    Import Duties....... What the Hell?

    I have never had to pay any kind of import duties for any purchase I've ever made from over seas. I live in Florida and the purchase I'm referring to came from the UK. I recently bought a pair of Loake Bedale and a Valet Box from Herring. The items came in a timely manner and they were just...

    Pegasus D-Pocket "S"

    I recently bought this from the bargain page of the Pegasus jacket website. It is made with their Dark Antique Brown FQHH and has a red/green plaid cotton lining. Initially I was nervous because it was quite a bit more snug than I usually like a jacket to fit - especially in the shoulders and...

    The ELC B-3 is here just in time for May Day....May Day!

    I feel like a very lucky guy. I've coveted a nice B-3 for 20+ years and I finally have one. Not only that, but I landed a new condition Eastman B-3 on Ebay for several hundred dollars less than I could have gotten it with tags. Honestly, it weighs less than I expected, but it fits better than I...

    Alexander Leathers Spiegel

    I picked up a size 42 Spiegel in Vintage Brown Steer. Amanda's customer service was very impressive and the shipping was unbelievably fast. I'll get pictures soon, but from what I can see, they'll be getting more business from me. It was a sale item, so it is a stock 42. The leather almost feels...

    Raw Selvedge Bleeding

    I bought a pair of raw selvedge, sanforized 21 oz. jeans. I soaked them in cold water overnight. I hung them up to dry for the whole next day. Today I wore them for the first time. When I took them off, I had a decent amount of dye on my legs. Not a ton. For those of you in the know: How long...

    Breaking in Selvedge Denim - 14 oz. vs 21 oz.

    Well, as I'm about to buy a really decent pair of jeans, is there any advice as per weight/break in period? The best pair of denim I currently have....PLEASE NO LAUGHS ....is a pair of Levi's Selvedge Calder. They are the stiffest/heaviest feeling denim I have ever purchased and they happen to...

    Another Denim Question....

    As someone who is still learning, I have what may be a stupid question for you about denim jackets. Some of you have stated that it's a good idea to get a new pair of jeans wet, and then wear them until they dry. That way, they will conform to your body shape. QUESTION: Is this also a good idea...

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    I recently received my Dustbowl - Size 42. It's Brown FQHH with a MacKenzie Weathered Tartan Liner. I added a chest zip pocket and had the sleeves shortened a bit. Nothing too extreme, by any means. I would recommend Insurrection for the whole buying experience and Wade and Carrie are...

    B-3 vs. D-1: Which One Is The Best?

    Hello everyone. I have been wanting a B-3 for some time now and recently have been turned on to getting a D-1. Although I feel the look of the B-3 is far more appealing, I wonder if the lighter feel of the D-1 would be a more realistic jacket for regular use. Any owners with input?

    Aero Tartan Lining Advice

    I finally ordered an Aero 30s Half Belt and I did it through Thurston Bros. The wait will be much, much less. Anyway, I am going to use a tartan from Lochcarron and since they have Light, Medium, and Heavy, I was wondering which thickness would be appropriate for such a slim fitting jacket. I'm...

    I'm thinking of buying a Lost Worlds Ryder or Suburban in Russet. However, I have a problem. I've seen many photos of their Russet Horsehide, but the colors are drastically different.
