    Rings

    I've been collecting, buying and selling these rings for a while now as well. Your grandfathers ring is pretty spectacular and in great condition. You could easily get a jeweler to replace the eyes with stones or glass. The history of these rings is varied, but originally they were melting down...

    Who pays top dollar for RRL? Not me...I wait for it to show up on eBay at rock bottom...er, cheaper prices. I've only owned a few pieces in all honesty.

    I saw that yesterday flat-top....some nice wabash stuff in that look book. Wonder if it will ever make it's way into the secondary market? Seems like certain items are tough to find on eBay...for example the officer's chinos.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks guys....was wearing them again last night. Breaking in very rapidly...they have a full leather sole on mine, so not getting much outdoor use in the winter weather.

    White's "Open Road" model start at $249....pretty good value. I don't own a pair, but I have White's semi-dress and they are fantastic.

    Got the Vente Privee order....chinstrap Sunset shirt in kelp was great, no so much on the canvas bag. It's sort of rubbery feeling and it's getting sent back! :mad: No word on the t-shirt that I ordered yet.

    Still waiting on a partial shipment from vente-privee...luckily it was only a t-shirt that was held back.
