    30s Grommet Wool Cossack Jacket sz ~40

    I agree, it's stunning, and would make a great piece for a modern company to reproduce.

    Akubra Overload

    I had a tighter pencil curl put on my Sombrero, perhaps that's an option? I did have the brim cut down slightly as well, and of course the crown is higher than the example in your picture. I've seen pencil curls on bound edge western hats, shouldn't be a problem.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    It seems no one has got the collar colour just right either, the earthy brown of the originals is so much nicer than the pale tan of most copies, and goes better with the original thread colour, which is also so much nicer on this jacket than the brighter yellow and orange of some copies.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Looks great, fits you well ! The original Storm Rider is such a perfect design, the V-shaped cut is so flattering and it just looks so cool, and is a very practical jacket for between seasons. I picked up a used early '70s example on Etsy, it turned out to be virtually unworn and and in...

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    I appreciate the comment, but respectfully have a different view of things. As a preface, I was mentioning this corollary effect as a way to take some solace or something positive from the IH and similar situations, not claiming it validates their strategy nor excuses it. That said, I'm...

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    One good thing about the way IH maintains their high prices is that resale value stays high, so you can easily sell on anything that doesn't fit, that you grow out of, or want to flip for any reason, even with some wear. I have no problem with companies that make high quality products and...

    Freenote Cloth - Labour Day Sale heads up, and (long) appreciation thread.

    IME all of their fabrics break in very nicely and with just a bit of wear, I always cold wash everything before wearing which helps loosen up the fabrics and also to let the garment hang better to llok good from first wearing. My most recent buy is my 2nd pair of Worker's Chino in rust, great...

    Schott leather Pea Coat – sz 42

    I can't believe this is still here, if it was a bit smaller I'd be all over it.

    Explain the 3-Sphere to me.

    This to me smacks of the kind of theories that are always arise when a new technology is invented or discovered, or a new unrelated phenomena is discovered, to try and apply it to other theoretical sciences. It's akin to the behavioural theories that followed the discovery of conditioning, as an...

    High Rise Jeans

    What scares me is advertising that you are carrying an illegal and deadly weapon. If you need to carry brass knuckles, you really need to be discreet about it.

    High Rise Jeans

    I never liked low rise jeans, from the way they feel low on my hips to the way they made my already short legs look shorter, to the way the don't flatter my body shape, athletic with muscular legs and butt from a life skiing and hiking. Mid to high rise feel right on me, and I'm slim enough be...

    The Rite Stuff Atlas Sage Green Chambray

    Thanks very much for taking the measurements. Unfortunately it's too small at the chest for me, even for a fitted look. Thanks anyway, GLWTS, great price on a beautiful shirt !

    The Rite Stuff Atlas Sage Green Chambray

    Hi, what a beautiful cut and colour ! Do you ship to Switzerland? I'd cover the costs, of course. If so, may I ask you to take exact measurements just below the armpit, and if possible another one 2" below that? I'm usually between M and L and the chest measurement is the make or break one...

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    First thing I noticed when I saw the pictures, had to go back and confirm they were Viberg pix and not from the seller. They literally have the identical crease, and these are studio shots of what I assume are unworn boots. Perhaps Viberg should give more information about what to expect with...

    Freenote Cloth - Labour Day Sale heads up, and (long) appreciation thread.

    I also keep my eye on their sales and end of line discounts, and also on Grailed and eBay, I look for nearly new items, knowing the sizing will work no matter the piece really helps. My favourites are the Workers Chinos and the waxed Rider jacket, the chinos are heavyweight like duck canvas but...
