    Bracelets for Men with Dress Clothes

    Just saw some pictures of Elvis where he wore bracelets with his name on them. Sometimes on the right and sometime on the left, next to the watch. The writing was always facing outwards, though.

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks Bama! I did not know about Pedro Aldecoa, I am going to contact him. Jones is indeed from Leon, Mexico. I heard that their quality used to be not too great, but that they have improved drastically since. His prices are definetly the lowest I've seen, and almost seem too good to be true...

    Bracelets for Men with Dress Clothes

    If you're right handed, I'd go for watch on the left, bracelet on the right. I think that's the "classic" way.

    Cowboy Boots

    I was able to see today Paul Bond's site, as I couldn't access it as of yesterday, for whatever reason. Their design-your-own-boot section is very interesting. By the way, I just learned about wood pegged soles and watched a youtube video about it. While I think the making process is really...

    Bib overalls and suit jackets

    Personally, I wouldn't do that. But I bet someone could pull it off!

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks again for the useful informations, fellas. Michael, I really like the type of leather used for the vamps of your recent Paul Bond's. Was that waxed or oiled suede? What is that extra piece of leather over the heel? Paolo

    Bib overalls and suit jackets

    Nice looks. I like to wear a heavy plaid shirt over the overalls instead of a sportscoat.

    How to alter jeans lenght?

    I don' mean they sell them with the cuffs already cut off, but that you can purchase the pants and then have their tailor cut them off and re-sew them at the correct lenght. I just found out there are a few businesses in NY and Cali that will hem your jeans with a chain stitch for 25$. A bit...

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks. I checked out the sites linked and found good infos (and I just learned what "boot tongue" refers to). The Spain company would make for a more convenient process, but I feel an authentic pair of boots should be American-made (well Mexico is close enough ;)). I can't remember the name of...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    The manliest way ever would be to carry a leather saddle bag over your shoulder. Pair with a Stetson for maximum effect.

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks fellas. I just went over the last 20 pages of this thread, great infos and great pics, the posted videos were especially interesting. As for the boots I have in mind, I am considering a few Mexican makers... not sure if their style would be any different from US ones. What I know so far...

    The Man Purse Aka. THE MURSE YES or NO ?

    Some of the pictured bags are really nice, I especially like the one Lean'n'mean made himself. Awesome job! However, what is with the world wide hatred agains fanny packs? I agree that some are truly ugly, but others are just fine. I wear mine proudly. And it's red, marked Coca-Cola nonetheless.

    How to alter jeans lenght?

    Here where I live, it's almost impossible to find different inseam sizes for jeans. They all seem to be L34 or L36 and, for me, that's awfully long. If I take them to be altered like any other pants, though, the jeans hem will lose that typical thick, wrinkly aspect which I feel it's part of...

    Cowboy Boots

    I forgot to add that I don't ride a horse, but I do ride a motorcycle (1984 Honda 500VT).

    Cowboy Boots

    Hello gentlemen. I've been toying with the idea of buying a decent pair of cowboy boots for years, saw this thread and thought I should ask the experts for some advice. I do currently own a pair of made-in India pigskin-lined cheapos with wood heels that hurt my bad ankle when I walk, and as a...

    Lapel buttonhole on wrong side of Bogart's suit

    Hello gentlemen. I'm watching The Big Sleep (1946) and noticed Bogey is wearing, about halfway through the movie, a single breasted suit where his lapel buttonhole is on the right side. I've never seen that. Was that a period thing? Mistake on the tailor's part?

    Soul revolver UK

    I have one Soul Revolver jacket. I can say that the leather on mine is pretty thick, although I would bet their current/regular leather is much thinner. Very 70s inspired, even the logo tag, as corny as the name may sound, looks cool with a hippyish design. If you decide to go with them, be...
