    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Depends, with Fromjapan and others you can pay in JPY so you use your banks conversion. If you have good international card its always going to be better than Buyees exchange rates.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Engineer boots are the coolest style for me, I'm still reaching for them first every single time since I bought mine. Something about having that much leather around your legs is nice.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    For me at least, any casual clothing I don't need custom measurements. I have a very average physique, no measurements out of the standard that I need to account for with a custom measurement. Unless you have some real reason to need a custom measurement, you should really consider ready to...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    For me yes, but I had a pretty skinny achilles ankle area where these sit so these served to fill that area out and keep my foot locked in. Doesn't push my feet forward, since it sits above the heel area and hugs where the heel countours in.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I use these Saphir leather heel grips, they have adhesive backing but I ended up just gluing them in after they started peeling.

    Interesting denim jackets?

    I have coverall jackets and denim jackets. For coverall I prefer lighter weight fabric like chambray or lighter weight denim so that it drapes and is less rigid, especially because it's a longer length. Coverall jackets are infinitely more useful to me in terms of carrying everything I need...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Not sure if its a proxy or the shop, but that ones up on Mercari for about $220 https://jp.mercari.com/en/item/m96905550166 The markup is not bad if they offered $320 on this, the seller is a vintage shop so the eBay store could be theirs as well.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Lost Worlds G-1, it's the jacket I want to wear 90% of the time nowadays. First time wearing it in the rain, no dramas and it seems to have set the sleeve creases more. The sleeves are a bit long on me, hopefully it will subside with a little more wear.

    Long (double) Riders?

    Long Buco J-24 or thereabouts from Lost Worlds If it wasn't long I would have bought it

    Interesting choice of back art on this Sears Oakbrook...

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    Wish this brand made larger sizes, I visited their Tokyo store but they had nothing past US 9 or 10 I think. I'm right at the cut off where smaller Japanese brands stop offering my size, same deal with Wheel Robe.

    Show your graining

    Lost World goatskin G-1, it's pretty tough, started off pretty flat but now it's alright. It's pretty stiff around the pockets because it's layered up and won't fold and crease to break in so easily, also the interior pocket is made of some really stiff and heavyweight canvas too.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Have you tried glueing them down? I had a similar issue, I used the Birkenstock Blue insole which is very built up around the heel/arch and use a little double sided tape. Ended up not needing to use them for my engineers after the footbed broke in which made the heel slip not too bad but it...

    Buying approach - focused or targets of opportunity

    I'm limited by my budget, and I'm the type of person that absolutely hates selling things, the whole process, taking pictures, responding to questions, everything. So I am very cautious with my purchases, it has to be something I really like and at a good price, at least so that if I decide to...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I will wear any pants that fit over them, most often jeans and chinos. I wear them with flared jeans as well and it's pretty funky, everything I wear though, I need to have the hem sit basically covering the strap, any shorter and it makes my proportions look a bit weird.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have similar feet, very wide toes, narrow ankle and heel, but also a medium-large instep. I found more than other styles, engineers have more options for wider toes, while other shoes have sharper almond shape toes, engineers can often be found with more round toes. I'll usually wear a wide...

    Popped collars

    I do it on some of them, my Cal with mouton collar, I pop the back and leave the collar tips as normal, my G-1 I pop and it's nice, it's what the collar was designed to do.

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    Did they shorten the sleeves? Leather pants are really cool by the way

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Very weird Vanson custom by a brand "Share One's Fate"? I dig the sterling silver hardware actually, but it's also been elongated with a weird leather waistband and some insignia on the back.

    Lower Cost Shoes

    If you're getting running shoes, just get the previous years models at a hefty discount, I get mine at the outlets in Australia as well for about $100. Running shoes are pretty disposable in that the foam degrades and the mesh will wear after you put in the mileage and I only really run around...
