    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    I enjoy the idea of wearing rings - but seldom do in my every day life as I find they impede me in the things I need to do and especially when I do "manly" things like work on my cars/motorcycles, home repairs - and well - yes - even washing the dishes. I feel guilty if I get scratches on them...

    Cowboy Boots

    Hi guys/gals - I own around 12 pairs of cowboy boots all in the cheap to cheaper range - but I love them all nevertheless. I am not an expert on cowboy boots by any means but would love to treat myself to a really good pair of custom boots - I saw this Dave Little pair on the bay and wondering...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Coinkidink you should post this jacket Stringmaster - I was just thinking about when I was a kid and used to watch Paul Newman wearing Levi jackets - I think that jacket and the way Paul wore them is what first turned me on to "manly" jackets.

    @jnovac1 - bad things can happen if you attempt to cook standing on your head.

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    Stiff as a billy goat's pecker. ;-) I need to put some miles on this one - but it is usually far too warm in temps much above 70 (even for riding). If I remember correctly I picked this one up for around 5 benjamins!

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    AeroFan - You nailed the perfect length on that awesome Vanson Hman - What a beaut! Here's some shots of my Aero h/h "Motorcycle" with sheepskin lining - length (28") on this one is just about perfect for me but maybe just a wee bit too long - tried to get a shot of the heavy duty zipper I...

    Heavy Duty Gun Belt Havana/Havana - A+!

    Here is an awesome belt I picked up off the bay....will be used to hold up my heavy Langlitz leather pants. Really great quality and workmanship. (No relation or spliffs from this maker ;-0) I got the "Havana/Havana" belt/stitch combo but they have others as well: 1 3/4" Heavy Duty Leather...

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    Always better to factor in the sleeve length from back center collar to end of sleeve - that will allow for the shoulder width. But yes, 25" (here the seller said he wears a 34 sleeve so shoulder to shoulder might be around 18-20") would be too short in my opinion. I am also 6'2" (dress shirt...

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    Go with the one that puts a grin on your face and makes you say to yourself "Man, I LOVE the way I look in this jacket!" That way you can't go wrong. ;-) One thing also - in the pic you show your shirt is untucked so that is going to make a difference in the appearance as opposed to shirt...

    The Flat Head Engineer Boots - Lost in Translation

    Handymike - can you impart some knowledge about soles? Why don't you like Vibram? I am rather new to good quality boots and would really like to know what types of things to look for.

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    At 6'2" I find the 25" Schotts to be much too short and ride above the belt line - albeit I do have a bit of a gut depending on the time of the year. If you are going to wear the jacket for riding you want it to be longer in the back for more wind protection down the rear end - for me the...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    My stepdad was a hip New Yorker back in the day and he carried a small leather shoulder bag - in those days I don't think they had the word "Murse" though. He also wore a pony tail - this was back in the early 70's. Growing up on the streets of the city he was also very assured of his...

    Boot Socks

    Hi guys and gals - I searched for this topic before posting but perhaps it has not been taken up yet. I am wondering about your favorite boot socks. Out of necessity I went to the local Kohls and bought several brands. I may go look at a few other places today like REI or Dick's Sporting...

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    My method: Promise yourself that you will sell off a few others to accommodate the new one. Then "try" to sell them - but don't try too hard. Eventually like most promises you will forget all about it.
