I'm pretty sure they're legit, they're just not from the same line the classic styles, ie 1460, are from. They're probably a little newer than the 90s as well.

Your two best options for quality, price, and availability are going to probably be Sterlingwear(Navy contractor), and Schott. They both make an issue pattern pea coat out of a variety of wool and lining options. Schott errs more towards fashion, so I find their coats to have more of a...

So, mini review, I very briefly(about 3 days) owned one of their Hartmann jackets. They're alright. The leather wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. Most of it was assembled aligned and spaced correctly, but some things were off. I seem to remember it having a very light poly-fill in it, which I...

I think it's an East-West Musical Instruments jacket. That vertical tag looks just like theirs. Plus it also has their funky 60s/70s vibe to it.

I've found crepe to be reasonably durable. Some brands less than others, but my Clarks seem to last a pretty good while, at least with their chunkier soled models.

Did she dig the hippie style of this one? I've got a legit East-West Musical Instruments jacket that I'm guessing is roughly a women's small.

Red Wing makes a nice looking uniform shoe, the 101 Postman Oxford. Your foot is similar to mine, so there might be a width issue with those, but I've always thought they were very sharp.

I think it fits spot on, and actually looks good for the type.

eBay has a vested interest in caring as the copyright holder could prove damages, however random people complaining only goes so far. These people are using edited images from Thurston Bros, and they would need to make the claims as copyright holder to really get action taken. I've had sellers...

There's a lot of really bulky insoles on the market that are great in modern shoes with removable insoles already in them, allowing easy swapping in and out of. Unless you size up width/length I've never found them to fit right into classic footwear. Spenco has some flat insoles that are well...

Thanks man! Red Wing 9016 Beckman. Or just a day trip to New York.

Back to the Roadster for a couple of days.

I've bought a lot of dumb stuff over the years; It might be cool in the store, but its got to be right at home. I've sold pretty much everyone of my elephants. Some were probably fixable with alterations, but that's always a gamble to get done. Some of them do grow on you though. My...

Rainy today. Hooded cotton coat from j.crew that I waxed myself.

That's a really great fit on that.
