    SOLD Real McCoy's 20th Anniversary Horsehide A-2 , Rare Size 44

    If shipping isn't a bazillion dollars to Australia, and you think it would fit my measurements... I'm interested! I've never purchased a leather jacket, so not sure of fit. Height 5'10" Chest 44" Waist 36" 215 pounds I'm just not too sure if I should be looking at size 46 in leather jackets...

    American boot alternatives

    If there was one boot that epitomised the USA (like RMs for Aus), what do you think it would it be (chelsea or otherwise)?

    First post & first hats

    A rookie question, but what does everybody do with new hat tags... do you take them off or tuck them into the leather band? (I.e. the size label and care instructions etc)

    American boot alternatives

    I live, breathe, and will likely die in a pair of RM Williams boots (and likely the pair Ive been wearing for the last several years). I also have a pair of Loakes from the UK, which although more difficult to break, are absolutely comfortable. Is anyone from the great US of A familiar with the...

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    Not necessary... BUT... beneficial. I have 4 x pairs of RM Williams and 1 x pair of loakes and have cedar trees for all of them. As others have said, great for moisture, odour, keeping shape (and for stretching out tighter boots)... I use talcum powder with mine too. Just remember to pull...

    An Akubra update

    Sharing some info about Akubra and stock/selections from chats with those 'in the know'. Over the next month or so stock is supposed to be back to the pre-COVID era (although it is unclear what will happen to styles and colour selection now Twiggy Forrest has the conn). The Fed IV has been out...

    First post & first hats

    Thanks! Yes, it's similar to the Akubra Campdraft and with an open crown. I asked for a cattleman bash for something different and really like it (they said as soon as they did it another customer saw it and wanted one too)

    First post & first hats

    Alas, I feel that as I get older I'm more inclined to dress for comfort rather than 'professionally' where I can avoid it

    First post & first hats

    This has to be right... grit the teeth until you no longer need to. I suppose with a new hat it's similar to new boots... until they're broken in and worn they won't feel 'right', so just break them in.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    First post & first hats

    Dear Loungers Long time lurking, first time posting. After following many of your journeys, I've decided to purchase my first two 'grown up' hats. An Akubra Fed IV and Squatter. By way of intro, I'm 35 yo, lawyer and really want to be a hat person... love them. However, I have nerves (and...
