    Need a Good Shoe Cobbler in the USA

    I have some shoes that need new soles and heels on them. All of the good shoe repair shops around here closed long ago. I had a bad experience with a mall-type show repair shop years ago and would like to find a very good one. I'm in the metro Atlanta, GA area, but I don't mind shipping out...

    Wanting to Darken Some Leather Boots. Obenauf's?

    I would like to darken a pair of brown leather boots. Will Obenauf's darken the leather? If so, will it darken much? I don't believe Pecard's will darken, right? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Opinion on Motorcycle Jacket Padding?

    I rarely see padding on most of the motorcycle jackets pictured here. I'm referring to the quilted type padding on shoulders and elbows. I was kinda toying with getting a Vanson Colorado, but am now thinking about just getting the Vanson CHP. I don't currently have a motorcyle, so my...

    Legendary USA Leather Jackets

    Does anyone know who makes the Legendary USA "Legendary" leather motorcycle jackets? They sell Schott jackets, are the Legendary jackets also made by Schott? Some of them are less expensive, but are made of about 3.5 oz. weight leather. Are they lower quality than a Schott? Thanks.

    What Happened to Florsheim?

    I remember seeing Florsheim stores years ago, but never see those shoes any more. I see references to "old" Florsheims here and have seen them sold online, but don't see folks talking about current models. Are they not what they used to be? Are they made in China, now? Thanks.

    Langlitz Leather Dressing

    Have any of you used Langlitz's leather dressing? I believe it may have petroleum-based products in it, so I'm not sure how good that is for leather? Thanks for any feedback.

    Anyone Else Tried the Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Boot?

    I just tried on a pair and they seem narrow. I wear an 11 D and tried on a 10.5 D, with thick socks. They were too long, but tight around the sides. I think I would need a 10 D, but think they may be too narrow, even with regular socks. Anyone else find them a bit narrow? Thanks.

    Very Warm Insulated Gloves

    Can anyone give some advice on very warm, waterproof, insulated gloves? I bought some thick Carhart gloves that have been disappointing. This is for weather in the 5-40F degrees range. Thanks!

    Aero Highwayman or Half Belt?

    Thinking about ordering one in brown, probably FQHH. (Also considering heavy steerhide.) It seems from pictures that they are both the same length, with the Highwayman having side cinches at the bottom and the Half Belt having them at the middle? I would like it to be longer than belt...

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    I've had a hard time finding good Polo type shirts. In the early 80s, I had some Izod/Lacoste shirts that were great. They were a heavy cotton, with a bit of a coarse, solid weave. I can't find anything quite like that now. For years, I've bought Chaps, Izod (which is no longer part of...

    What Kind of Jacket in the Original 1951 "The Thing"?

    Does anyone know what kind of jacket Kenneth Tobey is wearing in the original "The Thing" film, from 1951? It looks similar to an A-2. Is it just a typical A-2, with some kind of emblem on the left chest? (They never seem to fit that well on me, for some reason...) Thanks.
