Agreed. Just checking their site, though, I really like that new 237 MA-1 Bomber jacket. Last night I found almost the exact same design, (mid-Sixties, I'm guessing) in perfect shape on Etsy in reddish-brown suede. I've been looking for one for ages and there it was for about $100.00. Ah, small...
I'd go with the Loake for dress boots: I have the Burford and Bedale boots and both are very nice (the break-in time on them, for me, was considerable). Thursday makes a very nice boot, and they're incredibly comfortable: I must have about thirty pairs of boots and shoes but find myself wearing...
When I got my cap I was afraid that the liner might result in mildewing. What sold me on the caps was the William Morris liner, as I've always been a big fan of his work. Is Stewart still making them?
A year from now you won't even consider ever parting with that hat. I have a number of hats in various shades of brown, but the bluegrass green looks killer with a brown horsehide or goatskin jacket. Also, I had a good laugh at your treatment of the hat: if you ever get a chance, check out a...
It's weird, but when I first got into hats about seven or eight years ago I first got a Borso and then a BGCD. The Borso was really soft and the Akubra much stiffer. Today the Borso is so soft that I find it hard to keep any shape to it, while the Akubra has softened up nicely and holds its...
It'd be interesting to have a thread discussing the situations that break in and age a leather jacket the fastest. Other than heavy manual labor, I can't think of anything that does it faster than travel.
I was just looking at hats on intl.rmwilliams.com when I came across their green malachite chinchilla boots. My heart skipped a beat, and then I saw the price tag of $645.00 (US). Maybe I'll give Paul Manafort a call and see what he thinks.
Did you try the search function? I vaguely remember a thread about this some years back. You'll have to scroll down through the Gustin entries, as they carried Cone Mills denim and still have a few runs left, I believe. Anyway, good luck.
Ha! That's very close to an outfit that I wear to work at least one day a week, probably two. I've found a couple of very nice chore coats on the J Crew Sales page recently. If you time it just right you can pick one up for considerably under $100.00. One that I paid about $60.00 for I saw the...
I'm a big fan of Peters Bros. hemps. $150.00 and you can pretty much design it to your own specifications. Light as a feather as well. If you want to spend a bit more give Art Fawcett a call: his Milans are the real thing and are really nice.
Beautiful boots. Wear 'em or worship 'em? Utilitarianism or commodity fetishism? I've been staring at them for the last five minutes and can't decide. What jacket would you pair them with?
