    Akubra Overload

    Darned if I didn't just pull the trigger an a second vintage Snowy River, this time in grey. I was looking at eBay sales to find one similar to my brown one for a female friend, and made a very low offer for one in great shape, with my preferred thin ribbon instead of the leather hatband.

    Need some wisdom on leather boots

    Horween CXL and Horween Shell Cordovan are two different leathers, both are available in Colour 8. Are you conflating the two? My answer mentions the difference regarding mirror shines.

    Need some wisdom on leather boots

    I have a pair of Alden cap toe shell Cordovan boots in Colour 8 with some fine broguing,, I consider them to be a casual dress boot, that can be dressed up or down. They shine when brushed but Cordovan isn't really meant to be covered in polish and given a mirror shine. CXL leather even less so...

    AKUBRA SOMBRERO PICTURES PLEASE

    Nice bash, looks great! Mine has been getting heavy wear this winter, it generates quite a few spontaneous compliments from strangers, unlike any other of my Western hats.

    Auschwitz Anniversary

    I fear that the lessons we learned, or should have, were not learned well enough, or are being forgotten, and are not being heeded well enough today. I'm aware this is not the place for such a discussion, but to concentrate only on the victims, is to ignore the reasons we must never forget. If...

    The Alden 405 Indy Boot is not a workboot.

    Whatever their origins, no one considers them to be a work boot these days, they are, as far as I can tell, considered a Heritage style casual boot. Harrison Ford''s by now well known history of having worn them for his carpentry work and insistence on featuring them in the IJ movie doesn't...

    Akubra Overload

    The crease in mine has been evolving a bit, I lowered the Gus crown a tad and gave the brim sides a bit more curl, and added some downwards tilt to the front of the brim for better sun protection. There's a lot of real estate to work with on the Sombrero! It kept me dry and warm today on a...

    Let's talk about wool coats, jackets, and vests

    I love wearing wool these days, my first layer for hiking, dog walking, and skiing is always Merino, and I wear Merino mid layer sweaters as well for skiing on cold days. I grew up wearing wool duffel coats, and less happily, received a new 'bulky knit' heavy wool sweater knitted by one of my...

    Best Chambray Shirt?

    Don’t they offer a few other Navy options than just RM ? This Eastman Leather one looks great and is less expensive than the RM. Nice light blue.

    Best Chambray Shirt?

    I think Buzz Rickson's or RM would be your best bet, they both have a few different models, the BRs being a lot cheaper and still great quality. If you're in Europe Pike Brothers make a nice one.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I think you are probably referring to historical versions of the different wools, where one became known as higher quality due to the type of wool and manufacturing skill in different regions as they and their usages developed.

    Best Chambray Shirt?

    IME experience Freewheelers are generally the highest quality in terms of fabrics and tailoring, RM makes great shirts but their Chambrays seem to all be naval style. Mister FreedoM quality is always very high, too, but i have no experience with their chambrays. You can't go wrong with any of...

    Best Chambray Shirt?

    I have a Burgus Plus blue one I bought direct from Hinoya, great price on a very high quality medium weight workshirt with white buttons, that I much prefer to the blue buttons often found on Naby style repros. The Blue is beautiful, a bit darker that some but still on the lighter side. I also...
