    Nicks boots 60th anniversary sale

    I recently got into PNW boots, Nicks and Frank's. They're my favorite boots by far, for comfort, durability, protection, and secure footing. They're expensive, but worth it, and they put all others to shame.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    Wow, homerun. You really nailed it this time. It looks like it was made for you (lol, of course it does -- it was!) the contrasting panels do make quite a statement. I wonder how they will develop with age?

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    It's understandable that you'd be upset by a place claiming to be official, but not actually being who they represented themselves to be. But that does NOT mean that this guy is really Red Tornado, any more than the guy in your spam folder is really the prince of Nigeria. Companies have to...

    [Scammer Alert] "Red Tornado" outerwear on Ali Express

    I've had good experiences with Red Tornado products. Good quality, matching the description/photos, good value for the price.. I buy from DearyLeZing Store on Aliexpress, and have never had a problem. A lot of the sellers on Ali are guilty of misrepresenting their product, and not keeping...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion

    I'm glad you like it. The pre-sales shenanigans turned a lot of people here off, myself included. But if you have it, you paid for it, and you're happy with it, enjoy it and don't worry about what people think.

    Does anyone here have the Red Tornado RGT supply jacket clone?

    I have some of their shirts and pants, and their measurement charts are pretty accurate. They are pretty good quality as well, for the items I've bought from them. XXL Seems to correspond to a 42 top, so I think 3 XL would be a 44 and XL would be a 40.

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    It sounds like if this can be done it's well beyond your skill level.

    CLX Steerhide vs CLX FQHH - Jacket measurements

    My experience is similar, but I would say that steer breaks in quicker than HH. I have no opinion on which one is "stronger". There's various ways define that, but both are plenty strong and are enough for me. HH has something more of a mystique because it's comparatively rare to see it used in...

    Long Halfbelt by Aero Super Heavy Just arrived Off the Bay

    I thought about this one. Glad you got it. Looks good. And I believe the price was more than fair.

    Looking for Moto Style brown leather jacket recommendations

    Of the three, I'd go with Aero. The Sheene is a great jacket, the build quality and materials exceed Schott, and the price beats Field. Consider the August collar as an alternative to the Highwayman collar. For leather, you have a lot of great options, from CXL to Badalassi. Kelpie, Jerky...

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    As it wears in it will become less noticeable. The other grain will emerge through the top coat and it will blend in. You'll see it because you know it's there, but anyone else will just see the jacket.
