    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Drzdave58 hopefully someday he'll want it just 'cause its dads jacket. I'm still trying to find out specs of granddads 30s horsehide (subsequently worn by pop} since the original is long gone, and I'd at least like to get an homage if not the original.

    Extremely Customized Himel Bros Grizzly

    I dig it. It is a distinctive cut, but I'm a fan of high waists on jeans and jackets. Coats are another story, if you get the differentiation. It might be a little limiting if it were someones only jacket, but with dudes' collection, it's nice having options, and Dave really managed to make it...

    Tall knee high boots for men?

    Very tall boots are a dicey territory, but height is not the feminizing or masculinizing factor. The cop picture, and any number of polo players, lumber jacks, and vintage riders show that very tall boots can certainly be very masculine. While looking for Wesco engineer boots, I came across...

    Thedi Hektor Half Belt

    I think it's unfortunate that Thurston won't do in person anymore. I visited one time before the neighbors gas main blew up, and it really helps to be able to discuss things directly as you are trying things out. You'd think they'd at least have a limited 'by appointment' sort of thing.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    This jacket really takes advantage of that Greek sunshine. Those Luftwaffe jackets seem to be ubiquitously some sort of seal brown. I'm kind of surprised that Theo is doing that inside out double cuff. You usually see that when someone wants to show off the roping on the hem of their too...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Dude, your photos have finally caught up with your steez. With the right B/W filter, you'd be right out of 1948. Second thought, 1952. Hey, it's the minutia that counts.

    Labour Union Clothing

    I get the argument that 'everything in this genre is a copy, etc.' but they had to include in the ad copy (not used for their other discharge printed articles) that this was in their "respect series", and to bring this fabric to us they spent two years of development. I might speculate, but...

    Green Leather Jackets

    My first thought was maybe not if it was your only leather jacket, but great as a second or third. But I reconsidered even as I was typing. Yeah, I like the greens. I do think I would only go for transparent color though, not so hot as an opaque top coat.

    Labour Union Clothing

    There are some very likable pieces in their line. I could easily see myself wearing any of those wool hunting coats, and I like some of the liberty taken with materials that are not historic, but could have been. Unfortunately one bit sticks in my craw for personal reasons. I was a bit...

    Aero Original Hercules in Cordovan CXL FQHH 38

    Hello, the measurements seem closer to a 40. Aeros often seem to run large. What size are you generally, and does it fit you? I'm a pretty solid 40 regular.
