Here are some photos of my Hamilton Khaki that I purchased from the mainside PX at Quantico during the Summer of 1981 while I was at USMC OCS. I sent it back to Hamilton last year for a refurb but it didn't need much just a good cleaning and some parts replaced. My youngest son swiped it and...
This is a picture of my grandfather taken in the 20's I think. They lived in LA and spent a lot of time hunting and fishing in the Sierra Nevadas. I love this picture, I've always been curious what kind of boots he is wearing.
Absolutely agree on quality and fit.....I have three pairs of alden/brooks brothers loafers (2x cordovan and one black) that I have had since the late 80s....

This is my first post on the FL.... I've read this forum with great interest. I've come here from a different path than most of you. I'm not a biker (though I did ride motorcross until i was 50) but got here as a musician. I've started wearing Frye harness boots in the early seventies. I've...
