    I broke down and bought myself another hat

    I'm generally a loyalist because I don't really wear different hats all the time, I have 3 hats and this eddy bros cougar model is my outdoors hat for late fall & winter. I bought the hat dirt cheap a few years ago for a Halloween costume and liked it so I decided I'd do a little customizing...

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    I want to sew a name patch onto the new work jacket I ordered, but I'd like to do so without sewing through the lining. The problem is that my sewing skills are completely limited to saddle stitching leather, so that means no seam ripping and re-sewing...etc I need to figure out a way I can do...

    It's about time for a vest thread

    Feel free to post all of your vests here. I love wearing vests, they're practical for many reasons, and they're generally pretty affordable. I just got this vintage deerskin trading post vest on Tuesday and it's quickly becoming a favorite. There's a timeless appeal to vests and they're...

    Let's see you're most beat up and abused and still used jacket

    The title says it all. My uncle gave me this USN utility jacket when I was 12, I've worn the heck out of it and today it's my go-to work jacket for a large part of the year. I don't know how old it is exactly because the label is unreadable, but It's gotta be 80's era. It's covered in...

    A very cool 1920's adventure

    Hopefully this video will be okay to post here, I thought some of you would enjoy it. I asked him about the awesome wool hunting coat he was wearing , and he said his Wife actually made it for him based on an old Norfolk. I don't think this is a pattern that would normally have been found in...

    Jim Green Vellies

    I finally bit the bullet on a pair of Jim Green Vellie " Chukka " boots in Khaki rough out. Everything I hear about the company made me want to show them a little support, but I was a little hesitant because I've been worried about fit. I mostly wanted them as a summer beater and workshop...

    Looking for opinions and recommendations regarding a potential jacket modification

    It's no secret that I really love this pioneer wear jacket and it has become one of my absolute favorites just because I think it's so cool. With that being said I know the sleeves are a little long, and it has been suggested that cuff adjustment / closure could be a good solution for this and...

    I'm looking for a pair of boots

    About a year and a half ago I discovered my dream boots, the W.C Russell plantation series birdshooters. As an everyday general purpose boot they'd be perfect and they just look so damm cool. They were more than I'd really want to spend on a pair of boots but I figured I'd eventually make it...

    Ever wanted to make yourself a pair of sneakers ?

    Apparently you can, and he really does make it look easy with his printable template. theres a tool or two I'd need to make this easier, but otherwise I think I could do it if I wanted to. just a cross stitch at the heel, and a basic saddle stitch around the rest of it. I'm not sure I'd ever...

    Would you consider this a good fit ?

    I've had this vintage Pioneer wear suede trucker a couple months now, and I wear it every chance the weather permits. Of course I have also posted it quite a bit too, hopefully not too much. I am generally happy with the fit, I don't think it looks too big ( not that I'm experienced enough to...

    Does anybody here add personal touches for their leather jackets?

    I like adding personal touches to all my jackets, especially adding a pin or two to my wool and denim. Leather I'll add a zipper pull of some kind, but pins are a different story. Normally I wouldn't, but from the day I got the jacket I've been thinking this pin would be perfect for it. I was...

    Giving legendary whitetails a try

    Recently I decided I wanted to start upgrading to some better flannel shirts, I mostly wanted something that was made to tuck in and didn't want to spend a fortune. Being a brand I had heard of I decided to browse their site and luckily they were having a black Friday sale. I ordered this...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    I'm looking to buy a snap on mouton type collar from most likely an old police jacket that I can modify to fit on my jacket. The collar on my size 36 jacket jacket is 16" for what that's worth, I don't know how the collar sizing works. If anybody has a collar laying around off an old police...

    Snap on fur collars ?

    I would love to add a snap on fur collar ( faux or real, I don't care ) to my 1990 Taylor's Chicago PD surplus jacket. I know I can modify one to attach to my jacket, but I have no clue where to get one that's not $100+ or even how to know what size collar attachment I need to be looking for. If...
