    New Alexanders Lavant - Burgundy Chrome Excel Steer

    Very Very similar Cooperson .. about the same weight give or take a 1/4oz and certainly not like the really heavy steer which had become common in recent times. It's really flexible but not floppy ( if that makes sense) ..... it's got a really nice feel, heavy enough and substantial but not...

    Alfred Sargent's .... "D ring" chukka boot (single D ring) ... they're old(ish) but still possibly the most comfortable boots I have .... an they match the jacket really well being of very similar leather :)

    New Alexanders Roadster - Black Chrome Excel Steer

    I never liked really short jackets .. I wouldn't want it any shorter .... It'd then feels like I was wearing a Bolero jacket. It's one of the reasons I don't really like A2's .. sort of too short and too neat ( and elastic cuffs and bottoms really niggle) ..... it's a personal thing, I love...

    Help with belstaff jacket id

    Not an expert on Belstaffs .... but this is identical to the "modern" trialmaster in the Belstaff Outlet Store at Bicester Village ( was there on Sat looking at a "Knockhill" Leather jacket which turned out to be a bit of a waste of time). I tried on a few wax cottons and all had the branded...

    Red Wing Wolverine 1000 mile boots sole questions.

    You can easilly put a rubber cover sole on a leather sole ( would be glued though .. but no less wearable .. in fact it would protect the leather sole underneath). The Beckman - which I have the 9035's and not the ones you show - is actually a leather base with the Vibram rubber sewn into...

    Is my Eastman A2 way too small?

    I'm with all the other replies re. comfort .. if you're comfortable in it ... then it fits. If not ... it doesn't ! Fit is such a subjective thing ( believe me I should know) some people like jackets a little looser than the 1940's cut .... others a little smaller .. more 1920's. I'd go for...

    Which solution / dye to use to cover faded areas of leather jacket

    I'd probably go down the road of one of the "renovating creams" ... WOLLY do a great range of colours which will not only cover up scratches but will also shine up a treat and they have a considerable amount of colour in them so choose as close as you can. Alternatively there are a number...

    I did alright :) The most expensive was the first one at £560 ..... the rest have been cheaper except the two Horween ones which have been at retail. They were funded by the sales detailed above .... so no wallets were killed in the making of this collection :)

    The new Aeronautical from Aero Leathers - in Petrol Blue

    nice jacket ... Finally a style from that era without patch pockets ...... but still one for the button fetishists only ( and that's not me). Liking the fact it's steer .. I really NEVER understood the facination with FQHH ... there are just so many more options with steer. UK sourced ...
