    Wesco Boot Thread.

    For comparison, here is a roughout pair of 8" Burlap Jobmaster with Domain Brown kilties after about 1 year of wear.

    Wesco Boot Thread.

    I'm not sure it matters to Bunyip now, but perhaps it will for others. Below is a picture of my Wesco Burlap Boss with smooth side out, black leather lining, and 1 heel lift. I've been wearing them for about 3 years. The leather pulls-up very easily, but I like it that way.

    Aero Half Belt - Dry Leather or not??

    I suppose petroleum distillates once every 5 or 10 years would be acceptable. I was mainly thinking of people who want to condition their jackets constantly out of fear of a few wear marks. I obsessed over what conditioners to use for a long time, reading everything I could on the subject. I...

    Aero Half Belt - Dry Leather or not??

    So I'm very late to this thread but after reading the whole thing, I feel compelled to post. I'm considering an Aero 1930s half-belt and I think I'll just have to do it. I don't have one of this style yet and it's growing on me very rapidly. Besides, working with Aero Leathers is such a...

    *Keeper* leather utility jacket photos.....

    I recently sold my Highwayman and ordered a custom one that should be here in March. I find it is a fairly full cut. For example, I find the Vanson Enfields have a snug fit in comparison, and have no more freedom of motion than the Highwayman despite their bi-swing back. The Highwayman simply...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I've owned boots from pretty much all the known names and have settled on WESCOs. When I want a laced pair, I go for my Highliners, otherwise, my Harness or Boss. Totally worth the money IMO.

    WESCO Boss that were custom-made for me. I'm more comfortable with them on than I am barefoot!

    Wesco Highliner Boots (RW9710) for Street Use.

    Hi coffee, so have you been wearing your Highliners? Did you get the side plate off? I wear Highliners pretty much everyday (if I'm not wearing my Harness or Boss). WESCOs are heavy but the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. Arthur

    Shoulders Preferences for a Leather Jacket

    The number size of a jacket generally corresponds to the size chest it is designed for. However there are different fits for different models. A motorcycle jacket will be designed to fit tightly, be short at the waist and have longer arms than a casual evening jacket would be - even if the...

    Vanson Enfield in Cordovan Horsehide - pics!

    Ah yes, that's the one I mulled over this one for a couple days before you bought it. If I didn't already have a horsehide Enfield in size 44, I would have bought this one. Mine is black. I love your color though. I don’t consider it Cordovan. Vanson calls it Reddish Tan and to me Cordovan...
