    What can black or brown do for you?

    Not to hijack the thread and continue to direct it towards Color 8 Alden shoeland, but now it is time for a shoe buff workout. A good weekend to all.

    A confession

    I love leather for my jackets but when traveling on business, the road warrior life and related activities (e.g., meetings and the like) forces me to to focus on function / versatility over form. In these situations I'm better served with synthetics. Same with luggage. I'll occasionally wear a...

    What can black or brown do for you?

    Agreed. For footwear, Color 8 became my new black for all things shell cordovan.

    What can black or brown do for you?

    Shoes too. There are some nice boots out there using olive leather (e.g., Viberg’s waxed flesh service boot from last year).

    Sheeley Parachute Co G1 and BR B-10/B-15 Jacket

    I recently discovered Dave and his work. Some of the civilian style examples he has on eBay look fantastic.

    What can black or brown do for you?

    I’d wear it if it was closer to olive drab (darker).

    Lost Worlds Speed Demon

    No better way to describe that jacket one loves…except for one little nit one wishes they could change, then it would be perfect.

    Beautiful color on that one.

    Lewis Leathers 391, Opinions on fit

    It fits you well. Keep in mind too that you may experience some very slight shortening as the leather crinkles from wear. Enjoy the new jacket.

    Ebay issue

    Agreed. For overseas shipments it’s how I’ve always done it. If my POs didn’t have such long queues all the time, I’d do it more often!

    Ebay issue

    There is also no way for a seller to turn off GSP at the profile level. When a seller creates a new listing, eBay conveniently (for them) has that option selected by default - the seller has to remember to uncheck that option. For every. Single. New listing. I’ve read in the eBay forums, among...

    Ebay issue

    There are sellers who do not use the GSP ‘program’ who are happy to ship directly in a safe and secure manner. You could always check the listing to see if the shipping is via the GSP, then run the other way if that’s how it will ship.

    Ebay issue

    eBay’s GSP sucks for both buyers and sellers. I’ve been listing more lately and considered using it as a seller but unfortunate incidents like yours is one reason I will not. Especially for the jackets and shoes I’ve been listing, there’s no way I’m going to use it. Even if I’m protected as a...

    Real McCoy’s BUCO J24 NYC?

    I highly recommend S&S. Helpful and willing to answer all questions and then some. Neil. They can special order any Real McCoy’s jacket even if not listed on their site.

    What would you buy today (if money was no object)?

    It’s not money, but the struggle with the uncontrollable urge to purchase another jacket that I don’t really need. The conflict - unloading jackets to streamline the collection, yet rationalizing getting another new one that’s going to meet some new criterion that I'll soon forget about after...

    Lost Worlds Speed Demon

    That beautiful jacket is going to be even more so as the graining continues to bloom. I’ve owned many, many LW jackets and never knew that their sleeves were considered too baggy by others. Most were custom but even the ones off of LW’s ’sale’ page that I purchased in the early 2000’s all fit me...

    Opinions on goat cafe racer fit

    It looks fine to me. When you move in the jacket, do you feel restricted in motion? That’s the important question.

    Colimbo leather Stockman's Coat

    I’ve always liked the Colimbo Stockman, but one nit that would bother me if I had one is the neck. The lining goes too far up into the neck. I would prefer the liner lower with a leather-only neck.

    Podcast that explores 6 decades of menswear - G.Bruce Boyer

    I’m looking forward to it. Good men’s style themed podcasts are hard to find. It’s challenging to have one be entertaining when visuals are not an option.
