    No. There's a tag telling me what the lining is made of, but that's it. The brand is Deerskin trading post, but just because that's the brand doesn't mean they only used Deerskin.

    I will be doing the work myself. It may be different with some boots but with these it will be fairly straightforward. Cut the stitching to remove the outsole / midsole, trace it into some leather, hand sew the new leather midsole to the upper, then with the boot on my cobblers anvil I'll glue...

    The thing is that there can be no one size fits all assessment standard that people seem to be expecting or something. You have to take into account the price, the purpose, and whether the marketing is honest or deceptive. 2 nearly identical boots can receive different opinions for various...

    It's about time for a vest thread

    I really love this Golden Bear vest, yet another vest that I got pretty cheap on Ebay. The sizing could be a tad smaller, but it's comfortable and I think the fit looks fine. I don't know if there's any sort of name for this relative style of vest, but it's my favorite style.

    It's about time for a vest thread

    This CalCraft was my 1st vest beyond the suede vest my grandmother bought me when I was 5. I bought it cheap on Ebay and wore it quite a bit back then, but that was before I knew what I liked and wanted in a vest. I don't really wear it much anymore because I don't find it to be a particularly...

    It's about time for a vest thread

    Feel free to post all of your vests here. I love wearing vests, they're practical for many reasons, and they're generally pretty affordable. I just got this vintage deerskin trading post vest on Tuesday and it's quickly becoming a favorite. There's a timeless appeal to vests and they're...

    There are YouTube channels I watch and trust which I know are being honest even though they include a link to buy them, because they genuinely believe in the value of them. They are trusted to give honest opinions and their viewers will call them out if they don't. I'm not watching somebody say...

    Does anybody know to Identify deerskin? I don't know if you can tell by looks , but it has that soft supple spongy feeling that I believe deerskin is supposed to have.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I just got in this vintage Deerskin trading post vest in, and I'm very happy with the fit. I don't know how to tell and it doesn't say but I think it might actually be deerskin, being in the company name is no guarantee after all. As for jackets I'm wearing the green JWM again, I wear and post...

    You can't see the whole thing but this vest is pretty cool from what I can see of it, and Paycheck sure wore it well. He had a lot of different vests ( and jackets ) but this vest is the coolest one in my opinion. I don't really know, but I'm kind of thinking it might be a pioneer wear. This...

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

    I love my Wranglers sherpa trucker, but for some reason the ranchers haven't really been on my radar. They're hard to find for under $100, I just gotta be careful to make sure it's an American made example. If I'm getting an import I might as well skip the search and just buy a new one.

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

    I just bought this Deerskin trading post vest on Ebay for $30. The condition is great and the quality looks decent, I'd avoid the center back seam on a jacket but am not concerned about it with a vest. The label isn't Danvers Mass addressed, but it also doesn't say MADE IN TAIWAN and neither...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This Woolrich reversible may not be particularly cool looking but it sure is warm and does fairly well with the wind. If only the zipper started much closer to the bottom and it had a taller thicker collar it could be just about perfect.

    Celebrities jackets

    I couldn't find a still picture of this, but in this music video for Thunderbird you can see a very young beardless Billy F Gibbons rocking a cool leather jacket. I'm guessing '72 or '73, definitely not footage from a live performance of the song, because he already started growing a Beard by...

    I'm wearing the '91 Taylor's Chicago PD surplus again.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The Johnson cruiser and this calcraft vest. The a Johnson mills cruiser is about my favorite and definitely my most worn, I especially like the thick tall collar that I can prop up in the back to keep my ears warm. The calcraft was my gateway vest, I bought it cheap on EBAY a few years ago but...
