    Leather Ike Jacket

    Good evening, All, I saw some time ago some talk about a leather Ike jacket, but did anything come of it? I asked Aero if they could make one, and they said "no." Is there a leather ike jacket out there, or if not, does anyone know who would make one? I'm tired of buying real ike jackets...

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    As I go deeper down the rabbit hole, what about Montana Pitch blend? It seems like a possible Hubert's contender. Alas, neither is available in Europe, and often the shipping costs as much as the product itself... -F

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    I'm very curious to try Huberd's from what I read. What made you switch from the other polishes? And why no wax? My my my, this is a dilemma, I hate it when another possibly amazing product is suggest to me, as I'm quite set in my old-fashioned polishing ways... -F

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    I'm not ready to buy a dryer *yet*, but we'll see how my on-order William Lennon's hold up, and maybe for the next round! After leaving the Canadian army, I briefly joined the Lithuanian reserve, and they had "drying closets" for shoes, that were made a little bit warm, for your combat boots to...

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    I could see this being a problem if you took the boots *somewhere else* where they don't have an Iron Ranger last for the rebuild...but for Redwing themselves to refuse a paid repair puts the wearer in an unfortunate situation, since *nobody* else can do this job (easily) other than Redwing. I...

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    I picked up a cheap pair of cedar shoe trees after the Iron Ranger horror story that I read linked to in the post above. Any tips for shoe trees? Or just insert and that's it? -F

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    Thanks for the reply, and this is heartening to hear--I'd hope that my William Lennon's hold up as well as your boots have, as I do try and care and condition even my combat boots on a regular basis. This is the post over on reddit that inspired this post here...

    Resting or Rotating Boots

    Good evening, All, I'm new in town, so before I get to my question, here's a quick introduction: I'm a former infanteer from Candada now living in Eastern Europe and teaching English. Since the military, I've had a thing for boots that are made to last, and I found this site while looking for...

    Modified William Lennon 78TC

    Mil5419, can you give us an update on the boots? My boots are almost finished, but as they haven't arrived yet, I'm consoling myself by looking through old William Lennon boot posts!
