    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I just took my IRs out for their first walk. Pretty comfy from the get go, a little narrow but I’m used to that and it’ll open out I’m sure. I planned on taking a pic or two but was obviously too focused weaving in and out of people, dropping a shoulder etc. to keep distance

    Wash your jacket before and after pic

    I wasn’t going for shrinkage with the Brooks, more to remove the musty smell. I used warmer water with the Lesco and definitely seen some shrinkage. If not substantial shrinkage, you may improve the fit if you wear it while still wet/damp. Guess it depends what your starting point is vs what...

    Aero Hookless - solid brass or?..

    Some of the repo Talons are not great. Had to replace a matte nickel one on a fairly new Eastman Windward, the slider just stopped knitting the teeth together, on removal there was wear apparent inside the slider channels/guides. For replacement I went for old YKK style with the flat tab, with...
