I have a few pairs of the Chippewa Made in USA models. The brown roughouts without steel toes can go all day. It really depends on the boot and your foots...
My son wore his Aero B-3 to Normandy in 2011, and it was the perfect jacket - November, 2011!
It's not the most flattering jacket, but this one is 100% better and the red is my choice. Looks great Speed! You'll be as warm as you'll ever ned to be!
I was just at Filson in Seattle, and it's an amazing place. Watching people making things and the quality is still drool worthy.
That said, no on this jacket for both looks and price.

I'll see if I can get a pic once the wife is done shooting this week. I really love it, and the patterns all match on pockets...
My inner audience was much like J's - but I kept my trap shut for once.
Plastic jacket? No how, no way. But we here ALL have cheap beaters that we love. Some may not admit it, but they do.
I like a couple in the closet. Not every moment calls for a masterpiece.
I have OCD as do others here. I actually get medication for it, so I understand it, but I feel that it was over the top and unreasonable to expect a literal perfect leather jacket.
Nobody offended, trust me, just thought it was too much for a small thread - that in all 99.99% likelihood, will...
