    Cuffed Jeans

    I think they both look fine. I usually wear mine somewhere between the two. Any more than the second, though, suddenly gets ridiculous.

    " KING-O FCC - The Hunter" - Thedi Leathers

    The French Cancan 'Hunter:' 1920s shawl-collar leather with a Gallic twist... http://fcancan.blogspot.fr/2013/06/i-had-dream-part-1.html Sort of a cross between an Aeromarine/Heron/Cossack and a Mackinaw cruiser. I like it a lot. Thoughts?

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Meanwhile I'm not sold on the Aero blue leather. It does look a bit 'fashion,' as my kids would say. For some reason the Mushmans looked more real, somehow (though neither one are for me). I used to have a blue Brimaco jacket which I liked but it just wasn't versatile enough.

    True as far as it goes, but it's the necessarily part that's usually the kicker...[huh]

    Norshor Leather

    ...And I thought the new name looked familiar. Found it via Patrick Segui's Riveted blog a couple of weeks ago: http://segui-riveted.blogspot.co.uk/

    Norshor Leather

    I'm also hoping that Mark will do more M1941s. I think Bretron's jacket is amazing - the details are unbelievable - but I just can't pull off the lancer/Perfecto front any more, if I ever could, so I'm not even going to entertain the slightest bit of envy. Not the slightest bit, I tell you...;)

    Old leather jacket "restretching"?

    I expect you've seen this already - http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?72414-Lengthening-the-Arms-and-Tapering-a-Classic-Vanson - but there's a solution to your problem which doesn't require surgery (for you:eeek:).

    Cheap(er) LVC stuff

    Maybe if we promise to let large, dirty dogs sleep on our gingham jackets when we're not wearing them?

    Newby question regarding selvage jeans

    Re shrinkage in the tub: I remember my mother (a hipster in her day) telling me that people she knew used to sit in the bath with their new jeans to shrink them in the early 50s or even earlier - got the impression that her generation learned about the finer points of denim from GIs posted over...

    Cheap(er) LVC stuff

    Seconded. But, damn: f I hadn't just insulated my roof (after the longest, coldest winter for 50 years) I would be all over that Menlo. Prioritising heat and comfort over fashion... will I never learn?

    Cheap(er) LVC stuff

    The gingham is nice but the distressing is insane! If I wanted a jacket that looked as if a large, wet dog had been sleeping on it for two years I'd... well, I've probably got a couple of those lying around, come to think of it. And I once left a fairly new Abercrombie & Fitch canvas duck work...

    Brothel creepers are badass, with leathers or without! I used to more or less live in Robot shoes, preferably black suede with pink piping... Edward's right: I think if you scratch most of the UK vintage jacket/boots/selvedge obsessives these days, you'll find an old punk, or a mod, or even a...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I'm not sure... the welt's disintegrating and it's beyond the capabilities of my local cobbler. They should in theory last longer but they've been worn very hard. I haven't thrown them away yet, though!

    Get thee to Trickers on Jermyn Street at sale time. They usually have some bargains. I might try for a pair of Malton brogue boots this year.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Currently my trusty Trickers Grassmeres. My favourite Red Wing Chelsea boots just gave up the ghost after about 6 years of hard use and will be replaced - fantastic things, and overall a better buy than RM Williams, possibly, though I always used to wear RMW Gardners before the Red Wings. Have...
