    Dr Martens

    I remember when they were for skinheads, cops and postal workers....no longer made in the UK? Kind of bulky and not so attractive. Comfortable? Yes, but I'd rather have style!

    Archival Clothing

    ...I have a shawl collar sweater from Archival and it's top notch. Well worth the cost.

    Again, you can order the LVC stuff from Cultizm.com from the U.S. with no VAT...right around the same price IF it were available readily here in the States. Only in CA can you find it everywhere....

    I have a few pairs of the Pointers and if you want them to be comfortable (as carpenter jeans are supposed to be), get your exact size or go one up if you are on the muscular (or chubby) side.

    30's~40's Work Boots

    They mentioned many factors including the quality/education of the workers, cost of materials, shipping, etc.. Couple that with the fact if you have no workers here, who the f**k will buy your products?

    30's~40's Work Boots

    BTW, I listened to an interesting program on NPR the other day where they discussed manufacturing in the U.S.. It's often cheaper (by cost per unit) to make something here than in another country even with higher labor costs. Maybe Red Wing figured this out?

    30's~40's Work Boots

    Made here using imported materials? That would be my guess. I think that a lot of leather comes from outside the U.S., specifically Mexico.

    I'd go with a pair of these: http://www.bakershoe.com/boots-shoes.cfm/brand/whites-boots/product/2010-hathorn-explorer-plain-toe-logger-by-whites-boots/

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I'd still be wary. The local Red Wing guy told me what I told you before. Maybe they have changed due to the current economy?

    30's~40's Work Boots

    30's~40's Work Boots

    I've got a pair of White's Semi Dress that I've been wearing for the past several months. I can guarantee you that they are worth the cash.

    Sweater neck droop?

    Probably the result of XL head stretching them out...
