    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    They were shipped from Brooks Brothers. My guess is there was a mix up at Red Wing and nobody at Brooks Brothers ever looked in the box.

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    So it got a little strange. Turns out I should have looked at the tongue. The pair I received was the J Crew exclusive 4511 (interesting how those shipped out from Brooks Brothers). They are shipped a correct pair to me tomorrow so I guess that's solved that mystery.

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    Joel, Thanks for your help! I'm actually kinda pleased I received the other sole as it's a nice balance between the two extremes normally found on the IRs. I've only worn them for an hour or two so we will see what happens with the leather. I plan on keeping them but I did email Brooks...

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    So I ordered a pair of Red Wings from the Brooks Brothers site (I really wanted the treaded version) and they just showed up. What I received, however, isn't quite what is shown on the site. The boots that showed up have the Beckman sole, have three speed laces, and have a perfectly even...

    Tucking in...is it an age thing?

    Am I the only person that hates OCBDs? Regardless, I usually tuck in my dress shirts and I wear jeans 90% of the time. Although, for someone my age, it is context dependent.

    confused about different wool trousers =\

    It depends on what you want... Gabardine have a bit of a sheen to them and may have seemed like "suit trousers". Flannel is, well, like flannel (usually heavier and has a "looser" feel (for lack of a better word). Twill has a diagonal weave in it (more pronounced than the others.

    Target tee shirts

    I buy one or two packs of hanes t-shirts from Target every year or so to wear when I work around the house or work on cars. I can say after abusing them a lot, they hold up very well (don't turn yellow or become transparent). ...and they don't bacon

    Blue Smoking Jacket?

    Just out of curiousity, under what circumstances would one wear a dinner jacket or a smoking jacket? I've never seen a social situation that would ever call for one. When dining and smoking.

    Non-see-through white shirts

    Buy Oxford cloth shirts (they aren't all Button down collars) and have them fitted. I have some from Ralph Lauren that have a nice spread collar.

    This interior is amazing

    I think this interior is interesting. I really like how there is very little red, other than the carpeting; it's just enough to make it cohesive but doesn't overdo it.

    What I have been up to since I disappeared

    Nice, that's pretty sharp looking. Much better quality picture. Thats easily much nicer then the OE. Thank you. Part of the problem is that I usually have to rely on other people to take pictures of items after they have been installed.

    What I have been up to since I disappeared

    SG, I completely understand what you are saying. Here is an example of some work I did that (I think) shows what you are referring to: This is the stock boot after a short shifter was installed I was able to remake the pattern and style of the original boot (adjusting it for the shifter) and...

    What I have been up to since I disappeared

    You need better photos in your gallery. If those pics are representative of your work, I would never hire you. I know. I have a few better photos, I just need to upload them. I've been focusing on the accessories lately. Also, this is my first attempt at designing a website so everything isn't...

    What I have been up to since I disappeared

    It has been a while since I've been on Styleforum so I thought I would share what has been going on... I'm no longer apprenticing with Chris (Despos) as I decided to move on. In early Spring of this year I started my own business doing custom work. Although it isn't clothing related, I still...

    James...in order for Mr. Despos to apprentice for an online tailor...he needs to be online for a better part of the day Besides, doesn't he have employees to who he delegates a few tasks to? Besides, here he also frequents the London Lounge....to add to your dismay He does have employees to...

    Driving your dream car?

    That's a picture of an R34 GT-R Nür Spec. 1996 would be an R33, which looks like this in GT-R form: What year was the R34? For some reason I thought it was '96.
