    Lunch, Anybody?

    My first loquat harvest of the season.

    Opinions vary. We all have different feet. To me, a wide toe box is better than shoes that squish my toes together. I don't want my feet and toes wrapped up tight and bound. That leads to orthopedic problems. The Iron Sheik had the right idea. If I could, I would wear his boots.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    This is what the cap toe boots look like, in their natural habitat. The dishwashing station at Panda Express.

    Jim Green custom shop

    I took a trip to West Africa. The local Panda Express needed a highly trained dishwasher. I didn't get any special footwear. I just wore my regular issued duty boots - which would have been something from Bates, Rocky, Thorogood, Danner, or whichever company won the bid on the supply...

    I'm Courteney has a nice article on Forbes. And that little video provides a little insight on their factory, manufacturing, and company background. I like that they are providing employment to poor people. I won't be buying Courteney. I have no specific need for a safari shoe. The...

    I thought that those shoes were purpose specific. Specific to safari. Shoes for hikes through the jungle or forest. It's an outdoors shoe.

    Experimenting on foods.

    Doesn't everyone use cutlery from a company known to make swords that you hang on the wall? Amazing how much work you can do with a 3" knife. And no, you don't have to spend $$$ on something endorsed by a celebrity chef.

    Jim Green has competition. But not really. Nobody knows this company. They are much smaller.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    I've worn these all weekend. No sore spots on my feet. No blisters. Very comfortable, right out of the box.. No break-in period. Those things matter to me.

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    I don't know if it matters or not. Some cap toe shoes have a real cap toe. They actually sew an extra piece of leather, over the toe of the shoe. Allen Edmonds does not have a real cap toe. The "toe cap" is sewn to the shoe, not as an extra cap over the shoe.

    Right or wrong, this is what I have.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    Here is the cap toe I just bought. The biggest differences are the 360 Goodyear welt, and Vibram soles. Other than that, the cap toe is just an aesthetic difference. I don't know if it's a "real" cap toe, or just a cosmetic cap toe where two pieces of leather are sewn together to create the...

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    An old, carbureted 883. Just enough for city commuting.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    General impressions are that it is a well built shoe, using decent components. On my foot, the shoe fits to my Brannock size. With Allen Edmonds, I buy my Brannock size, but fit varies depending on the model and last. If the shoe was built on Allen Edmonds 65 last, it is a bit narrow, and...

    Self Rediscovery

    They now sell sneakers that look like shoes. Makes me think of a simpler time. When I thought of high top basketball shoes as the sneaker version of boots. They went up over the ankle for support and protection. They were much lighter in weight. And I could run in them. The shoe of that...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    I often wonder if all of the guys who carry knives actually use those knives. Or are they just for show? Dude with a big @55 knife - has he ever stabbed anyone with that? Or is it a belt hanger? Just hangs on his belt for decoration. Like all of those samurai swords that are sold at The...

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    In an ideal world, everything would be top quality, and we would all be able to afford it. In the real world, I don't have the $$$$ of disposable income to buy a custom made leather jacket. That kind of money, for me, is better spent ...... how about on groceries? I need to eat, and feed my...

    Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

    The sneaker is styled like the more popular dress shoe. It looks like it. But it's not the actual shoe model upper, with a sneaker sole. The sole for the sneaker has a foam insert, and a foam foot bed. The sneaker outsole is glued and stitched. The tongue is stitched to the shoe on the...
