    Ha, that must be it! Wish I'd thought to write it to drive down prices.

    Too gross to thrift?

    This article says used hats are too gross to use: http://www.rd.com/slideshows/10-things-you-should-never-buy-at-garage-sales/?trkid=outbrain-all#slideshow=slide21 If anyone plans to throw out a vintage hat in 7 1/2 long oval based on reading this, perhaps I can help take it off your hands?

    Mario Troise and The Hermès Scarf

    I love how easy the video makes it look. That kind of color registration is not easy. I'm sure they have some tricks, but wow.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    I will admit that those 899s look nice. I have been wearing Red Wings for decades, but I don't buy them anymore. I do visit my local shop from time to time (hey, free shoelaces) but I never see anything I want to buy. I have a pair of Red Wing logger boots I must have bought in the mid-90s...

    Wanted MK Maltese Falcon

    They come wrapped in Chinese newspaper, held by a dead guy. Now that's authentic.

    Johnson Leather Inc Jackets and Repair Work

    I was in there early in the afternoon. The only other person there was a young woman in a red dress, which I suspect was not you. Alan wondered why these Fedora Lounge people all wanted that half belt style. I had to tell him it was probably originally my fault...

    Johnson Leather Inc Jackets and Repair Work

    Well this explains it. I dropped by Johnson today and Alan mentioned that someone in NJ on Fedora Lounge was getting a lot of work done... He said the bison is shaved down from a 9 oz hide. Imagine a 9 oz bison jacket. He has 3.5 oz bison samples that look really nice in a variety of colors...

    My Allen Edmonds Dalton Boot Dye Experiment!

    Mine arrived yesterday. I do like the way they look, though you wouldn't confuse them with vintage. They appear to need some break-in and probably boot socks, not dress. Boy do they creak with waxiness. I can imagine that removing the finish on your Daltons in order to dye them was...

    WPG Irvin opinion

    I have Soren's old wpg Irvin. No the zipper is not ideal but I really like the jacket. Unfortunately my family does not. Also it does not go w my hats and frankly we don't have enough winter here in California to justify it. Thinking of selling it sadly. Very roomy and comfy.

    My Allen Edmonds Dalton Boot Dye Experiment!

    Nice and nice to know I'll have options should I not like the gray when/if it arrives. I expect I will like and find useful the gray color, but I won't know till I see them. After waiting weeks I sent AE an inquiry and received this: Dear Sir, We apologize for the delay on this order...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Here are some bolos I've had around for a while. First my favorite: And one turquoise, one malachite, with silver dollars for scale: I thought I'd love the turquoise one more, but it hasn't grown on me. Maybe it will.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    I picked up a Navajo watch band with the marking EJ) on the back: They were guessing Arizona turquoise and maybe Canadian bear claw. I like it... I may be getting hooked. Inexpensive, too. They said they have dealt with generations of silversmith families. Apologies as always for the...

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    So many outstanding items in this thread I hesitate to post my meager items. I'm just back from a trip to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Didn't buy much but I saw some nice things. Probably the best place I saw for buying things was Skip Maisel's trading post in Albuquerque. I gather it opened...
