not totally sure about snow...........but I have 2 pair and have worn them a ton over the last 4 years and they have held up perfectly. I don't understand why they don't get more love here. I love the construction, the design and the fit...........way more comfortable than my Frye's.

I wear 9.5 in Purcells and Vans sk8 hi and my 9.5 asics tigers (the green, mexico ones) are borderline small but they fit. Maybe size .5 up if at all.

This one goes in the quick and dumb list:

Thinking about getting a longer wallet next time I am in Japan (and as one other guy was asking about, probably after the next wash of my 45rpms so I don't mess up the ass-wallet fade)... so uh, what do you guys do with them when you sit down say at a restaurant? If I'm not carrying a bag, I'm not sure where I would put it... haha

Seriously, don't worry about messing up a wallet fade. Just wear them as you would. It's supposed to be a natural fade telling the story of the jeans. I doubt there would be any noticeable difference in switching wallets now, and if there was you could remember your new purchase. As to wear to place the wallet when sitting, i mean you could just keep it in your pocket. Are you unable to with the size of the wallet? I thought people could still sit but i don't have a big wallet to compare. I guess you could just put it on your lap, table, or between your legs.

Does anyone know where I could find a leather jacket that's on the slim side? (brown (darkish) or black) I would prefer a b&m store so I could try it on first.

Chest size 36. I haven't seen many that come in that size.

Also, if possible, I'm looking for something in the sub $300 range.

Thanks!

Oats, This one at Banana Republic is very slim (and also pretty short) in size Small: http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse...scid=512419002 I'm a 36, too, and it fit me well. If it's on sale at the end of the season, I may pick it up, since it's very hard to find anything small enough for guys like us at thrift stores (typically the best place to pick up an affordable leather jacket).
