    The Return of Vintage DI S E A S E S

    Ah, the Boys from Marketing pop in to put a quick spin on things. Good to see you, Boys. ;)

    The Return of Vintage DI S E A S E S

    Yep, particularly when it is a pricy custom job bought online from a FLounge approved/promoted hatter. Be even slightly critical of the hat or the inherently faulty process by which it was acquired and you are shouted down by a few vociferous hatters and their fanboys for being a troll.

    Yep, and it's alive and thriving right here on the FLounge, particularly in Hats.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    And Volvo drivers were/are among the worst drivers on the road. I guess they figure they're bulletproof. Same with the SUV drivers. For the most part, driving safety is about the driver's skills (concentration, anticipation, reaction, etc) not the vehicle being driven.

    What's Bogey Wearing?

    Looks like one of those made by the unknown maker. They make pretty much all the hats you seen worn in photos.;)

    Production leaving OZ doesn't bother you with Blundstone? See, that would bug me. I've dropped quite a few American brands when took production offshore.

    Leather Quality and Properties

    I think get what you're saying. Something along the lines of authentic versus fanciefied repro. I see it for the jackets but that wouldn't really apply to the boots would it? I mean, they're both heritage brands, one being a work boot and the other a riding boot.

    You should hear what Lobb devotees say about Cleverley shoes.

    Your condition is called Phengophobia and it is treatable. ;)
