    Red Wing Heritage 9160- Anyone have a pair?

    I have a different pair of Redwing Heritage boots (with lug sole) and can recommend them. However, I also have a pair of Wolverine 1000 Milers - like that model of Redwing you want - and I LOVE them. I don't know the cost difference but I can highly recommend the Wolverines as a model and can...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    There are few things better than a nice tank watch - uncommon, slim, elegant and still masculine. I have a nice but inexpensive Bulova I inherited from my grandfather. While it's not worth much, I get compliments on it frequently. Another incredible watch - a reproduction - is that from Swiss...

    Pendelton western blazer ????

    We've started to carry some of the items from the Pendleton lines on BenchandLoom.com and I have not seen any of what you described. I think you'll have to try eBay.

    For one style of riding cap, check out The Curator from Men's File. They're in the UK so I don't know what import duties you'd pay but they're great quality: http://www.thecurator.co.uk/1950s%20cap.htm

    Aviator / Motoring Goggles

    I've had several people ask and I've been involved in several discussions about the best vintage-inspired goggles for motorcycles, motorcars and/or aviation. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jeantet of France. I've owned lots of different pairs from different makers and while these may require...

    Strap Tank Boots

    Strap tank boots were designed by General George Patton and the son of a German immigrant in Nebraska who was a cobbler. Wanting a pair that we had seen a Japanese company recreate (and sell for $700+), we tracked down the very same cobbler shop - still in business - and had them make us a few...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    The best trousers of this style - in whatever material (denim, canvas, wool) - seem to come from Japan. Stevenson Overall Company, Sugar Cane and Buzz Rickson makes some of the most detailed clothes I've ever seen. They are pricey but you reckon it's spread out over "price per wear." In the USA...

    Help Me Decide - Aero Rollneck or Aran Sweater?

    Because they are meant to fit trimly - like those made by North Sea Clothing, I typically wear a t-shirt underneath. However, an oxford shirt works well too. Personally, I prefer the naval shawl collar sweater (which has a high neck) as opposed to the rollneck. In case you're interested, here's...

    Chapal leathers

    I'm that bloke...I asked about the Purple Label A-1 to know if the price was justified, not because I'm looking for one. I figured if anyone knew of the integrity/quality/accuracy of the product, it'd be someone on this site. I like to know what's out there and I'm looking for advice. Besides...

    Chapal leathers

    They can be easily customized. But your point is a good one and more measurements will be posted. The site's only a few days old. I posted a question in the A-1 thread, maybe you know. Does anyone know of the fit and quality of the Ralph Lauren "Purple Label Bomber" A-1 that's available for...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    I haven't read all 42 pages of threads on this subject but does anyone know about the fit and quality of the Ralph Lauren A-1? They call it the Purple Label Bomber for $3999. I was extremely impressed with the A-1 made by Chapal of France Since 1832. I was over there in September and saw the...
