    Leather Soles on Ice.

    I'm over 60 and even with a rubber overlay on my boot's soles, I tend to skate more than I really want to. While I'm pretty agile for my age, I'm thinking a pair of those elastic gizmos that stretch over the sole and bite into ice/snow will be the ticket for next winter. Retromoto

    $700 Horween Dublin Jacket -- Thoughts?

    I don't mind the chest pocket as it would not be a deal breaker, slash pockets are fine. The back is missing something....I believe the Dublin leather is vegetable tanned, not sure what was done for the weathered effect although it's a bit much for my taste. I'd rather the weathering be done by...

    I received my jacket today, this is (12) days after ordering, I feet this was excellent service as the item was built upon ordering for me and my size. My initial impression is the jacket has some heft to it. The 30oz. construction w/ doubled front and back coverage should more than keep me warm...

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    I'm not sure of your location although we've had as much as 90" of snow over a winter and along with the typical associated ice and slippery conditions, the Rockford, IMO is very marginal to walk on with the standard soles. As far as a D width goes, what do your feet actually measure out at for...

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    Thanks for the input, Since I typically wear a narrow or semi narrow, I was hoping to select a boot which is perfect in length as the shorter the boot, it is also a bit narrower. I usually wear a medium weight cotton sock. These are not really a winter boot so I wouldn't wear thick socks with...

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    Any other feelings on sizing?, I have a opportunity to purchase at a discount and would like to purchase a pair. As mentioned I typically measured at 10.5N although was thinking a 10D in the Wolverine Rockford. I've even heard mention of a subtracting a full size, just not sure if that's doable...

    which colour RW Iron Ranges..?

    I have an older pair of Chippewa boots and they originally were close to the RW Amber Harness. While they were nice in that color, I wanted a bit more brown, I applied the Flying Squirrel polish and like this a lot better...

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    While I have a Nordstrom about 90 miles away, I noticed Nordstrom's site doesn't show a Wolverine Cap Toe boot. While It's possible the store may have additional styles in stock, I'll call before making a 180 mile run. Thanks for the info. BTW, I don't do eBay so not a concern. Retromoto

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    Thanks for the feedback, I also considered the Red Wing Iron Ranger although local RW dealer doesn't stock them, too expensive for the area is my guess. That said, he was cheaper than I expected, even less than online. Still a special order he stated. Retromoto

    Wolverine 1000 mile, Rockford Cap Toe

    Seriously looking at the "Wolverine 1000 Mile, Rockford, Cap Toe" boots, what seems to be the verdict on quality and fit? Where is the best supplier online? I typically wear a 10.5N although from what I understand, they tend to run large. Retromoto

    Thanks for the viewpoint and recommendation. The jacket I'm interested in is the North Shore, Double Back, Double Front in Red/Black Shadow which is a 30oz, 85/15 Wool blend material, The 85/15 blend IMO is typically "rougher" than a virgin wool material. I'm not sure which jacket you were...

    Coat is SOLD pending payment, thanks for looking. I purchased this USA made, L.L. Bean Mackinaw coat new in the early 1990's and it was one of my favorite coats through the years. It is a size "large", The sizing is ample in that it fits like a 44. I always wore a sweater or wool vest over a...

    Some new boots - can't live on jackets alone...

    Very nice boots, I had a pair of Ricoh lace to toes years ago and they were my favorite boots. Once broken in they felt like a natural extension of my foot. I have a bad ankle and they worked very well with my reduced range of motion. Retromoto
