    Why all the hatred towards black leather jackets?

    I will admit that I have a strong dislike towards Black Leather Jackets, but it is only based on that fact that so many manufacturers make ONLY black jackets. I am very much a "brown/earthtone" person, and I wear very little black. That being said, I own two black leather jackets, but that...

    Vanson A-2 Style Jacket

    Captain - I'm going to insert a little plug here for Dan (theman) - I would bet you'll save money doing a custom order through him. I was looking into getting a custom color Vanson Enfield through him a little while back, and his quote was about $75 cheaper than the quote that Vanson gave...

    My Vanson Comet in brown horsehide

    Gancho -Beautiful jacket you've got there, and if you got it for a good price that's even better! Now I'm thinking I will need a brown Vanson - my wife is going to kill me! ;)

    Leather coat storage

    This sounds like a good idea, but I don't think I have any shelves that are wide enough.... I use good sculpted, wide wooden hangers. I recently bought three more for $8 a piece at Bed Bath and Beyond.

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Drew - I think they run a little wide - not as wide as an "E" or a "EE" width, but definitely a little wider than a pair of Chippewa's or Frye's in the same size and a "D" width. I apologize, it's hard to explain fit in words. The best decription I can give is that there was enough...

    New William Lennon Derby Boot - Singular!

    Drew - I'm pretty sure that I sent them an e-mail through the website. It took a few days to get a reply though. Try e-mailing dan@williamlennon.co.uk Dan was very helpful. By the way, they have two colors of leather that they can make the Derby in - Mid-Brown Latigo (dark tan) or...

    Vanson Enfield

    Pushrod - Thanks for the pictures! That looks like it was an amazing jacket (sorry for rubbing salt in the wound!) I love the color, and the fit looks spot on! You said that one was Horsehide, right? I have to admit, I have never been impressed with Vanson's Horsehide, but yours looks...

    Vintage Hermans S Crumb - THose are fantastic - if they fit like a 13 and you ever tire of them, let me know! I'd say they look like fantastic quality vintage boots.

    Vanson Help

    Aaron -Sorry, but I may have to get you started on this - is the brown a darker brown, or the lighter "cognac" brown (called Octago by Vanson). Also, are they charging you more for the color? If you order direct from Vanson, colors other than black are an upcharge (about $50 if I remember...

    Vanson Help

    This is a tough call - I would strongly urge you to call Vanson and ask about the fit, cut, etc. Their sales guys are very helpful. If you're judging the cut by the pics on their webaite, I don't think the pics represent the actual cut very well. BTW, I didn't know that any of their...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    I have owned my fair share of Engineer Boots - 2 Pairs of Skechers (they're not as bad as you might think), a pair of Chippewas, and a fantastic older pair of Durangos with Goodyear branded soles. However, I think it is time to go the custom order route to get my perfect pair. I have been...

    Viberg Boots

    I tend to look at a Canadian product the same way I look at a US product - I expect it to be of good quality, and definitely much better quality than many of the products that are made in Asia, etc. There are also some great boots made in Britain - I have been greatly enjoying my new William...

    Viberg Boots

    Hey - Just so you know, there are cheaper options for custom ordering a pair of Wesco boots. I have been looking Wesco's at a site called "Big Black Boots" (www.boot.com), and their starting price for custom order Wesco Boss boots in 11" height is $389. The starting price for the same...

    Aero Bomber Jacket: FQHH or mid-weight?

    I have heard that the "vintage" FQHH is fantastic as well - just as thick, but softer and more pliable.

    Fox Creek Leather Appreciation Thread

    Thanks again! When I referred to the liner, I was wondering about the removable lining that comes with the jacket - they describe it as a "full sleeve liner". It's also nice to hear how thick the leather is. I thought my Fieldsheer was tick when I bought it, but apprently I was wrong!

    Fox Creek Leather Appreciation Thread

    Thanks foryour replies guys! It's always helpful getting info from firsthand users. I gave Fox Creek a quick call today to inquire about the possibility of ordering a Grayson in brown leather. They said it would be a special order and it would cost $80 more than the standard price, so a 44...
