    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I believe you should wear what you like since developing personal style is your journey alone but as a fellow sneakerhead, i don’t think the Nike vapormaxes work with the cross zip. I love the white sneaker/black leather combo, but I prefer lower profile and sleeker white shoes to complete the...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I don’t think I intentionally or unintentionally meant to create a false dilemma. I think it’s pretty obvious we are each drawn to a jacket for a multitude of different reasons that are weighed subjectively on a sliding scale of importance. I just chose to highlight a few obvious ones that have...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I really like these types of discussions bc it forces me inward to evaluate my own shopping preferences and expectations. It seems that much of the disappointment related to wonky stitching, loose seems, and overall sloppiness stems from the buyer's expectation. Hype raises expectations. For...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    https://www.stitchdown.com/ provides editorial content on boots and shoes. if you join SDP ($50/year i think) you get access to their discord and other discounts, MTOs, and exclusives. It's how I got my Onderhouds. The people on the discord run the spectrum of diversity but are united in their...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Tardy to the party but I’ve enjoyed reading all the posts in this thread. I agree with many of the perspectives shared. All that I’ll add is from my own experience, there’s a direct correlation between my passion, time, and money invested in a hobby and my susceptibility to hype. Probably the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I think so. His Underdogs and lace to toe boots are also popular. I’d recommend checking his Instagram for inspiration.

    Let's see your mechanical watches

    Very nice! I've decided to forgo all jacket, boot, and other luxury item purchases for the next year so that I can get one of my grail watches in 2022. Either a no-date sub or polar explorer II. I was going to try and wait for the steel rolex bubble to burst before buying, but who knows when...

    Seamaster 300 coaxial titanium. It’s got a nice light blue dial. Much lighter than the steel version.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My mind is blown right now. Can’t believe that interior is from a 2017 production vehicle. Forgive my ignorance but aren’t there minimum safety requirements? Like does it have an airbag? As a minor gearhead who’s always been into cars I need a dedicated thread on that rig!

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    @ton312 have you considered the Laer x SOP cross zip? https://www.snakeoilprovisions.com/collections/mens-leather-jackets/products/sop-x-laer-new-standard-asymmetrical-black I wouldn’t pick it up at full retail or anything close to the cost of an Aero but when they go on sale they’re...

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    @ton312 I was hoping the same but no dice. Any change results in custom fee, even a deletion.

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    Funny, I had the same exact thought but then you enter custom territory/cost and I just didnt feel strongly enough to make those changes. Hope i don’t regret that decision.

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    @ton312 if it helps your decision-making, these are the measurements Constantine sent me. I went with a 42: "The size 42 measures 46.5'' around the chest ( 23.25'' pit to pit). Chest 46.5'' Across Shoulders : 19.00'' Sleeve Length : 25.37'' Length Front : 22.63'' (CF measured from the base of...

    Vanson C2RN “Renegade” thoughts? Any owners here?

    This is a timely post. I almost mentioned this in your BL WTB buy post. I've been searching for a subdued crosszip myself (no epaulets or belt). I love the Commando but don't want to be pay the premium it commands. I stumbled upon the Renegade on Vanson's site and searched for info here, but...
