    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

     I have them - bought them many, many moons ago - before they were considered "in style". Having said that, they are great for rain and snow - providing you wear a thick enough sock to keep your feet warm. I tend to need/prefer boots that offer more support and I never felt these boots were...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

     Well said; agree 100%. I like Filson bags (and some clothing) for the same reasons. I have no need of dressing formally 99% of the time, so the Filson bags suits me just fine - plus I like the fact that they are made in the USA. I have zero interest in Filson's newer - nylon luggage. Bob

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Agree with the others- those Viibram soles and heels look great. And they add much more basic functionality, probably longer life as well as increased comfort. i m hoping most good shoe repair places can do it proficiently. Bob

    Can you wear cream or white linen pants and black shirt with brown shoes and brown belt, or is it black only? Bob

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    That's a result of poor temperature management afield. Waxed cotton breathes way better than any of the synthetic membranes. That jacket should have been shed the moment you noticed you were heating up. Thanks! Good to know about the waxed vs synthetics - as I have mostly Filson waxed cotton...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    @bobm are you under some obligation to make every other post about leather treatment? Hey meso, Nah, it just seems that way! I just got a nice pair of leather hiking boots and wanted to get the scoop. It seems it hard to have both - waterproof and breaths well. Given the choice, I'll opt for...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Here's a question regarding using Sno-seal, Obenauf's, etc. to ensure waterproofing the boots. By using any of the waterproofers, doesn't that severely affect the boot's breathability? Isn't that the tradeoff? Bob

    Arrow Moccasins

    So...here is the $150 question: Do the double soled mocs have any usefulness in the city? I can't really get a straight answer (though I did see a guy wearing them on 9th ave in Chelsea the other day.) I don't really want to buy a pair of glorified bedroom slippers that I can't wear outside...

    Summer Fedora Advice Please

    LOL! So true. Also agree with you that very few people can pull off looking good in a fedora. However these summer/straw/inexpensive hats do provide a bit more room for error fashion wise than the standard felt fedoras. It's an interesting gift, but for the already mentioned reasons, get them...

    Anyone else hate dark denim? Recommend good light denim here!

    I know I will get some flack here, but $300.00 for jeans is way too dear in my world, especially "hanging around" type jeans. But, I've also spent excessively on some things in my life, so go for it. Bob
