    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    Just FYI. For those of you thinking about custom White's Semi-Dress the following gives an idea: http://www.bakershoe.com/build-a-boot/ Isn't quite as cool as a car builder as you can't see what it looks like! But does give the enormous choice of leathers, soles, structure, and most...

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    All great advice. I think I'm going to do a little ebay stalking but am likely to just do the old fashioned method of saving up money. An actual representative (I think) of White's sells a random assortment (Ebay ID: whitesriver). They've a few beautiful looking Semi-Dress which doesn't do me...

    Leather Black Friday Sales?

    That's a good deal for the Schott! If you're looking for something a good deal different. Barneys has a few Belstaff jackets for sale. Still 700+ but that's at least 400+ dollars less then new.

    I very much all the advice guys! Always great to see actual information from people with years of experience. It's also nice to know that these things can actually do what they claim. Last, be tough, and be used for actual work instead of just style. As a small further question has anyone...

    Thanks very much for the evaluations! It sounds like both have been great purchases. I've always thought that should be the goal. Buy something with a high level of quality and then just keep going year after year.

    I'm once again thinking about taking the plunge into the costly world of high quality boots. As many on this forum have suggested a Whites Semi-Dress seems to be a good (hideously costly) option. One of the bigger issues with this is that for some strange reason they aren't sold in all of New...

    Red Wing 9017 Chukka!! Anyone?

    Those are amazing. I'm also a big fan of the Red Wings Chukka with the Crepe soles. Nothing better if you're going to be on your feet then crepe...

    New AERO 1930s Halfbelt in goat...A very serious pictorial review

    Threads like these are why I did order a Aero jacket in goat skin. I thank you even if my wallet doesn't!

    Do you have a Throat Latch on your Aero?

    The only throat latches I like are the hidden ones. I've always had a thing against the ones that just hang-out randomly hitting something for no good reason.

    New Lewis Leathers Offerings

    Funny thing is that they have one of the originals from the 50's but they don't show the back and the pockets have some small differences! I do think they need to work on the photography it's difficult to get an idea of quality when the leather is overly bright and then washes out the details...

    My newest shoe obsession is this: The Red Wing Crepe Heritage Chukka. Oiled Leather construction and still made in America. Has that nice combination of functionality and tradition. I spend a great deal of time on my feet and I've become a big fan of crepe soles. I also like the full work...

    Arrival of Aero Cheyenne in heavy goat

    Great jacket! I feel the need to say that I'm also in the process of copying it and I hope I'm lucky enough for it to fit as well.

    Vintage Banana Republic safari jackets

    Every so often Banana Republic re-creates some of their older styles. I've a 5 year old leather jacket that has the old Travel and Savanna tag. It's the heaviest leather jacket I've ever seen at a normal mall and I think of it as my gateway drug to my first Aero.:) I think the leather is...

    Tell us your favorite urban walking boot or shoe

    I'm thinking of buying some Abington Hiking Boots. Made by Timberland. Very light and with a traditional look. The thing that worries me about all boots when going on long-trips is if they start to get wearing after a while. I've mostly stuck to a nice decent pair of walking shoes but...

    My goatskin Cheyenne...after some wear

    That's terrible! That is very disappointing. What a shame. I wonder what other interesting hides they have in the back room?

    My goatskin Cheyenne...after some wear

    The fit of your Cheyenne looks a little bit loser then the one for Jan. I wonder why? Is that because it has been slightly modified to be slightly waisted and is a inch shorter?
