    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I envy you right now. Fall is just barely starting to show it head here for me, and only just enough to need a light jacket over a T shirt. Sadly it's just the orange label Cooper A2 for me today. Don't get me wrong I really love this jacket, but I've really been itching break out the wool.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    I've been doing yardwork in the heat to make me forget about jackets. We're supposed to start cooling down into the 80's next week which will mean wearing a jacket for a few hours in the morning, but true fall weather isn't around the corner just yet.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I bought these footskins moccasin boots 2 years ago. On my feet they're the most comfortable thing I've ever worn, the most supple pliable 2.5mm thick leather I've experienced, like foot gloves really. Under the foot proved to be a bit of a different story though, the problem with these...

    So now the mildew smell is gone, but does it smell like vinegar now ? Vinegar is one of the many smells that is guaranteed to make me throw up 100% of the time. Btw this is a cool jacket that's definitely worth the effort.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    I've been wearing USGI M81 woodland camo on my head every single say since I was 12 years old, and will probably have a USGI patrol cap or USGI boonie in M81 woodland on my head when I die hopefully at the age of 100. I have a few other hats that I wear for certain things, but I'm building up a...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    My woolrich arrived and I'm guessguessing it was hardly worn if at all then dry cleaned by the seller, the condition is excellent.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Sure if you're wearing skinny jeans it may look off, but not with a basic slim straight or regular straight.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    I personally think that an M-65 in your tag size can be considered a subjectively well fitting jacket for an m65 as long as the sleeves aren't too short or something, an m-65 isn't a cross zip or a cafe racer after all. This is just my opinion, but in that picture Statham looks like he's...

    Couple questions on vintage denim jackets.

    I'm a wranglers guy myself, I expect you'd be perfectly happy with an 80's wrangler sherp but if ton says the 70's examples were best I'd trust him. I may have to get one some day to compare to my 80's example. That Sears looks like a great jacket, the hand pockets aren't where / how I like them...

    Help - Can you give me more information about this work jacket?

    I am not an expert, but I will tell you that for the price you payed all that matters is whether you like it and whether it fits. To me It looks like a good quality jacket in excellent condition, I don't know what the 60 EU is in USD but If I was looking for a jacket like this I'd have no...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Nothing right now but am looking for a specific jacket. The particular jacket I'm looking for is a 1960's Woolrich style 23001 just like this like new example that sold a couple years ago. I already have one but it's a size too big and has tons of pilling. This was the first vintage jacket...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I've been wearing my custom shop Jim Green Vellies just about every day for going on 3 months now and couldn't be happier with them. They're very comfortable, and the leather looks quite a bit better than they did when new. They're just my casual everyday shoes so I don't abuse them, but...

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    I think you just have to accept the m65 for what it is and judge whether the jacket fits good for and m65, many types of jacket just don't fit and wear like a leather jacket or sports coat.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Same here. I would buy a new M65 from Golden if they were still making them since they were an official contractor making them in the US, but otherwise that's it and I'd only go official issue. I have the '77 sew sew styles from my dad pictured previously that I've been abusing since I was a...

    Im looking to identify and evaluate this unique vest

    I hate to say it, but I believe this vest is too far gone. The smell nearly went away, then I conditioned it and that somehow brought the smell back. I just don't think the smell can be dealt with, and the leather side is just too bad looking. Truth be told it's not really my kind of vest...

    Whites perry sizing vs Thorogood

    I got it figured out and the Perry's are going to be a no-go.

    Whites perry sizing vs Thorogood

    I'm thinking about getting a pair of the Perry selects since they're on sale, they're $310 while my Thorogood 6201's were a around $265 shipped when I bought them for work about 2 years ago so the major step up in quality is only $45 I'm limited to rack sizing, and need to know how the whites...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just this deerskin vest for today. When I got this thing back in December it quickly became one of my favorite vests, I love the look and fit and it's extremely comfortable. I have other vest that feel just snug enough to make me want to unbutton them when I sit down but not this one.
