    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Paddy - they customized mine too - I asked for the tops to be 2 inches taller and I asked for toe caps with no holes in them. I also asked for the lighter brown leather that they use (they call it "Mid Brown Latigo), but they forgot to make this change (I ended up with "Dark Brown Latigo")...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Matt - For what it's worthm I got both of my boots, and they are fantastic. I emailed them when I received the single boot becuase I honestly thought it was a mistake. This was their reply: Hello Jim, The other boot was sent at the same time! If we send them as a pair, the air freight...

    Vanson Enfield in Cordovan Horsehide - pics!

    Hey all - Last week I was surfing the web, and I came upon a jacket that sorely tempted me. My longsuffering wife rolled her eyes, and reminded me that I already have several very nice (read: expensive) jackets, but I couldn't resist. I e-mailed the seller a few times, and the...

    New Lost Worlds Suburban

    You might consider Aero's Steerhide - I ahve one, and the look and feel is very much like their Horsehide, but it's super thick. It's also about $100 cheaper.

    Anyone get their new Vanson delivered recently?

    I'd love to see some pictures of you wearing your new Enfield - it sounds like we are similar in build. I just picked up a size 44 Horsehide Enfield on eBay - I tried a size 46 Enfield about a year ago and it fit me poorly. Vanson sizing seems to vary from model to model. My size 44 Model B...

    New Lost Worlds Suburban

    Great looking jacket - how would you compare the horsehide between the two? I have not handled a Lost Worlds jacket, but it appears to have a very different finish than the Aero.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks for the recommendation - I have been wearing Smartwool Light Hiker socks for the last year - buying good socks is the best thing I have done in years. I will have to check out the Tech Sox.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Wesco recommends treating them with bee oil and a bee's wax preservative. For what it's worth, the oil and wax appear to be exactly the same stuff that you would get from White's or Nick's Boots. They did say that the oil would darken the boots significantly, and that the wax would darken them...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    These are pretty close to my idea of what a prefect pair of Semi-Dress boots would be. Great choice, and evn better photos!

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    One option that I like for the Semi-Dress boot is the "British Tan" leather. It's a very nice dark tan-light brown color, and only available on the semi-dress. I wanted to order a pair of Smoke Jumpers with this color, but no such luck.

    Cafe Racer Collar Dilemma

    I am almost positive that if you could explain what you want well enough, Aero would modify the collar for you. I have acafe racer on order now that I went the opposite direction with - I had them put a highwayman style collar on it. They will also make a cafe racer witha plain back - there...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    This last week, I finally made the drive up to the Wesco factory. I made my order several months ago, and they are about to start on my pair, so I decided I'd better run up and make sure the sizing is right. Well, actually, it was my second attempt. The last time I drove up was December...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Check on eBay - there is a seller who seems to stocka ll the sizes of Work America Engineer boots. I have considered ordering a pair of these, but there seem to be a few variations in the look of the sole. If you look at Marineabilly's pics and then look at the stock Work Ameraica photo...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    If you don't mind paying MSRP (which is what the Rogan and Rand Engineers tend to cost lately), you could try calling Frye directly (www.fryeboots.com). I just got my Rogan engineer boots by calling them - and they were actually cheaper than the online shoe websites. I was really surprised -...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks John - I'll definitely get pics up when they arrive. They're expensive, but they seem to be worth it. The toughest decision for me was actually toe style - I ended up going with the classic "bump toe" last. I think I'll try the new last if I get another pair (I'd love to try a pair...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have been on a bit of a spree lately - I finally ordered my first pair of Wesco Boss - with brown leather, nickel hardware, double leather midsoles, Vibram 705 half sole, and buff (unstained, natural) welts and heels. FYI, I ordered through BigBlackBoots (www.boot.com) which is a lot cheaper...
