You could have a look at tusting.co.uk their weekender is very nice and they do free shipping and meet all taxes in the UK and US.

Hi Naancy, Not sure if you are just having a giggle here, but Pike Bros “Elephant Skin” is just a very tough cotton, so as they say no animals were harmed in the production of this fabric! D

I have a pair of 107F , you will not be disappointed with them! D

Congratulations on the new William Lennons , they make fantastic boots , they are the toughest boots I have owned, (feel as though they were hewn from rock), you are right they do take some breaking in , but will eventually mould to your foot, and they look fantastic. D

Try campbellcooper.com their black waxed belted motorcycle jacket/coat may be what you are looking for, I’ve had their waxed coats in the past and they are very good and unbelievably cheap, they are also a very reliable company although their website leaves something to be desired. D

Try Colchester rubber co, and as mentioned Palladium. D

Also forgot to mention the steerhide does seem a little thicker than their other leathers I have handled, I actually like that. D

I have a Eastman steerhide A2 which I collected from Eastman on 27-2-1992 it has exactly the same label, Eastman do offer the cuff and waistband replacement service, I’m fairly sure they would replace the lining as well, mine has been a fantastic jacket it could do with a new cuff (due to...

I agree about the William Lennon boots, without doubt the most solid boots I have ever owned, Bomb proof! D

Edward, If you scroll further down the page there are actually 2 styles of monkey boot, one doesn’t have the thick airwear type sole but a thinner leather topped sole. D

Edward, You could try the Stuffshanghai eBay shop, although they are small sizing they go up to 7xl, I’m normally an xl which equates to a 4XL in their sizing, they have a good variety of styles but the site takes a bit of trolling through as they have so many products, they are very well...

If you like Monkey boots and want some which are a few levels above Grafters in quality and comfort try Solovair. D
