    I like to wear jeans and boots on casual Friday and weekends. My problem however is in deciding if a jacket is suitable to wear. My jeans are Levi's 517 Rinse color, and boots are Red Wing Beckman Cigar color. I wear white OCBD shirts and a Carbon Grey Akubra Fed IV fedora. Any suggestions...

    Chippewa 20065 Classic Boot

    I wear 9D for all my dress shoes. My 8.5D Red Wing GT's fit great with my athletic socks and tight with the really thick socks. I want to get the Chocolate Apache but not sure which size would work for me.

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    Can someone comment on how these compare to Wolv 1k? The price point seems solid but, how does quality and longevity compare?

    LL Bean Katahdin Boots - good choice for winter?

    I want to bump up this thread. I watched a video of the Chippewa production factory and see lots of glue being used. The GY welt almost looks like an aesthetic feature. Im deciding between the plain toe bean or the 1k. Can anyone comment on how they compare?

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

     I LOVE SBL! The Chestnut is my favorite color and unfortunately hard to get matching shoes for. After Mr. M posted those pic, I think RW Black Cherry and 1K cordovan would be my best choice.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    So shoe polish and cream arent necessary? Im assuming snoseal needs applying before first use and reapplication over time? Would these products be used for both boots, considering the RW is featherstone vs chromexcel in the 1k

    I've decided that my two boot purchases will be the Black Cherry Red Wing Beckman and Brown Wolverine 1k I've always been a dress shoe wearer (allen edmonds strand, RL Darlton wingtips, etc...) and wear them when I'm dressed in business casual when I teach or when I'm out and need to look...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Ok I cant decide btw the rust,brown,and cordovan? I plan on getting a pair of these and a pair of Red Wing GTs in either cigar or blk cherry. I avoid earth tone clothing and wear dark indigo jeans. I wear a saddleback leather chestnut belt (actually all my access/bags are chestnut)

    Sources for Navy Rain Coat

    I'm looking to replace my khaki SB Burberry coat for a SB 3/4 length navy coat. Being 5'8" My build and color seems better suited for a darker and shorter coat, and I'd like to avoid black. I've been checking eBay but there isn't much in terms of 3/4 length. There aren't many Navy offerings...

    Fall and Winter coat options

     Thanks for the response The coat only comes in fawn, navy, and charcoal. The charcoal isn't as dark as imagined, I would almost call it medium grey. The navy however is VERY nice. For my winter skin town it would likely be charcoal or navy, though at this point I'd prefer navy. Are you...

    Business Card Cases

    I normally carry my cards in my left bottom jacket pocket, but I've heard that the mere presentation of a card case adds to the delivery of a card. My manager has a metal case that he keeps in his jacket. So I'm in the market for a case, but I'm not sure if I want metal or leather. What do you...

    Disappointment with my Baroni

    So, what you really mean is you're disappointed in your own laziness....right? I'm upset at myself for not paying attention but also for relying on provided information. Should I take the jacket apart to make sure it's REALLY fully canvased? No but thats what I'm told. Lengthwise, it only...
