    Badalassi Carlo in cognac (Field et al)

    I don't have experience with Badalassi cognac in particular, but this sorta colour is my favourite, I've got boots in the same colour different tannery (I have some from a Kobe tannery, Tochigi, as well as JFJ Baker "London Tan", all pretty similar sort of brown tan colour with orange...

    Cal-Leather

    I didn't personally deal with Gwen, it was @Gypsymoth82 and I got the jacket off him. I think it was about $200 for a new collar, but she used an old piece of mouton so it was a little cheaper (maybe $100 or so? I don't know the exact details I got it as a whole package from Moth), I don't have...

    Cal-Leather

    Very interesting she just started everything before confirming the price was okay, I wonder what would have happened if you weren't satisfied with the cost, does she just hold your fixed up jacket hostage? lol I also got a custom collar on my Cal from her and it is sublime! Waiting for colder...

    Jackets with fur collars

    Depends what style of jacket, my Cal with a removable mouton collar is very nice, always prefer having a removable one to use depending on the weather. It doesn't get super cold where I am so the mouton is nice just to look cool and protect a little from wind. No downside to one like this that I...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Another visvim entry, is this based off anything legit? Seems quite interesting to me, has those pig teat studs of the Leathertogs/Buco J-31, but on a crosszip. Also looks like they're coin designs or something on the studs. As usual the distressing looks awful to me.

    Leather M-65 Field Jacket (by FCL), anyone?

    What's going on with the FL site?

    Good idea, only thing is may be a hassle if one of the moderators may need to declare it as income for tax purposes. Although they already have a financial stream from advertisements, I'm not sure how much more difficult it would make it.

    Leather M-65 Field Jacket (by FCL), anyone?

    Just did a search and Iron Heart has also sold a leather M-65, this one goat skin, this one much more tailored trim fit, less slouchy fit like the FCL. Also less M-65 details like the original cuff design on that FCL one, also no hood. Rare occasion where I prefer the FCL to another brand

    Leather M-65 Field Jacket (by FCL), anyone?

    Main thing is they are not trim and cut in a way that they fit the most people. This philosophy embodies a lot of military uniform design and also the boot design with Munson last being designed for fit as many people as possible and having a sorta weird lookin shape. M65 looks better and more...

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    If you don't want mistakes, but off the shelf and inspect before buying. I looked at some White's Boots in Stumptown Shibuya, made extremely well and none of the typical QC issues (also you need to fit one of their standard sizes). You will pay a premium though compared to ordering via Baker's...

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    I remember seeing the original Rose Anvil video, I didn't realise Chris did a response video so thank you for sharing. Chris was always very helpful when I first got my boots with sizing even though I ordered through Iron Heart's store. I think Wesco has been failing in the QC department over...

    Another large size 40's Lake-O-Woods, the same interesting fold out zipper hood that @Canuck Panda posted in the Vintage Outerwear thread. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m67746754352

    Monarch wool halfbelt, large size, good price! Honestly would like to grab it for myself but that shoulder measurement seems massive. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m76906931556

    Was Roughwear The Original Manufacturer Of The Iconic Hercules Jacket?

    Leather jackets are one of the few articles of clothing that I prefer a trim fit. The back of the Hercules however really does give a powerful expression though, the shape of the three back panels tapering towards the half belt, it's always given off the impression of a very nice V-taper to...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    These Wesco Hendriks are my most worn boot this year. A big reason being the work leather, I don't have to worry about any damage or be precious with them at all. The other reason is my most worn jacket this year, Vanson Model E, is also black and matches nicely with these!

    Comfortable Low Cut Boots

    Goretex is not durable, that will be the first to go and then you will have a shell of leather that's perfectly good to go, while the liner is completely destroyed, either broken down with friction or delaminated. If you need Goretex, then go for a light modern hiking shoe, if you don't need...

    The grain on the chest panels is lovely. I see you have been enjoying longer jackets recently!
