    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    It’s always good to know the cheaper alternatives out there and find a middle ground, or not. For a cheap hat I recommend thinsulate which is also good for gloves. I got that lil tip from the hilarious William Dafoe candid fit video. I’ll be remiss if I didn’t compliment your engineeer...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    For the sake of bootmaking, I hope Brian can get better and hone his craft more. I fear the LA hype machine may just be stifling another artists potential. For business side just be more upfront and practice the golden rule. Clinch are amazing. have about $1k in store credit in Stndard and...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    I agree that text isn’t the best in way of communication however it does have its advantages to keep things on record. In retrospect I should have done a lot better job of crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s. In the transaction. I was preciously nervously stoked to have a well fitting pair...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    He acted like it was mentioned before. I went through my email and it wasn't, which would've been the ideal time to mention it. For a second I thought that maybe he did mention it at Bootcamp. Yet I know one other fella that was as surprised of this extra charge as I was, and he flew from a...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    I can see that being the case with some custom cowboy boots, I saw Lee Miller sizing up Kirby Allison and it was very detailed extensive. In Brian's email he said the fitting would've been free if it was done in his workshop. I did get a free fitting from, the bootmaker from Nanucella. Very...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I just went down a rabbit hole and found vintage black gorilla fur coats, looking for gorilla leather coat, ala that Mr. Burns vest which I dare say has its versatile dark brown light brown charm. That is nice, Oh man I wonder if there is a thread on purchasing strategies for wardrobes. I feel...

    Minimalist Wardrobe

    How I would like to have this. I am a cluttered mess and am not keen on selling stuff. I live in a small place and money isn't my strongest suit. I am sticking with a minimal set of pants 3 and mostly wearing brown denim I like the idea of working around fixed constraints. My wardrobe...

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    Exactly I came in the situation thinking it was going to be same price that he quoted me on email which was the same price on his website of $2045.00. He did not mention the surcharge for being in BK before hand. I did not think it was $1000 for an MTO boot.

    Brian the Underhanded Bootmaker

    The Underhanding Bootmaker First of all. I wasn’t going to do this but I feel this is a PSA for any boot connoisseurs. When writing this I have that cheated sting residue in my soul. I was warned and still didn’t listen. Bel Biv Devo - That bootmaker is poison. I was attracted to the photos...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Nice to get the science behind the unzipped theory and hanger choice. One leather jacket in, and I feel like Alice peeking down the rabbit hole. What is the answers to -Ideal leathers for different weathers -how specific leathers and colors grains from country to manufacturer and how it ages...

    Horsehide jacket care

    I just learned a time honored bakery in my area closed its local operations since 1937. I ate possibly the last Sfogliatelle, I’ll have with my leather jacket on. No cream spilt but a memory was built in in retrospect

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Exchanging ideas without consorting to some parroted ignominies is what the internet is made to refine. I see your BK bound if I am ever around the area I might just take you up on that beer offer.

    What’s to like about where you live?

    A fellow Nj I have that NYC is a few stops away comfort and autumn is a fine place for some random NYC city trekking. The local cuisine is top notch, albeit expensive it can spark some creative ideas in the kitchen. The sunsets are wonderful I guess this is a worldly thing, but just hits...

    Selfmade Kefir

    Kefir is like having a drinkable plant and need daily maintenance. Which is why I stopped. A NJ guy I had to find a website that sold the grains and order it. Also a collective to purchase raw milk. My favorite is sheep’s milk as it is smooth and sweeter, tied between Buffalo / Jersey cows...

    FS: Freenote Cloth Alcorn Leather Jacket Brown Calfskin Size M (42)

    If I only had a matching pair of brown boots I would’ve had to consider this. FreeNote Cloth IMO makes excellent fitting garments and quality control to make sizing consistent.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    However is it the case that the tail is wagging the dog and leading the consumer by its nose. I for one think with the absurdity of taxes in America free health care should at least by included instead of money going across the word to fund wars corruption and other insanities. However to keep...

    Steeve Reeves' "Building the Classic Physique The Natural Way". Rare book.

    Love those freakshow strongmen tales. Like The Mighty Atom Joel Greenstein would bite quarters in half and ram nails through wood with his hands. He was a lil dude like 5’5” 150 or so.
