    Red Wing x Nigel Cabourn Munson Boots vs Viberg 1950 Service Boots

    The Viberg anytime!! I've seen the RWxNC in person and I wasn't very impressed. Shoes or boots based on the Munson last generally look very appealing to me but Red Wing's take looks too clumsy and big in my opinion. I also don't know if the tweed lining will hold up well. The Viberg looks much...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    Just give them a ring. They are really easy to talk to. Some companies can be better reached over the phone! It's a very small company after all...

    Hanger for heavy Leather Jacket

    Hello there, Your hanger looks ok to me, although any wide and sturdy hanger (even plastic ones for dress jackets) would do. Since you are from Germany have you checked out Manufactum's range of hangers? They offer a beautifully crafted one in beech wood which has a well shaped neck area...

    Amazing A2 ... but original?

    Andrew, is that zipper/ zipper stitching correct? The profile of the teeth looks like the one to be found on those 50s era Vislon type zippers... What do you think?

    1930's Slim-Fit Half Belt

    Yeah, I know it was a typo. It just thought it was a very funny one!! Hopefully not a Freudian kind of typo....

    1930's Slim-Fit Half Belt

    GREAT jacket! I'm glad that everything turned out so well. Except for the FQHH label the jacket looks perfect. The fit is exactly how it should be. The label could be easily removed if you desire to do so... The leather looks nice and thick. I love the two piece sleeves which really help to...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    Wow, Dav, that's wonderful!! It looks great on you, in fact it looks much better on you that it does on me. That color works well with all sorts of jeans, chinos and corduroy trousers. A nice chambray or denim shirt (as in your picture) makes it look even better. Does yours still have the "Eau...

    What kind of jacket is on the picture?

    Aye, it's a Schott. Thought for a second that it's an Aero Highwayman. But the cut is not boxy enough and of course the zipper is too beefy for an Aero jacket.

    Searching for my first leather jacket……in Japan. Aero? Rainbow Country? (w/ pics)

    I can only agree with what the other guys said so far! 1. You are very lucky to have access to these beauties being so close to the factory. I've seen a number of their jackets in various issues of "Free & Easy". Great products!! 2. Just buy the russet AND the seal version. That will save you...

    Just arrived recent Goodwear Monarch A2 acquisition

    Great jacket and a VERY good fit! Apart from the obvious quality of this jacket and its great number of tasteful (if not elegant) details, I like the russet on this model very much. A good mixture of brown and orange without being too red. Some russet replicas tned to look like a pumpkin under...

    New Aero Bronco, russet goat...

    Sorry Rudie and Dr H. I wasn't meaning to offend anyone. Each to their own. And I have to admit that I've seen a lot of great pictures on this forum of guys wearing high rise slacks and jeans. For some reason the "Deutsche Hochbundhose" et all is not something I look good in. Scott I hope I...

    New Aero Bronco, russet goat...

    Great jacket Scott! It definitely looks like it's been cut for your proportions. Don't you just love the Bronco pattern? Trim and slender but still very comfortable without that terrible balloon back of the 42 contract. Also the body length on the Bronco much more leans towards contemporary...

    Plain Teamster

    Great jacket, great fit, great overall attire!! They absolutely nailed the fit and the tweed lining looks very tasty. BTW: Superb RW 1907 boots...I like them much better than the 875. As you know the 1907 has a true double stitched construction. Along with the more rustic leather and leather...

    For winter wear... Duffle Coat or D1/B6?

    If you don't like the hood but still want a high quality vintage styled duffle coat I can recommend the Nigel Cabourn version. A beautiful, well made, and heavy coat. Not cheap but probably well worth the money: - 800gr fabric weight per metre - very dark navy - real horn toggles - leather loops

    Thorogood Boerum Hill Horsehide Boots from Highkickz

    Hi, If you use Shoe Goo or something similar you will need to clamp the welt for a prolongend period of time as this stuff takes its time to fully dry. As I said before this will work best: http://www.supergluecorp.com/super-glue/-original-super-glue/leather-wood-super-glue Your boot won't...
