    Wesco Engineer - Questions

    Thanks for your inputs Gav. I now have a couple pairs of engineer boots both in size 12D. One of them fits well with average type boot socks - with just enough slip in the heel which I understand will "conform" over time, and as you point out, is necessary. The other pair is "leather lined"...

    Jacket too small?

    Well c'mon now - of course at some point in the future you are going to slim down and then you will have this jacket which will fit perfectly! I usually keep really cool jackets such as this that might be a bit on the small side just for this very reason. Its amazing how dropping just 10# can...

    Help with Aero jacket fit

    Apropos of this dilemma when we all try on the jacket and need to make that big decision. Recently when being fitted for a suit - I was standing at the mirror looking - the salesman asked one very simple question - "Do you love it?" That sort of hit me like bam - yeah do I love it? Nope. I...

    Wesco Engineer - Questions

    SkyTurtle - thanks for the great info. I have been eyeing a pair of Chippewa Engineer - seems there are several flavors. Do you run the "motorcycle"? I also see a good deal on "Bomber Motorcycle" - brown color. What is your preferred leather type? Do you run steel toe or not. I think the...

    Wesco Engineer - Questions

    Thanks for your inputs. I put them on again today and actually notice just the slightest bit of heel slip - it seems like some heel lift would occur just based on the stiffness of the sole alone - and overall they feel pretty good. I will mostly be using them to sit in one place - on my...

    FS: Johnson Leathers A2 XL/XXL

    Hi - thanks and my apologies. I should have done some research before calling it a A-2. I would edit the title to say "Bomber" but can't seem to do so using the edit feature - but will change the description accordingly.

    FS: Langlitz Columbia 7 Pocket XL

    Hi - the jacket was not made for me. I am 6'2" 245# with 50" chest and 44"waist. The jacket fits snug on me when zipped with a t-shirt underneath and the side laces all the way out. Hope this helps. I always offer money-back on the price of the jacket should it not meet your needs - you just...

    The Theory of Everything

    I just watched this a few nights ago about the physicist Stephen Hawking and I have to say it is a very touching story and well done film. The acting is very good especially Eddie Redmayne's performance. One does not have to be a nerdy scientist to enjoy this film - although there is just...
