    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Jimmer, if the shaft is already loosening up and you haven't even worn them out of the house, I have to believe that sooner or later, after you really start wearing them, they'll loosen to a point where this fit issue is of no concern. There may always be some small resistance, but that soft...

    Vintage Finnish Leather Jackets

    What an interesting thread. Love those old photos--the type that make you wish you lived in another time.

    So whose boots are cooler, mine or my wife's?

    I like the look of the Ravens but the narrow toe would never accomodate my duck feet.

    So whose boots are cooler, mine or my wife's?

    Viberg is a Canadien company with a fairly storied history. They essentially made their reputation building incredible, if not very stylish, work boots. I don't know for certain how they price simple modifications but you can customize out the wahzoo on their basic patterns (leather options...

    So whose boots are cooler, mine or my wife's?

    Viberg has garnered a wider audience in the last few years and will likely catch on some day at the lounge. They are some of the best-made boots around, period.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks for the great pics. These boots are a pleasure to look and that thick leather just looks yummy. I hope you decide to keep them so we can see more of them in the months to come.

    Tom Cruise's half-belt... vintage?

    Of course these guys don't dress themselves, or buy from themselves. I wouldn't expect either of them to know much about leather (or denim or boots). It's more surprising to me that the people they pay couldn't come up with nicer jackets/looks. As mentioned though I've seen both those guys...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Thanks for the review, and sorry to hear the boots aren't going to work out for you. That's a bummer. It is indeed a tricky type of fit issue and there's nothing unfair in acknowledging a boot isn't going to work out. Who wants to feel broken after getting out of their boots? Sounds like the...

    Yet another fashion "aviators jacket"

    The jacket looks good, actually. I don't think it's RRL, just RL blue label.

    Neither of those jackets above looks good.

    Early aero a2 30-1415 39-1410p!

    Ha, I know it only too well. It's almost like I have a vice waiting in the wings. I've caught a glimpse of it, it's caught a glimpse of me. We're circling one another, waiting for the right moment to rush together and lock horns with great force (and expenditure). It's a strange feeling.

    Early aero a2 30-1415 39-1410p!

    Nice jacket! I need to stay out of these A2 threads, makes me want to get one.

    New Aero Long Half Belt

    Wow, that jacket is a beauty. Arm length looks absolutely fine and the main thing is that you feel good with that length, which you obviously do. I like mine jackets with longer arms but not because I believe it looks better or is more correct, it's just what feels good to me. These pics make me...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Tonypaj, you must own a lot of nice footwear. I own and wear lots of boots, aldens, yuketen, mfrc's, as well as stuff like 1000 miles boots and chippewa, and I more or less like them all. But I felt the Murdock was one of the nicest boots I've ever had on my feet. The leather was incredible...

    Aero 15142 (PICS & measurements)

    Butte, how many A2s do you have?

    New Aero 'Pioneer'

    Aero clearly uses real kudu, based both on the grain you see in the pictures and on their explanation of the leather sourcing/research involved in developing the pioneer. I owned a pair of Alden's kudu chukkas and the leather is tough and very nice but, unlike the Areo kudu samples, very...

    New Aero 'Pioneer'

    I really like the styling on this jacket, front and back. I keep going to Aero's site and scrolling through the pictures. The length looks close enough to the hwm that any difference is probably negligible, esp. considering how many people decide to modify the length of the hwm by and inch...

    The quest for a perfect fitting Aero goes on

    If it makes no difference to the feel or drape of the jacket, then being in the States (making an Aero repair more cost prohibitive) I'm feeling inclined to suck up the initial cost and add the leather. I like the way it looks--it makes the jacket seem more finished. In the larger scheme of...
