    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    OK, so I ordered this waxed jacket from Red Tornado via Ali Express.... Size 2XL. Red Tornado sends a message afterwards saying it's not in stock, asking what other size to ship (stupid question) After a few more minutes, he actually ships some other size without giving me a chance to cancel...

    How do you condition Horween Nubuck?

    So I picked up some used Horween Nubuck boots in gray, and I was wondering if I should condition them in any way? I heard that it's like suede, and that leather conditioners will just stain it rather than condition it. Should I just let it be then? They are nice and clean but I don't know, is...

    Who makes a nice wedge white sole boot nowadays?

    So, I am after something like these Ariats. They have that white work roofer sole but they aren't moc-toe like the rest, but more of an allen edmonds fashion type, which I like. These are out of production, is there a company besides Thursday making this style of boot? Musts are full grain...

    leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

    So, a new stock Aero/bilt is circa 800-1000$ and it's made to fit your body. Yet, I see ebayers pricing their used Aero jackets with often bad zippers and faults, for 650-750$ and THEY SELL! Schotts have a much better used market for newcomers, but are limited to black jackets. Where I come...

    Brown highwayman style jackets with an aggressive V taper?

    Hi there! I was wondering if there was an off-the-rack company that makes a simple half belt jacket with a rather aggressive taper. Something like 24" pit to 20" hem or similar. I already have a schott 689H on the way that is advertised as having an aggressive V taper, but schott doesn't make...
