    Plaid Wool Mackinaws

    I own that Woolrich coat. Although they are now imported, they are still very good quality. I got mine for $80 on summer closeout from Gander Mountain a couple years ago. They are cut very large so you can layer. The one thing I don't like are the cuffs inside the sleeves. While...

    Ruin boots to make them fit?

    You do have a point. But they might look funny...I don't usually wear boot-cut jeans... and even if nobody would notice, I'd know they looked goofy... Kind of like how you ladies just feel better when you're wearing nicer undergarments even though nobody but you might see them that day? I...

    Ruin boots to make them fit?

    I thought of that, but the ankle of the boot is a pretty small circumfrence...so if the leather is even longer on top I fear they will end up looking like buccaneer boots! lol I gave at the office. :D These boots were one of those impulse buys that I should've thought through a...

    Ruin boots to make them fit?

    Thank you,Arthur. Mike, I suppose I could stretch the leather, but for some reason the front of the strap kind of bunches when I make the straps tight. I think it's just because of the way my calves are shaped...these boots were not made for defensive linemen... ;) So even if I stretch them...

    Ruin boots to make them fit?

    I just scored a pair of brand new boots that look very much like WWII double buckles. They're suede (roughout?) and have the leather band on top with the double buckles. They're VERY cool and fit my feet well. Plus they're American made. BUT I have large calves(15"+) and these things...

    :eusa_doh: :rolleyes: i can't believe you put Tom Waits in the same SENTENCE with Richard Cheese. while i have enjoyed many of Richard's novelty parodies, Tom Waits is a brilliant songwriter and musician. He's not faux anything in my opinion. He has always had his own odd and...

    Highest price paid, lowest price paid for your fedora.

    I don't own any hats I've paid more than $50 for. And those are new wool caps from Scotland/Ireland. Although the $25 I just recently paid for a black vintage Dobbs stingy will increase as I realized too late that the sweatband needs replacing. :eusa_doh:

    greatest movie ever made?????
