    Cowboy Boots

    I have a pair of Lucchese 1883 N1547 with the very pointed toe and I find them very comfortable even with my aging feet. Now I m looking for more of a roper style boot, a little more versatile look, and am drawn to the Rios R9002 but I wish they were available in a darker brown (similar to the...

    Rios v Lucchese: who makes the better (tougher) all around boot?

    Cowboy Boots

    Never been a fan of exotic skin boots but these are spectacular. The way the coloration of the stitching matches the skin is incredible.

    Just stumbled upon the Redwing 1155 Pacos. Looks like the real deal and I am a fan of Redwings. Anyone have a pair?

    Boot recommendations wanted

    gtdean48, that's what I figured: Justin, Ariat and Lama have always made "real" boots for real work and like most items made that way, age and use bestow character and credibility. I really like my Luccheses and I wish that I could justify a pair of Rios of Mercedes but I'm not going to wear a...

    Boot recommendations wanted

    Thanks, fellows. The Justin "Apache" looks pretty similar to the Frye (which I agree, does not make boots like they used to). I'd like to find something similar in a Rio but so far, no luck.

    Boot recommendations wanted

    I am looking for a pair of roper style boots that will be good for general, everyday wear. I have cowboy boots, harness boots and umpteen pair of hunting boots and work boots, what I am looking for is something like the Fry Marco Roper ( http://www.zappos.com/frye-marco-roper-dark-brown)...

    Question about Levi's

    Try the 514's. They fit a "mature" body without looking like dad-jeans. The only downside is the denim is pretty crappy and they wear our pretty quickly and I don't wear them when I need a tough pair pants. I'll probably always have a pair of 514's to wear to town but I am seriously thinking...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    My semi-dress are in the dark brown and the color is pretty lack-luster. It's a practical color, works well with pretty much any color jeans/khaki's/wool pants but there is nothing special about it. If I order a pair of the shoes I want to go with a lighter color, like the British Tan or the...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Thanks, BL. First of all, well done on the boots. Is it just me or does the classic brown apprae to be a little "richer" in tone than the British tan?

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Can anyone post pictures of boots/shoes from Baker/Whites in British Tan? I am thinking about having them build a pair of Retro Oxfords (http://www.bakershoe.com/shop-by-brand.cfm/brand/whites-boots/product/retro-oxford-by-whites-boots/) . Thanks, JDG

    Indy, Iron Ranger, White's or ???

    I have owned a pair of Whites Semi-dress for almost 3-years and a pair of IR's for about the same. They can't be compared in terms of build or quality. Don't get me wrong, the IR's are a great boot (except for the soles which are absolutely dangerous on ice, slush or snow). The Whites are...

    Bill's Khakis on eBay?

    Ok, I have to ask if the ridiculous deals on eBay for Bill's Khakis pieces are real? Are the pieces offered real Bill's Khakis' ? Thanks, JDG

    Just go my first Aero....

    My first Aero was a LHB and as I enter the third winter wearing the jacket I can tell you that they keep getting better with age. I ordered mine with a wool plaid lining and I returned it after the first winter and had the lining changed to cotton drill. I don't miss the wool at all. Nice...

    Filson's Tin Cloth Owners, I have a Question

    Saw this coming from your first post. The underlying material is unwashed cotton tin-cloth and it was going to shrink at least 2-3 sizes. Hell, I had a pair of double-tin pants shrink 1" in the waist and 3" in the length after 2-days of grouse hunting in rain and letting them dry near a...

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    How about looking at it this way: does it really matter what material the jacket made of? I mean, if an older gent can poll off a Barracuda in poplin, why not leather?

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    I went through this myself earlier this year before deciding to order a Cafe. Personally I think most of the classic designs look fine on older gentlemen. However there are a lot of "mall jackets" that may look passable on younger folks but not on older fellows. Also, I used the "investment"...

    Ralph Lauren Leather jackets

    RL, Polo, et. ux, all try to duplicate (and bastardize) the designs of the handful of companies that are known for making real-deal leather jackets. High end Mall Quality is about the most accurate description of what people over-pay for. I won't go so far as to say their jackets are junk but...
