    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Looking at Hankh's Rolex, just how durable are vintage Rolex watches? I know the new ones are pretty much bomb proof, but are the vintage watches capable of being worn daily and subjected to the occasional splash of water from a spigot or splash? Guess that is really a question about any...

    heavy canvas pants

    Filson dry-finish double-tim. I believe they have a button fly - and you will NEVER find a heavier canvas pant. NEVER.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    The standard White heel looks a little weird to me. Just not my cup of tea and I think they take away from dressiness of the boots. As for the colors, I believe the choice is black or brown and there are multiple pictures of Travelers in black and in brown in this thread. I have the brown...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    What you see in the picture is a 90 degree heel. These shoes are actually made by Whites and if you go to the Whites website you will see their traditional heel - which is slanted, similar to a cowboy boot. If you go back through this thread you will see the options Baker offers. Capped...

    Show us your Guns!

    I had never seen a peep sight like that one until you posted but I found another one today: http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partDetail.aspx?catId=12&subId=78&styleId=266&partNum=AAH-983 I am a fan of traditional "plains" rifles, although there is nothing sexy about them. Guess I...

    30's~40's Work Boots

    You can't compare them to Ecco shoes. To me, Ecco shoes are not fish nor fowl. They are not dress shoes and they are not casual shoes. They are built for comfort, period. That being said, I feel my BT's are more comfortable than any other dress-type shoes I have. What makes them comfortable...

    I'll try to get some photos up today or tomorrow. IF I can keep them off my feet long enough.

    NEW A-2 HORSEHIDE JACKET

    Very well said, JJ. Conform or relax is a much better way to explain it.

    NEW A-2 HORSEHIDE JACKET

    I received my Aero FQHH in June and it was so tight I could barely zip it - definitely not comfortable. Aero as well as members of the FL told me that it would relax, and it has. Not saying yours will but FQHH jackets from aero definitely do.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    Vintage style glasses? I know this one has been discussed before but other than Shuron, what company makes high-quality fames for glasses? Thanks, DG

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Three weeks in my Baker Travelers and they have become my favorite shoes/boots. Extremely comfortable, virtually no break in required, had a shine last week and they look like new again. I really like my IR's but anyone considering Red Wings, my advice is to save your money. The Bakers are...

    New Aeroleather LHB just arrived!

    Congrads on a fine jacket. I have been wearing my LHB pretty much every day since the weather cooled enough and it just keeps getting better. The only negagive: my wife is pretty sick of people stopping me and asking about the coat.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I have the same laces on my new Travelers and I agree - they just don't seem right for the boot, but I am not sure what alternatives there would be. Your description of the boots is spot on. I have spent most of the past 3-days wearing my Travelers on concerete, asphault, frozen ground and...

    Hitler's Book Returned

    I believe it was Hitlers Photo Albums that were snatched by a guy in the 101st.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I'll get some pictures up later this week but the fit is perfect. Great arch support - very comfortable. They feel like they were made for my feet.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    My new Baker (Whites) Travelers arrived this afternoon. WOW! They feel terrific and look pretty damn snappy, as well. Brown, cap-toe, antique brass eyelets, vibram sole. Oh, so very nice and well worth the 4-week wait. Unfortunately, every shoe and boot will be compared to these and fount...
