Personally I’d be annoyed if any of my mechanical watches, vintage or modern, lost 2 minutes in a week.

I wore Clark’s for years, the last pair I bought had the crepe soles, they were junk. The soles were only glued on. There was a stitch line around the sole but it was just for show, didn’t actually have any structural purpose. I returned them when the sole separated, the shoe store said it was...

All SOLD, thanks WillyW!

Absolutely, I’ll message you with my cell.

These are still available, price drop, $60.00 each.

Great read on the history of Biltmore. I met Eric Lynes during his time as owner, he happened to be on site when I stopped in at the factory outlet. Really nice guy, we chatted hat for a while. Unfortunately the plant was closed a few years ago when the company was acquired by Dorfman Pacific. B

Very nice, would be interesting to see it next to my original size 48 Poughkeepsie! B

Wouldn't waste money on an Alpha or a Cockpit, but i’m Luck enough to know a surplus shop that often has unissued real ones, with liners for around $50-60. I wear a large, I’m 5’ 10”, around 200 lbs, and have no problem finding my size. B

Shoe trees, in boots? Never, the creases and folds are part of their lives and ours. These things are meant to be worn through all of your adventures, not to be babied and pampered!

We finally had some sun so I grabbed a quick shot of the CW engineers in bright light. Don’t mind the dirty truck, it’s since been cleaned. B

Hi Regius, I would say the leather used by CW is mid weight. It is solid, not at all flappy/floppy, but not so stiff as to be uncomfortable. They take very little to break in. The sizing is a bit large. I typically wear a 9 or 9.5 in most boots, these are 8.5. I’ll post up a pic or two shortly...

Hey Regius, Here’s a link to the CW engineers in brown that I have, also,available in black. https://www.canadawestboots.com/5085 If you're looking for CXL leather, and stacked heels, these won’t do it for you. They are good solid leather boots, Goodyear welt construction, slip resistant...

They’re all out of my price range, sticking with my Canada West engineers. B

My old red Aero D1 still has a bit of shine to it. The outer coating cracks and can flake of in spots, just like pictures you see of originals. I have no idea hold old this one is, I've had it for probably 5 or 6 years and got it on a trade. Definitely doesn't seem to darken naturally. Just wear...

I usually avoid any seller that uses this "feature". It guarantees long delivery times, usually double what it would normally take, and you get dinged for the maximum amount of tax and import duty. In most cases regular mail slips through without most of the charges. B
