Any help/recommendations?


I am a college student and i wear black boots all the time. They are really nice in the winter (where I live is very cold and snowy) and if you get the right pair they go with anything.

I would recommend Saphir polishes and creams. Whatever kind of shoes they are doesn't really matter as the care for the leather won't vary that much. But Saphir makes the best polishes and creams imho. I would also recommend Crema Nubiana as a leather conditioner/cleaner

Could anyone help me ID these shoes? If not possible I would like to know if there is any brand that have this particular color. Is it somewhat a light-chocolate? Really dig the color.

I picked up a full length double breasted military-styled coat for the winter, and it has these buttons on the back. I see these all the time on women's coats but rarely on men's. Have men's coats traditionally featured this 'decoration' on the back? (I use the word decoration because they don't seem to serve a purpose)

Hi, I'm a college kid and I'm looking for a brown leather casual/everyday boot for under $200. I was interested in the LL Bean Katahdin's but they're sold out until April for my size. Can anyone recommend anything that's similar within that price range?

you can get essentially the same boot from chippewa (they make the katahdin) at zappos: http://www.zappos.com/chippewa-6-american-made-gq-boot

also, the red wing iron ranger is a similar style: http://www.zappos.com/red-wing-shoes-iron-ranger-amber

36 inch chest, so I was guessing this wouldn't be fitted which is what I'm going for. I can deal with loose, but I don't want it to be damir doma baggy.
