    Caring for your Chippewa boots without darkening them

    I typically just use Venetian Cream on my boots. A good brushing and some Venetian cream goes a long way in keeping the boots clean and conditioned.

    The Super Heavy-Weight Denim Thread! (21oz and up)

    Do you have measurements for those lees? I have a lot of trouble finding raws with 13" thighs at a 33" waist. I squeeze into some N&F elephant 2's currently, but when 22oz jeans are tight, you just loose all range of motion.

    I just got my corter leather belt a week or so ago, and I couldnt be happier. I also have a tanner belt, a filson belt, and a handmade belt from a local leather worker for casual wear.

    The WAYWT Discussion Thread

    I feel like the shorts are a bit long, and pretty wrinkly, and the jacket is much too long. I think some brown camp mocs would look good here.

    Official Filson Thread - Clothing/Bags Etc

    You can treat wool very effectively to be waterproof/water resistant. Some of them require a wash in, but many are just a topical oil treatment. A dense weave like the filson bag will be very tough but also very water resistant on its own, just make sure to dry it out of it gets wet.

    Should there be any breaks when wearing straight leg or slim-fitted jeans

    I've found that for jeans specifically, unless you've rolled your pant leg or are wearing ball-buster skinny jeans, having some breaks is expected and not having any looks unnatural, and the pants are probably too short.

    Travel/Casual all-weather boot

    redwing makes a chukka style boot for around $250, but they go on sale for 200 all the time. A bit more rugged and maybe not as business appropriate, but still great looking boots.

    Thoughts on this barn jacket in 'stone'?

    I am looking for a light jacket for spring, cool summer nights, and early fall and was wondering what you guys think of this jacket. http://i.imgur.com/NRg6SOD.jpg?1 I was thinking of wearing this with a flannel, OCBD, or chambray with jeans and redwings. What do you think of the color?
