    heavy canvas pants

    I am also looking for a pair of canvas pants, but my requests are a little more narrow. I would need them in button fly and straight leg. Guess I'm outta luck, though (aside from having them made, which doesn't look to be in my price range). [huh]

    What Are You Reading

    Currently reading Shahnameh (The Book of Kings). Brain-eating serpents sprouting out of shoulders? These crazy Persians have me hooked.

    Spiking Up the Collar on an A-2 jacket

    You may try, but to say that you do not, never have, nor ever will is just a complete error. It's human nature, and anything else is an aberration. I would be twice as leery of those who do not judge others. It's freakish and inhuman. Edit: but, I digress. This is just a tangent that is...

    Spiking Up the Collar on an A-2 jacket

    Everyone makes judgments. It's human nature. Letting them bother you is another thing entirely, but you can't deny that we all judge based on appearances. Anything else is either hypocrisy or a blatant lie.

    Who was the ODDest person you ever knew?...

    I once knew a man named Johnny Columbo. He'd come into the store I was working at every day and buy a paper and a pack of Beeman's gum. I only knew his name by his credit card. He had scars all over his face and just a really intimidating look. One day, I got off early and saw him standing...

    Spiking Up the Collar on an A-2 jacket

    The same message that's conveyed by wearing your Ray Ban Wayfarers when walking around at night or in a dimly lit room. "I'm just too cool. Do you know how cool I am? Too cool." And rarely does it ever work. Unless you're John Bender. Edit: along with people who wear wool coats in the middle...

    Poll: Button or snaps on your suspenders?

    Am I the only one to use hooks in my double hole belt? It just seems more manly to me (sorry, no pictures, at the moment, but it's pretty descriptive). Edit: but, if I was going dress (which is pretty rare in my roughout lifestyle) then I'd pick buttons.

    Need some help finding boots

    I agree with this. I really wanted the Red Wing Iron Rangers and almost settled many times on one of Red Wing's cheaper boots (without a cap toe), but I'm really happy that I got the boots I wanted. I'd wait, personally. I was wearing Doc Martens that were literally falling apart on my feet...

    Sweet Georgia Brown: Red Vs. Blue ?

    Does it harden? I heard that was a problem with Layrite; that it hardened and developed a "skin" like a hair gel.

    Sweet Georgia Brown: Red Vs. Blue ?

    I would assume in the tin.

    Sweet Georgia Brown: Red Vs. Blue ?

    Hrm, well, cost is a big issue for me. Being the Recessionista that I am, I don't want thin my hair OR my budget. If the scent is nice I'll try doing my same hairstyle with the SGB purple, even though it's over twice as much as the Murray's I was using. I suppose it'll even out, though, since I...

    Sweet Georgia Brown: Red Vs. Blue ?

    I've had that same problem. I disliked it so much that I've switched hair styles to an older look with a combination of Brylcreem and Groom N Clean used together. However, I miss the hell out of my pomp, but I can't afford to replace anymore pillow cases. Does SGB make a water soluble? I want...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Sorry, I would've taken pictures of the sole, but I'd forgotten, and they're now on my feet. They're wearing very nicely, I think.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    That is entirely what I meant, and I just simply slipped on the keys. I normally wear a size 13, but bought the 12, which fit perfectly. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots I've had my Red Wing 8111 Iron Rangers for a week, now, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on them. The deep cognac/cherry color looks absolutely fantastic, and penetrates deep into the leather. Normally, salt burns occur practically out of the store in this Michigan...
