Found a cruzer a while back... But a naval peacoat will do...

Lastly... Grail achieved... Pretty sure NWOT Belstaff Wilson Quilted Jacket

Edit: Oh yea.... Forgot this Canada Goose too...

Its good stuff its what i use but i would recommend a cleaning or stripping first as its works best if it's the base layer polish and not sitting on top it won't do anything if it can't get passed the old layers of wax and pigments. It's easy to maintain them after that I just wipe them with it after EVERY use before getting trees and put back in the bag. Keeping them in bags helps alot too.

Even though Detroit has a bad reputation from a general economic perspective, I have had success there. Just search the chain locations near where you are staying or around the wealthier areas. North of the city, the Pointes, Ann Arbor, etc.

Are Gitman Bros shirts instant cop? I've seen a few but they did not look anything special to me

 

[dukedishin]

@Spruce Moose Gitman Bros Vintage is. Needs to have that extra label.

And @TheODGuy jaw-dropping haul. Especially the Belstaff. If it's a 40....

Please tell me that you didn't wear a pair of Nike high tops with the bow tie.
