    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Nice looking boots, what is the heel, traveler or their Cuban heel? Is it the standard heel height, or did you have it raised or lowered?

    Dubbing, Mink Oil, Sno-Seal, etc: The Boot Treatment

    "4spurs, you say that RW will refill your container when you run out? That might be a deal maker! Any idea what kind of cost there is to refill?" I just had them refill my bottle about two months ago, I must be losing my mind because I don't remember what I paid, it was considerably less than...

    Dubbing, Mink Oil, Sno-Seal, etc: The Boot Treatment

    Spend the $30 or whatever it costs for the RW oil that comes in a plastic tub with the screw-off top that has the applicator brush in the top. RW will refill it for you at a lower price when you run out. Heat the oil when you are going to use it by placing the tub in a pot of boiling water...

    1961MJS, Duke's hat, the one under discussion here, was a 7XCB, it was the model sold as the "Tophand" which had a 5.5" crown and a 3.5" brim, and had a raw edge. Also, his crease was a diamond with the front end of the diamond slightly longer, and a small crease, or mule kick in the front...

    Why Irish soldiers who fought Hitler hide their medals

    The part of your above post that I don't understand Rathdown is your need to insult and lecture. I have no interest in having an offline discussion with you. You are unable to take criticism or accept a different opinion without becoming bombastic and shrill; so why would I want to engage in a...

    Why Irish soldiers who fought Hitler hide their medals

    Rathdown; "What I will say is that I am Irish, and that by any lights the 173 deserters who formed the San Patricios were, frankly, the scum of the earth." Rathdown, really? I don't think so. The war with Mexico cannot be justified, it was a territorial land-grab. People who sided with...

    Why Irish soldiers who fought Hitler hide their medals

    One could hardly be considered a coward for joining a war; cowards run away from combat all together. When you write "on the part of the American people" please define just who those people are? I suspect they were the same people who hung signs in their windows stating who need not apply...

    Why Irish soldiers who fought Hitler hide their medals

    I don't mean to hijack the main topic of this thread, but I am responding to a collateral issue that came up; The San Patricios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Battalion some of whom were "deserters;" they are still honored to this day in Mexico and the southwest. Judge them...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    About heel height. I worked in the woods and really appreciated having tall heels because it meant that my feet stayed level when my heels sank into the soft ground. I felt firmer on my feet at times when I might have felt that I was leaning backwards; and that's not what you want to feel if...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Great job! Did you also take a hammer to the back side of the hooks and whack them down so that they do not chew through your patch and tongue? You could also contact RW customer office and show them what you had to do to correct their manufacturing defect; maybe they will pay more...
