one of those company profile type websites. About " Wool Vests, Artificial Insemination, Auctions Our company makes a hand crafted 100% wool vest. We also artificially breed beef cattle, and offer a valuable auction service. " Very odd , they breed cattle, run a...

    Anyone ever heard of " WH SHAFFER CO " ?

    I just scored this Shaffer wool vest cheap on Ebay thinking it was Schaefer outfitters, but I just realized they are not the same company. I'm not really concerned about the quality or anything for the price I payed, but I can't find any info on the company. I'm not sure if the company is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I just can't get this one to photograph well, but I've been wearing my new ( late 80's ) Wranglers today. I'm happy enough with it for the price I payed, but I've got a sherpa lined mate to this one that's much better and one of my favorite jackets. This one had so many stray threads I had to...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Just scored this 80's vintage ( US MADE of course ) Wrangler m159 for $50 shipped on Ebay. Now I'll have the sherpa lined ( one of my favorite jackets ) and the unlined to wear when it's just a little cool.

    Modern codet quality?

    I just got the jacket today, and I would guess the wool is at least 20oz. The tag is calling this a " weekend jackshirt ". It's from the northern escape line I guess .

    Modern codet quality?

    I guess the lining is 100% nylon, I'm not sure what kind of insulation there might be but it doesn't seem to be particularly thick whatever it is.

    Modern codet quality?

    I'm not sure what it is, just a quilted lining of some kind. This is going to be a lightweight jacket which is what I wanted.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I just took a gamble on this brand new old stock Codet Northland wool jacket. The seller made me an offer I couldn't refuse at $47 shipped. I'm not sure about their recent quality but I know they once had a reputation for great wool outerwear. I'll see when I get it, I wanted something...

    Modern codet quality?

    I found this NOS Codet Northland wool jacket on Ebay and really liked the color, before I could really think much the seller gave me an offer I couldn't refuse and I bought it. For the price I payed I just had to take a gamble on it. It's a 65% wool blend which isn't great, but it's fully...

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    Had my first real jacket weather since summer today and naturally the trusty old Woodland m65 was my choice for work, it rained so I used the hood as I tend to do which worked great as always for minor rain. I get that theres this thing called fashion and everything, but to me the m65 is...

    Looking for some info on this jacket

    All I know is that it's a fidelity. I saw it online and thought it was kind of cool, but there was little info with the picture. I wouldn't mind finding one really, I'm pretty sure it's not USGI in any way which kind of breaks one of my personal rules but they did do a good job with the " M81...

    Anyone else still waiting for jacket weather ?

    I figure most days in October will probably just be a flannel shirt and vest, probably not till mid November that I consistently wear a jacket every day.

    Anyone else still waiting for jacket weather ?

    I have been wearing a light jacket most 1:30Am work mornings this summer, but after about 2 hours that done and the jacket comes off. That's definitely not the kind of jacket wearing I'm waiting for, and I'm not wearing any of the jackets I truly enjoy wearing at work anyways because they'd be...

    Anyone else still waiting for jacket weather ?

    We just had a triple digit heat wave topping out at 117°f and it almost seemed cool at 95°f today, it's definately the farthest thing from jacket weather here. Needless to say I'm eagerly awaiting jacket weather, not only just to end the heat but of course so I can wear my jackets among other...

    Can anyone recommend a place to buy some high quality above the knee or thigh high boots for men?

    Maybe a good place to start would be the knee high walking boots from " Footwear by Footskins " They aren't quite as tall as your looking for, but are still tall and aren't very expensive. That's certainly where I'd want to start unless I've had a really tall boot before. They offer them with a...

    Any experience with Footskins Moccasin walking boots ?

    I've been wearing these boots as much as I can the past 2 weeks to assess them, and I am very happy. They're very lightweight and comfortable, the outsoles are very soft stepping & bouncy, and they breathe fairly well. The dense EVA like outsoles may not be very durable and hard wearing (...

    Any experience with Footskins Moccasin walking boots ?

    They arrived today and I'm quite happy. The leather has gotta be about 6oz, but it's the softest most supple leather you could imagine. Like a well broken in old baseball glove. Just look how easily it can form around your toes. There is some pull up to the leather, but not a ton. They're...
