Thank you. After getting a call back from kyle at Bakers, i ordered the brown chrome excel throguh Bakers Kyle said some of the same things stated above. He was moremthan helpful, spending about 15 minutes on the phone with me telling me about all of the details...he offered plenty of advice...

Hi, I am wondering if anyone could describe the differences between White's Boots leathers: their semi-dress brown, and their Chrome excel. I actually called Whites directly for some information, and the first words in the response were, "well.....not really...". And after searching...

I used to lifeguard on the ocean (back in the mid-'90's). And now I coach swimming -- both of which require staring towards, at or through the surface of water. Between the 40 guards on staff, we tried just about every brand of sunglasses imaginable. We could not see to do our job without...

@Henrythe8th: No deal!!! I LOVE my jacket now! I love it more and more each time I wear it. It was 100 degrees out today, but I still brought it with me to the theater as it is freezing in there. The leather has changed dramatically and there is no flakiness as in the pics above. I have...

Unlucky (Scott Willis) made me this briefcase. He was fantastic to work with. I think we exchanged about 25 emails back and forth on the design. The bag is Wicket and Craig veg-tanned cowhide (5/6 oz). The interior pockets are front quarter horse. The straps are veg-tanned horse-butt. The...

Razor: Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Blades: Feathers Pre-shave: Proraso (with or without Menthol...love them both) Soap: Tabac but I rotate with Mitchell's Wool Fat Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn Post-shave: Proraso Liquid Cream (this stuff if my favorite item on my counter-top...truly leaves my face...

Hey Welcome to the forum! I went through the same thing a little over a year ago. Here is a link to my jacket, and Sierra's jacket, both in Vintage FQHH. I love the vintage FQHH. I have had sample sent to me, and I would think that if you ask Amanda real nice, she'll send you samples of both...

This thread lead me to look into Unlucky's leather a little more. I just put an order in with Scott "Unlucky" Willis for a belt and a bag. He has been friendly and easy to deal with thus far in our email exchanges as he has informed me of the options. I'm really looking forward to seeing his...

So I bought a pair of these Lucchese's for the Lady in my life. Lucchese 1883 Women's Chocolate Burnished Mad Dog Western Boots Lucchese's site (same boot) I actually have not seen them yet as it was an on-line purchase. I made sure there was an adequate return policy in case they do not...

So I sliced my Red Wing (Iron Rangers) the other day on a door that swung open faster than expected. The tear did not go all the way through the boot leather, but enough to expose some of the lighter leather under the outer coat. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or experience. I've...

yes it did. But after Hoosier Daddy's post, I am curious to try Aero's conditioner, which I was unaware of before now. But I would love to see more close ups of other's FQHH jackets to compare my leather with. Mine is about 6 months old now. And I have no other experience with this leather.

I had a similar concern with my first jacket, the Aero '30s Half-Belt. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?47619-Aero-Half-Belt-Dry-Leather-or-not&highlight=swimcap Some parts of my jacket have a more waxy look. While other parts seem more flaky and dry. I went over it with...

Brown - what convinced me was the photo's of Sierra's jacket...here's a link to both his and my jacket...same style. LOVE the brown!! "'30's Half Belt"

Me in my jacket...and if anyone can help me to resize these a little, I would be grateful. So frustrating. Thanks.

Sierra, you're my hero. Love your jackets. Thanks for posting these.
