    40s/50s workwear boots

    From what you're saying, I don't think you could do better than the Corcoran Jump boots. I bought a pair from an Army/Navy store in 1971 and wore them for years landscaping, travelling, cab-driving, etc., and then throughout the whole punk thing in NY. I had to laugh when I saw your reference to...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    No, no. First, casually mention that you don't really have a good, warm jacket and mention that you saw these incredibly nice leather jackets on some web page. You used to LOVE those jackets when you were a kid, but your parents didn't have the money. Then say that the reason you don't have a...

    It's sad.

    Proper Review-Used Black Aero FQHH Cafe Racer Jacket

    A t-shirt, sweatshirt, or, best of all, a striped sailor shirt. Nice jacket.

    That particular hat looks great in black.

    Panama Hat Thread

    We could use it here today: low 50's, rainy, and dark. Looks like a typical day in Dublin. Poor tourists.

    Bespoke Simmons Bilt

    I just woke up and have been reading this thread. Does anyone else get the strong stink of trolls, and of very familiar trolls at that?

    Bespoke Simmons Bilt

    I'm a bit lost as to your meaning of "patronizing," but Johnson Leathers in San Francisco makes a nice jacket at a very competitive price point.

    Bespoke Simmons Bilt

    Speaking of tangible objects, check out the new Moonshiner design on the Aero site, and then add on to that all of the designs they've come out with in the last few years. If you then look at the SB designs (the ones not stolen from the Calders), the results are laughable. In this little corner...

    Adding A little Patina To An Aero Flight Jacket

    Isn't it kind of counterproductive to artificially age the patches and then use Pecard's on the jacket if you're going for a salty look? It's my understanding that pretty much all of Aero's leathers don't need any treatment for years and years. I've had a LHB for about six years now and, though...

    Vanson Model B - the search for my perfect cafe racer is over

    Those pics are some of the best I've seen. Clearly a case of (well-deserved) love for a beautiful jacket. You should post them with a XXX warning, though.

    The Orvis/Himel Bros Jacket

    Everything I've bought from Orvis has been too large. I think it's because they cater to a clientele of older, extremely well-fed customers.. It's vanity-sizing for big boys with cash. I'm a size 38 and I'm pretty trim, but their sizes are always 38-40 (with it being a very large 40), and I've...

    It sounds like the Campdraft or the Open Road style would be just what you're looking for. Check out the Campdraft thread on this forum, and if you want to see how ultimately cool the Open Road style can look with a suit see the "I Saw the Light" thread: Tom Hiddleston's white OR (made by forum...

    Alley Kat Hat Co

    ^Ditto here. Here's my prescription: do one of your painkillers, give it about 35 minutes, and then put some "Exile on Main Street" on the box. You'll magically find yourself picking up those Keith riffs. Nice and easy.

    Wested's Goatskin

    Why did I have to see this? They have a Snake Plisskin jacket in cowhide for $230.00, and I'm fresh out of excuses with my wife. I have to think about this. Bi-swing back.

    Tim, have you had the operation yet? How're you feeling? Again, no big rush for me.

    Hamilton Classic Wilshire Watch Ltd Edition Reproduction

    Many thanks to you for responding. When I sent the envelope I was on my way home from work and was so exhausted that I stupidly sent it unregistered. Thank God for the honest people in this world. I've admired these watches for some time and am looking forward to receiving it. All the best.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    I was thinking about your question again, and it occurred to me that a Sunbody three-inch brim might be just what you're looking for. They're sturdy hats, tightly woven, and you can soak them in water, shape them any way you want, and they dry just fine and retain the shape: in fact, you could...
