    Detailed photos - Vintage Buco J-22

    Wow! I’d put it on the Japanese market and call it a day, this is going to bring in $$$. Unless of course you want to wear the hell out of it… stunning jacket and looking at it also fairly obvious how out of the various repros the RMC version is the one that comes closer in feeling to this original.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Yeah perhaps you are right regarding the lack of their availability in the UK. I live half an hour drive from Northampton by the way… lol… many great makers there for sure. Have a few Trickers and a pair of Crockett and Jones shoes. But you know is a bit like if you really want a Corvette you...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I found this Dutch shop that has what seems to me one of the widest selection in Europe: https://www.fransboonestore.com/collections/alden Now I forgot that I live in a special part of Europe up north where on top of the Trump mark up I’d have to pay the Boris/Cameron mark up too if I buy them...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Cool, thanks all for the replies re Alden availability outside of US. I think C&J are awesome but often their lasts look a bit too elongated and dressier for my taste. I think the Coniston is their only boot model I like (though not a fan of 360 degree welt). I have a pair of their shoes I use...

    Where do you guys in Europe buy Alden? They seem virtually unobtainable outside of the US as US shops can’t ship them abroad. Has anyone ever gone down the proxy route?

    FS: Phigvel Makers Horse Hide Engineer Boots Size 8.5 (UK8)

    Thanks for your interest. I’ve never been measured on a brannock device unfortunately, I think it’s not that used outside of the USA. I wear a US 8.5 in White’s BH and Red Wing Iron Ranger, if that helps.

    FS: Phigvel Makers Horse Hide Engineer Boots Size 8.5 (UK8)

    Beautiful pair of engineer boots made out of a top notch horse hide with some beautiful natural grain. These have a flat unstructured toe and leather soles. I have had passing through my hands several Japanese engineer boots and these are up there with the best names. The low block heel also...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It is also quite evident that skinny fit pants have gone out of fashion over the last couple of years and wider fits are becoming more and more popular and easily available. As with every trend it takes a bit to peak up amongst the general population. Now dude I’m not suggesting you are wearing...

    Opinions on Fit

    Would you ever walk out from a shop with a jacket fitting like this? I guess not… at least I know I wouldn’t. Imho you can do much better buying OTR. Some people say you need to go custom and tweak here and there… honestly it looks like you have an average body shape so I’m not convinced that’s...

    That kind of confirms my perception then. While the workwear trend is definitely past its peak the western/cowboy theme is still somewhat “in” and that is an area where RRL (used to) put out interesting pieces. Oh well… plenty of choice elsewhere too.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I have the impression that the popularity of RRL has been decreasing a bit over the last couple years compared to before… like less talked about online but also smaller collections with less stand out pieces over the past few seasons. I hope it won’t end up like Levi’s Vintage Clothing which...
