    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    Try a pair on when you see them Boot Barns (if you have that chain) has them on the shelf along with Tractor Supply and most other farm/Ag related stores. The pocket isn't too hard to access, but they are a little smaller than some and with the size of today's smart phone - they do get a bit...

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    I have owned LC King's (standard 5-pocket denium jeans) as well, when I purchased them 4 years back were ~ $65.00. They are now $115.00 and really, they are made in USA in Tennesse but have not worn any better, or been all that much of an improvement from the $30 Mexico constructed Wranglers...

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    Can you link in this information? Just looked at thier site, all I am seeing are Selvedge denim (Which the Wranglers & Levi's are not) and $100+ on price - but most "sold out"

    The " big 2 " in budget denim

    I highly recommend the Cowboy Cut's by Wrangler's. Typically around $30 (depends upon the store) and available in a very wide range of size. Only downside of the higher rise & snug cut is the pockets can be a little tight to get your phone out of. They are seriously durable, I have 2 pair...

    Nicks VS White's Boot sizing

    +1 on Kyle from Baker's however I will caution this - Baker's do not appear to carry the Nick's Neither does thier sister company - Drew's boots. I have found thier sizing comparable, perhaps just a bit closer to brannock on the Nick's. I have had a few pairs of both, but overall I have more...

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    This captures both my appeal and slight difficulty pretty well. I really like red, especially the "earthy" tones of red and really always have. But most of my coats & jackets growing up were blue, or green (Pioneer corn seed jackets, dad got them free with his yearly seed orders). So maybe...

    New Enthusiast - in need of help

    Thomas - very glad you are on here - welcome to Fedora Lounge! I was also passionate about vintage items when I was 17, however at that time I was still ~ 5' 6" tall and about 125 lbs. I am now 6' 1" tall and ~ 195 lbs. So my folks encouraged me to wait till I was done growing to make many...

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    This is a question I've been wrestling with for quite some time now. The color of Cordovan, which is a dark red to brick-red/brown and nearly anywhere in-between, is such a difficult color to "pin down" as to what it is and how it's perceived. I personally love the color of cordovan...

    Aero Route 66 - 44 - Cordovan

    Tough sale here, but it's just not getting much wearing time. Very nice pre-owned "Route 66" by Aero, modified slightly with upper zippered pocket was deleted when the jacket was built. Purchased by me from the original owner, this very nice jacket features the following: HQHH CXL Horween...

    Just Leather jackets -

    ^^ I would say Branded is indeed similar. A big differance I just found - moleskin pocket lining for all 4 pockets (inside and outside) and the leather used on some Branded, and most of the Fox Creek jackets is a "naked" cowhide. Which tends to be matte of finish, very soft and does not...

    My Second Thedi Arrived- Mixed feelings

    Nice post there Nickv - it's always interesting getting something we've highly anticipated and then realize it's a little different than we expected. Really glad your wife is supportive on this! I didn't say it is clearly in my post, but I would also wear this jacket as-is or try and find a...

    Just Leather jackets -

    ^^ Right, quite a few details on thier Facebook page. I actually sent them an email providing some details of my jacket and this thread linked to it. Hope they respond, and maybe even better join FL community. They were looking to move from California. Hope thier travels go well.

    My Second Thedi Arrived- Mixed feelings

    It's no illusion. It's shorter by at least 1.0 inch. If it were me I'd ask for 1.5" more to be sure (at least in the back, 0.5" would be fine in the front). It is a gorgeous jacket however! That one piece back, the simple, refined style, and the Leather are all off the charts! However if...
