Hey, it’s been a while since my last post. Every few years I take on the quest to find my correct size in the redwing 1178 pecos. It’s made on the no.17 last. The thing about the pecos boots is that they’re not as popular as the heritage redwings so there isn’t as much info out there concerning...
Has anyone ever taken the wide ribbon off of a federation and replaced it with a thin one or maybe a like a thin leather braid. I got a fed III that’s more of a beater and outdoor rain hat and wondering what it would look like with a more country look.
I may want to own a Bushman but want to see more examples of bashes and how it compares to other Akubra styles. I’ve had the cattleman and currently own a fed III and IV. Thanks.
Thanks for the input fellas! Yeah the sleeves are a little long which surprised me because it a regular size 44 and I’m usually a long in a suit jacket. Don’t really bother me too much though. I’ll get some pics up of me wearing more appropriate attire so as to give a better reference where the...
Got this Schott 141 in brown off Electronic bay and was wanting to check up on the fit. I was a little concerned about the sleeve length cause I’m a little over 6 feet tall and Schotts website says to get a tall if 6 feet or taller. This is a regular and feels ok to me but just wanted...
Looking for a good quality everyday general use leather jacket. I’m not a collector but I would like to have a good quality leather jacket. I want a cafe racer style jacket. Really like the Schott 141. So if anyone has anything like that in a 44L or L-XL that they want to sell for a good price...
Yeah I like the look of the Schott 530. Anyone have experience with the fit of Schott jackets. Do they run small or “fitted”. I usually wear a 44L in a suit jacket.
Can anyone suggest a good affordable leather jacket. Like something that doesn’t scream “motorcycle” but has that general style and taylored fit. US made preferably but I’m open to any reputable manufacturer.
Yeah I have very low instep but other wise normal feet so every boot I've ever tried would fit in the toe box but be loose around the instep. I really like that style because of the simple rugged design. You can special order that particular model and I have but sold them shortly afterward...
Anyone know of a custom bootmaker that makes no nonsense western style boots for a reasonable price? I have an unusual size foot that makes it pretty near impossible to find a pull on boot that fits correctly. I really like the red wing 1178 style with the low heel. Its more like a wellington...
Just got my first campdraft and am wondering something. I measure around 57.6 and ordered the 58 like advised. The hat does fit slightly loose but not uncomfortably so. I know akubras will shrink a little with wear but I'm concerned it might shrink too much. Is this fear rational or am I just...
If anyone is interested I got this cattleman for sale on ebay.

Don't want to sound like a tight wad but I just can't make myself pull the trigger on a pair of 50$ jeans I'm not sure will fit right. Anyone know of a place I can get some stf 501's for a more reasonable price? Thanks.
Anyone interested in buying this Akubra cattleman? It is the fawn color and it's a size 58cm. Its been worn by me a moderate amount. I've also used a hat stretcher on it to make it fit a little more comfortably. I also got a federation in the same size and when it was new it was too big. A...
Anyone ever trimmed the brim on an akubra cattleman? This might be something I would like to attempt if it ain't too challenging and it looks decent. If anyone has pics I would sure be glad to see em if it's not too much trouble. Also how would one go about this endeavour and what tools would...
