    Schott 585 Vintage Motorcycle Jacket

    Dr. Velociraptor - I rarely ever call anybody out, but you really need to lighten up a bit. I have read this whole thread, and I don't see anyone accusing Schott of any malfeasance. It's a proven fact that they were using a thinner (read: less expensive) leather for a period of time, and...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    That is definitely some food for thought - I wonder if they will be as nice as your Beck's or the Road Champs. The Becks in particular look like they are made from super thick leather - unfortunately, it didn't look like they made them in a size 13.... I was looking those up yesterday and...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Saw those on your blog - they look fantastic, but do you have any rough ideas about the price? Looking at the rest of this stuff, I think these will be beyond my means. They look like they are going to be just about the perfect pair of Engineer boots.

    Langlitz Lovers, what did I find??

    Langlitz is considered a premium US maker of leather jackets - they are based up here in Portland, OR. Brand new, their jackets generally cost around $800 - $1000 and up, so you definitely got a pretty amazing bargain.

    Aero Cafe Racer Jacket: heavy horsehide or medium weight?

    Hammerdown, I live near you, and I work in Tualatin. If you wanted to meet up some time, I would be happy to let you check out my Aero Ace Half Belt. I would choose the heavy horsehide perosnally (that's what I have), but I like a heavy jacket.

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Well, I broke down a few months ago and ordered my second pair of William Lennons - I got the Tan Waxy 178 boots, and they are finally on their way. I did make a subtle change of my own - I sent them a pair of Vibram Pavia 9 Iron (3/16") half soles and some thicker (7/16") vintage Biltrite...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Marineabilly - fantastic resole on the Mr. Freedoms! It's hard to find a cobbler who will even do that these days (much less one who will do it competently). They all think it will be too stiff (Although, in all fairness, my Wesco's are pretty stiff). How is the heel slip with that thuck...

    Schott goes after the Restoration Hardware crowd

    I think it's a gorgeous jacket, but the lack of a lining ruins it for me. I would like a shirt collar as well, but the mandarin works fine. Proper chest sizing and long sizes would have sealed the deal for me. The leather looks nice, but I'm not convinced that it would be thick enough for my...

    Wesco Highliner Boots (RW9710) for Street Use.

    I have been meaning to reply to this for a few days. How tall are the boots? I think more tahn 10 inches would drive me nuts. Both my Whites and my Nicks lace-ups are 8 inch heights. I prefer the look of the Jobmaster myself, but I totally understand getting a great deal on something that...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Oh, I know - I just prefer when the half sole is stitched on as well. I have big feet and I tend to catch the front edge of my soles on the edge of carpets and such. I have torn half soles off before when they were just glued on. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it's a lot nicer to just...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    So did he just glue them on or glue and stitch? Have you got any pics of the finished product?

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Coffee - I'm still looking for someone who does good work. I might have to send them out - Marineabilly had a pretty good list. Wesco is just an hour away, but I don't think they'd want to work on someone else's boots.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I just ordered a pair of brown Frye Rogan Engineers from Street Moda -they've got them on sale for $129 + $9.99 shipping. I got a 25% off code, so they ended up being $107 out the door. I have never ordered from this site before, but I did a little looking around and I feel good about the...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Blaster - do you mind me asking who you had do the work and how much it cost? Did your cobbler also install thicker heel rubber to compensate for the thickness of the half soles? I am hoping to get this done at the factory (they customized my Derby boots for me), but I'm not sure how...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Billy - You just pushed me over the edge - those boots are incredible! What size are yours? I just sent an e-mail to William Lennon last night. I hope I hear from them soon - I'd really like to get a pair of those. Too bad it's an extra 30 pounds to ship to the US, but they'll be worth...

    Opinions regarding Schott Vintaged Perfecto Jacket 618V1?

    I have a little differnet outlook on this. I am of the opinion that real patina sometimes looks good, and sometimes just looks old and crappy. Even starting with a quality product, I've seen old boots, jeans, jackets, etc. that just look old and worn out. I don't generally like to buy...

    Aero prices increased

    Wow - this kills me. I am genuinely bummed. I was planning on ordering a Bootlegger one of these days, perhaps during one of Mark's 10% off sales, but I think this just killed it for me. I'm kicking myself, because I could have even put down a couple hundred bucks at the lower price and...

    Nick's Hot Shot Boots 13 D - new, like White's Smoke Jumper

    Hey all, I have a beautiful pair of boots for sale today. These are a pair of Nick's Boots "Hot Shot" model in a size 13 D. I am selling them because I felt they were too big for me (I am on the small side of a 13 D, often wearing a 12.5 D in work boots). That being said, I think these...
