    Viberg Boots

    Hm, didn't notice that. No idea what sort of difference it would make in durability or comfort. I guess I'll find out.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Anyone else follow this auction? If they had been any wider, I might have done something rash... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250576995726 "rare ENDICOTT JOHNSON 1910-1920's" Anyone care to lift the pictures and post them for posterity?

    Steamer or kettle?

    That's what I use. San Marco Type 80 leva circa 1981. Works great and offers a lot of control by varying distance from the wand.

    Does that have a special feature for sniping Aussies while they sleep?

    HOT HOT HOT. Only thing missing is explicit shots of the liners/sweatbands. And there I thought porn was prohibited here!

    Viberg Boots

    They seemed happy to make it with any heel/sole I wanted. I went with the standard heel and sole in the picture- seemed right for me. I really hope this boot is as nice as it looks.

    Oviatt's Trenchcoat

    I think if the buckle is missing and the seller didn't disclose this shortcoming, you should return the coat! And let me know when the seller puts it back on the market... :rolleyes:

    There is no dealer in my area. I called the 800 number on their site.

    Tony Nowak Surrogates Jacket

    I think this might be closest: http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/gwcalventura_images1.html I was thinking of John's Monarch civilian jacket, but it appears he has decided not to offer that jacket in favor of this one. Interesting. It was based on the jacket shown here...

    Some questions before I buy a black and brown Aero jacket............................

    Right. One. Seriously, I was disappointed about a year back when I spent a couple of weeks in London and didn't spot a single Aero jacket. I did see a surprising number of Irvins and Irvin-like jackets. Yeah, silly isn't it? What's the carbon offset on one of those jackets?

    Some questions before I buy a black and brown Aero jacket............................

    A tear rolls down my cheek when I read of such severe deprivation. ONLY three Aeros? Why do you torture yourself so? ;) The answers to the original poster's queries, or at least the information one might need to make such choices for one's self, are available on this site, within...

    Tony Nowak Surrogates Jacket

    Hard to believe the original isn't vintage with that wear.

    Viberg Boots

    Okay, I took the plunge. Ordered a pair of Viberg 55 Foreman 6" work boots, plain toe, Vibram 700 Tygum soles. $274 plus shipping. Although my size is listed as stock, it is not in stock and it'll be a couple of weeks or so before I see them. Their Stompers line is, in fact, made in...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Wow HPG You've outdone yourself, HPG. HATCO should hire you to do an ad or a set of jackets for the execs.

    Hudson's Bay point blanket coats

    Wow, I have a Hudson 3 bar red and black blanket on my bed. What a feeling it would be to go from under the blanket to under the blanket jacket. I'd probably fall asleep on the way to work. Somewhere I read that the number of bars on the blanket indicated its value in beaver pelts. But...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    All right which of you lucky dogs got this beautiful 1950s Dobbs before I saw the auction? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150414151867

    Viberg Boots

    No accounting for taste, Papa M. I am not a big suede shoe fan and I am a big fan of Vibram soles. What I meant by the similarity is that it appears the leather portions have the same cut. But yeah, the appearance is different due to the different material. Here is a bit more...

    Viberg Boots

    Presumably the "Bob Cat" in suede http://www.superdenim.co.uk/prodpage.asp?productid=252 is the same model as the Bobcat on their site, with suede and lighter sole? http://www.workboot.com/work_boots/36_Bobcat Makes it less appealing to me. I very much like the standard Bobcat...

    Let's be honest here.....

    Recently I have come to appreciate the subtle pleasure of leather shoes and boots. I have tried over the last couple of years to find a temperature-cool boot. I tried "hybrid" boots like the modern ones pictured in this thread (Bates Enforcers). Yes, comfortable and great grip in the rain...
