    Cowboy Boots

    Texan - Thanks for the explanation - I had never heard that name before. I wear boot cut jeans exclusively, and let me tell you, it is a much abused term. The majority of the "boot cut" jeans on the marketplace are nothing more than straight leg jeans that were named "boot cut" for marketing...

    Cowboy Boots

    There are some great posts here in this thread - Texan, I have particularly enjoyed your thoughts. By the way, what are Cavalry cut Levi's? 517's or Tex Twill? I grew up in New York state, in a small town 2 hours north of NYC. I grew up in the woods, and spent much of my childhood hiking...

    My New Insurrection Horsehide Aero 1930s Half Belt

    That's a great looking jacket - I personally like my sleeves on the long side. I am jealous - I have tried one on, and that is a fantastic jacket. Congratulations.

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Johnny - If I could get a pair of Iron Rangers with the William Lennon style triple leather soles, I think I'd be in heaven... :) As William Lennons go, the thin heel will wear out relatively quickly - there is also some variation in the thickness of the rubber half sole tht you can get on...

    Insurrection Horsehide Aero 1930s Half Belt Jacket

    No pics or purchase, but I did try one on when I visited Seattle. The jacket is superb - you should be very pleased with it. The horsehide was much thicker than the HH on my own Aero jacket. Wade sizes them a little tight, but it will look superb. The leather will stretch and break in as...

    RRL Engineer Boots 13D - almost new, $400 shipped!!

    Hey all, I bought these RRL Engineer boots about a month ago, and I liked them so much that I bought another pair. Now I have realized that I don't need two pairs, so these are up for sale. They are a size 13D, and as others have noted, they fit a little narrow, and when new, the shaft...

    Another Sweet Aero on eBay

    Wade, do you remember if this one was cut to custom measurements, or if it was based on standard measurements with longer sleeves?

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I just noticed the question you asked here Old Crow - I did dye the midsoles on my Wesco's. When you ask Wesco for a natural midsole, they give it to you exactly that way - just a raw sanded leather finish. On the other hand, White's colors their "natural" midsoles with a light colored...

    My mind has just EXPLODED

    I'm sure the cost of that jacket has something to do with how much they have to pay Ewan McGregor to endorse - I'm sure the number must be huge since they seem to have dressed him as a woman: http://www.belstaffgroup.com/belstaff.com/men/100,en_US,sc.html

    John - are you buying the current production ones? I will be curious to hear your impressions either way. I like the look of the new two tone ones, but not the buckles. The heels are a little higher too. I found this comparison of the two styles the other day: Scroll down to post #11130...

    Nick's Boots Nor'Wester 8" size 12.5 - 13D - like White's Smokejumper!

    Sorry these went to eBay and were sold a while ago. Same problem as before - I can't edit the original post to reflect this.

    Nick's Hot Shot Boots 13 D - new, like White's Smoke Jumper

    I apologize - these are long sold. The forum won't let you edit posts after a certain amount of time, so I can't mark them as such. Thanks - Jim

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    The current production one's are called the Murdock, and are not made by Julian anymore. I am not sure how the fit compares to the older Julian made model (which is what I have). All I know is the Julian made RRL boots seem to run a little small and a little narrow. I would call mine a 12.5...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    My bad - I'm not really that indecisive, I'm just going on about personal philosophy. I think I got a great deal on these boots, and I think I will keep them. I was mainly pointing out that I have a hard time justifying spending more than about $500 on a pair of boots, no matter how awesome...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Kyboots, take a look at my post on page 63 (the very last post on the page) before you buy a pair of the Julian made RRL's. I am really liking them, but they are not a slip-on-and-go fit like a Wesco Boss or White's Nomad. I don;t want to turn you off to them, but they are a tight fit in the...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Illumin8em - thanks for the advice. Do yours still take a minute or so to put on and remove? I wore mine around the house all weekend, and I am now leaning towards keeping them. I am curious about your super secret method for stretching a boot shaft as well. From your statement about...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Marineabilly, I have been meaning to comment on those Lofgrens - they look fantastic. Considering the detailing, they appear to be worth the high price of entry. If I could justify it, I would pick up a pair myself, especially since they seem to run big (I might be able to fit a size 12). I...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I will admit, I'm not necessarily bowled over by everything Red Wing makes, but the heritage collection surprised me with their construction and overall feel. Billy, you're correct, they are not as good as a pair of White's, so there is a threshold of what I would spend on them...
