Golden Goose makes a stupid expensive pair of short biker boots with a braided strap like those. Not sure if those are exactly the ones though.

Well at least it won't drive me nuts. I think I'll stick with my Schott. I can see why they altered the jacket for the show. I doubt a real motorcycle cop would be wearing a $1700 fashion jacket, but hey, you never know. Thanks for the nearly instant feedback!

These are stills from the production of True Detective season 2. If anyone has any insight into what make of jacket this is, I'd love to hear it!

Books on Panama Hat history? Hi all, I'm planning to do a research paper on the panama hat industry. It will be some what of an ethnography on the weavers and also their relationship to the industry world wide (for instance, how has higher demand in the United States and abroad affected...

The Pilbara is a pretty darn close match. Thanks everyone for the input!

Can someone ID this style of hat for me? I like this hat for its rugged looks and western flair without being an outright cowboy hat. To me it has more of a South American, Treasure of the Sierra Madre look. If anyone knows of a similar hat out there, please do not hesitate to recommend a...

¡Hostia! Looks like a blast, Huerta. Which fiesta is it? Any time you mix podencos and trabucos is sure to be a good time!

Zombie post! I have a G1 flying tiger from the older days when it was actual shearling and marked with a 38, etc. size. They must run very big because mine is marked 38 and I'm 6' 4" 190 and it fits me like it was tailor made for me. Nice hefty talon zipper and very warm liner and collar...

I just realized that Schott currently only makes one D-pocket jacket. I was thinking for some reason the 618 was a D but definitely is not.

I posted a while ago about looking for an understated d-pocket jacket and several people referred me to the AL Detroit jacket, which is superb. I decided, though, that the Schott Perfecto is at heart what I'm really looking for and the blingier details I want to avoid would be easy to change...

I looked in a Jack and Jones store today at the mall here in Logroño. A shirt was listed at 29.95€ and 30£ (they had put the price for every country they sell to on the tag). Just crazy. So yes just more proof that slimy companies will in fact carry the number over. If only Aero did that...

Ok so now that the banter has died down a bit, my original question still stands about whether or not the prices on the site are converted (either to Euros or USD for the EU and United States respectively) or if the number remains the same from currency to currency (i.e. 675£ to 675€ or $675)...

I figured as much. I was watching the Searchers with John Wayne and he throws around $5 "yankee dollar" coins like nothing which, again, struck me as odd but as you all said, that's just hollywood. Thanks RBH for the price chart. Very interesting. Assuming by "blanket" they mean a wool...

I was cruising the bay recently to see if there were any crazy deals on a vintage d-pocket and I came across one that was billed as a Cooper jacket from a line called "Unity." I've never heard of it but people seem to like Cooper A-2s on here so I figured they might be an ok brand. Has anyone...

I really enjoy a good western, spaghetti or Hollywood, and because many of them deal with bounties and the like, money comes up (i.e. the price on someone's head). To me the figures always seem impossibly high for the time period, and I'm not just talking about bounties (which could be...
