    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    I'm looking at the Hastings boot, although I'm wondering if they'd be willing to do it as a custom option (it looks like bison isn't an option in the custom lineup, although it seems people have had custom bison boots made by Rancourt before) - I'd prefer a lined boot and silver, rather than...

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    Penfield Kasson parka - sizing

    I'm looking to buy a Penfield Kasson jacket and am trying to work out what size to buy. It will be either small or XS - but which one? I'm 177cm (5'10") tall and have a 38-inch chest. Does anyone have an accurate pit-to-pit measurement for either the S or XS? I've seen everything from 19.5"...

    The Official Leather Artisans Appreciation Thread

    Anyone ordered or heard anything from him lately? Or am I a bit late to the game... seems like Corter also no longer does custom-made.
