    New G2 raiders from San Diego Leather

    The price was right so I got nervous but brought one in to see...Since they did not have my size in brown them made one up and took the two inches off of the sleeves as I asked. The pics are far from great but the jacket is very nice. They will alter sleeve length for a modest price anyway. I...

    A last (I think) barbour question

    What is the difference of the regular waxed material on the beaufort original and the Sylkoil on the classic? I was told the classic gets one less finishing step, does not carry the sheen but is as weather resistant as the original...also, I find it funny on the barbour web page they say the...

I have one...

    Why not new off the shelf?

    I read a line in a post that said buying a new hat today is a waste of money, that one should either buy vintage or custom. I have been buying and wearing hats for the past 20+ years, started with a Dobbs, have some CT. Crushers and Baileys and just got a Borsalino cap....I like nice things but...
