    leather jacket lifestyle question 1

    Now - the leather "jackets" I wear on my feet are a whole different story. I feel no reserve whatsoever doing hard, grimy work in these at all...and they have a lot of leather in them...

    leather jacket lifestyle question 1

    I have shoveled snow in heavier-leather jackets before. And I wear them into and out of work in a factory where 600+ people are welding day in and day out. However they are not being worn while I myself am welding. I use Carhartt's and Duluth trading jackets and sweatshirts for actual work...

    Vanson Oxford in octagon leather

    Octagon leather is special. I checked out one (very similar to this one in fact) several years back when Thurston's had their brick & mortar shop in Seattle. It was just broken in, and actually "softer" than I might have expected. It was similar weight as Competition leather. I think it was...

    It's sure a nice jacket. I like this style quite a bit, but this one is not my size, and sadly, way out of my price league. Good luck deciding what to do here...

    Lochcarron Tartan Lining Issue and Advice

    No heathen aspects noted by me! I just prefer the "tuck" for myself. Always done it, so kind of hard to change.

    Boot resole: what to request from cobbler

    Why not just ask - in person - your local cobbler what options exist? In my experance folks prefer this - they know thier trade and thier options, and generally prefer being asked what a customer thinks, instead of being "told" what they are to do. Good work wanting to support local...

    Lochcarron Tartan Lining Issue and Advice

    Could also be the material of the shirt you have on? I have noted that polyester (microfiber) dressy shirts give a little more irritation with wool linings than cotton, however they are much easier to let a jacket lining ride in and out as the jacket is put on/taken off then a cotton shirt...

    White's Boots 400V Smoke Jumper - Black Soft tow 11C

    Disregard - just wore these for a good walk, they fit exactly how White's are supposed to - quite snug. They need a full break-in which I am starting to do. Not For Sale anymore...

    Lochcarron Tartan Lining Issue and Advice

    The only time I do not tuck in a shirt is while wearing a sweatshirt or sweater, for obvious reasons. I just don't like to wear shirts un-tucked. So I have not observed this circumstance with any of mine. However I have found cotton drill to be a bit easier for donning overall. Is it the...

    White's Boots 350V Size 10D Brown

    It would be very nice - these are really thick leather - doubled up on the toe area. Very hard to get any "stretch". But I must like them - I am still wearing them as I type.
