    Riding/adventure boots?

    I've always loved the look of boots like these. Money isn't the problem - finding a place to wear them (without being laughed at) is. Let's see, I could join the RCMP. Nah, I'm too old and I'm not Canadian. I could buy a horse. Nop again. I hate to shovel horse ****. I could wear them in a...

    Russett colored leather Gloves??

    Talk about choices! I really like the bronze. It looks a lot like the color of a jacket I used to have. I jacket didn't fit me very well, but man was the leather nice. http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/ev_images/RW_epaulet.jpg Paul-

    Me too! I don't want to be labeled 'the guy who stepped out of an old movie', but it would be nice to find some designers that like the 30's etc. as much as we do. Paul

    "It" - For the Gals.

    A little off base... Hello- There's an article in this week's New Yorker about Cesar Millan, the host of Dog Whisperer. In the article the author quotes some academics about the influence of body movement and how it's perceived by humans and dogs - or in other words, what makes one person a...

    In The Kitchen!

    Hello- May I be so bold as to make a few suggestions about a ‘period style’ remodel? 1) Find a builder/designer that shares your enthusiasm for the period you have in mind. They’ll be able to make all sorts of suggestions that will make the project feel right when you’re done. If...

    resizing alden shoes

    Hello- I saw it on the Indy Fan forum. There are countless threads on Alden 405 boots, and a fair number about rebuilding old Alden shoes. Someone mentioned that you can size a shoe up or down up to one size. I have no idea if this throws off the proportions of the shoe, but Alden has...

    resizing alden shoes

    All- I've heard that you can resize a shoe during the rebuilding process. Does anyone have any experience with this? I've sent Alden an email about this, and they've replied that they can do it, but that's all they said. I'm sure there's a downside, but not knowing much about shoe...

    Cordovan colored jackets

    Hello- Thanks for your input. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your jacket, would you? I've seen the pictures Mark from Aero has posted on his web site, but they're all of brand new jackets. I still don't know how cordovan will look after it's been aged a bit (When I think of...

    Cordovan colored jackets

    All- I just received my first pair of shell cordovan shoes in the mail today (:) for my feet, :( for my pocket book.) I was a little surprised by the color. All I can think of is dried blood (a dark and muted brown with some burgundy mixed in.) I understand that this will change over...

    Oooooo, indy boots in shell cordovan.

    Hello- I just spent all my lunch money on a pair of shell cordovan's from Allen Edmonds. :eek: They have very nice feel to them, but from what I hear, I need to wear them a while before they start showing their true beauty. I would like to commend you on the "Spectators" you recently...

    When it rains, it pours! B-25 ride anyone?

    Hello- I'm so jealous! I actually work a couple of hundred yards from Moffett Field in California. Our office is frequently 'buzzed' by various jet aircraft during the week. The fun part, however, occurs right before an air show. The Blue Angles/Thunderbirds come around every so often...

    Custom Shoe Guinea Pigs Needed

    Indy- I've bought a lot of things over the internet, but never custom shoes. Given that you're on one half of the world, and I'm on the other, how would you make sure that the last you're using would fit my foot? Thanks for your time. Paul PS. I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of...

    Old Fedora Photos from Japan

    Hello- Is the picture of the dog for real? I used to have a dog that was horrible at playing fetch. As soon as he caught a tennis ball, he would sit down and rip the cover off the ball. Paul-

    Does anybody make a quality long coat?

    Hello- Here's a link to the only 'quality' leather great coat maker I know of. http://www.lostworldsinc.com/Vintage_Trench_Coat.htm I suspect they want better part of $2K for it. I asked Aero about it a couple of years ago, but they indicated that they didn't make one. I hope they...

    Fathead

    All- I've lost 20 lbs recently and I'm wondering how much my hat size will decrease as I approach my goal (I would like to lose another twenty.) Can anyone provide any guidance (e.g. one hat size per X lbs.)? By the way, I shave my head so I can't use hair as a buffer. Thanks for your...
