    Baker (Whites) Traveler fit questions

    I have a pair of White's Original Packers in 9C and Baker's Custom Bounty Hunters in 9.5C. Both are extremely comfortable. The Bounty Hunters are brown bullhide and veg-tanned Red Dog and are the softest pair of boots I own. I seem to wear a 9.5C in any Allen Edmonds shoes I own or try on...

    Wanting to Darken Some Leather Boots. Obenauf's?

    That's what I use, the LP. It is like a big tub of butter. Yes, it will darken most leathers. I have the same RW Iron Rangers as illumin8em and they are now almost as dark. The more you apply the darker the leather will get until it has absorbed as much as it can. I also use it on my...

    Leather coat storage

    I have a black leather flight jacket (no idea what style) that my parents bought for me back in 1983 or so (it was slightly over-sized). The manufacturer is Excelled. I don't know if that was a quality manufacturer back then. The jacket has been soaking wet, covered in mud and sleet, worn to...

    "Aviator" shirts

    Man, you NAILED that!!!! The year is exactly correct. My parachute pants are long gone, but the Zodiac boots are still in the closet. Too bad I doubt I'll ever find an excuse to wear them again. andy b.

    Just acquired Vanson Comet

    Beautiful jacket!!! I have been trying to decide what type of leather jacket to get and I keep leaning towards something like yours. I need one of those Ural sidecars to haul my kids around in. Cool bike. andy b.

    Pocketwatches

    Go to the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors web site: http://mb.nawcc.org/ Just read through the pocket watch message boards and you'll quickly find out who the knowledgeable regulars are. Many times those same folks have watches to sell. As pointed out, with the high...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    LOL!!! :) I have been thinking the EXACT same thing since I first found all of these vintage shoe threads on FL. My wife also keeps asking me how I would ever wear used shoes, since I don't even like shaking hands, let alone having someone else's sweaty feet in a pair of shoes I'd wear. I...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    I have a question on that J. Crew workshirt (male or female, doesn't matter). There is a J. Crew outlet near me and when I was in there a few weeks ago they had a bunch of those men's chinstrap shirts. Sadly, they are way too short for my tall spindly frame. :) Anyway, and I'm not sure how to...

    Let's be honest here.....

    I definitely agree that for any activity involving running or jumping or anything else putting stress on joints or your back, a good pair of footwear with modern cushioned soles or insoles is better for you (and also more comfortable). For normal walking around, I am not sure the modern...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Dg, Actually, that helps a lot! These shoes wouldn't be for hiking around in slush, just walking from my car into work across a rather lengthy parking lot. I'm guessing the weather would be somewhat similar to what you'd encounter in Michigan. I'm glad you mentioned the fact the soles seem...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Whenever I join a new forum, my hardest decision is where to jump in. In this case, I have a Red Wing Iron Ranger question, so I figure this is as good a place as any. :) I was looking at a pair of IRs, and was wondering how well the sole will hold up on them. Most of my footwear either has...
