Dubbing, Mink Oil, Sno-Seal, etc: The Boot Treatment
I just received a pair of the ATF service shoe. Seems very nice and I've worn them only a couple days off and on to start breaking them in, which they have done nicely as they were very hard at first. The finish on the leather seems very sealed. So much so that it doesn't seem as though...- Rick

Hi- How are the ATF service shoes holding up? Would you think I should put some mink oil on them right away or wear them around some. Seems the paint color or whatever it is would prevent anything from soaking in. THanks, Geoff- Rick

Service shoes/boots pics?
Old Thread, but there are so many posts here that its hard to search too specifically. At least for me. Anyhow, the question... How do you take care of these boots? What's the mandatory minimum? Mink oil? Wax polish? I'd love to know what works for all of you, particularly since I just bought a...- Rick

Ask a question, get an answer
So rather than go back through 100+ pages here I can just ask... How far can you stretch a felt hat? Reasonable to go from 7 3/8 to a 7/58? ... without getting people mad at me? Thanks -
WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.
That sounds like something Juan would say over there at WWII Imp's. I haven't got around to the order yet, so I may take your advice. Money is a little hard to come by at the moment too. In regard the ATF boots; Have they really had heavy use? Ever used the water and wear method? I'm just... -

WWII Boots - Service, Jump, etc.
So what's the consensus? I have to post here because for the life of me I can't figure out how to search the Lounge with any success yet. I want the service shoe typeII. After reading around I was going to WWII Impressions. He's out of them until next SPRING! I don't want to wait. Who's... -

Show Us Your Tattoos
How much do you tip an artist? I don't know how the whole thing works. I have two small ones and kind of guessed hoping not to piss the guys off. How much $ does the house take? How much is left for the artist? How much do you tip then? And if its the owner do you still tip? That would seem...- Rick

Patches on your A-2
Water Decal anyone? I think you're right and that's what I decided on. Bet you could find anything done at least once, but I want to be generic. Found a water decal that goes on with some leather glue that looks original. Saw someone selling New Old Stock water decals claimed from WWII so...- Rick

movie hats that inspired you...
Wouldn't it be nice if they'd list the wardrobe piece by piece in the credits? Someone said if they didn't like the Indy hats they were trying on they were probably not accurate... Where is there a good Indy Hat to be had? I wear cowboy hats, and usually only when the utility of them makes... -

Opie/Cowboys and Indians
[I wonder if the gradual increase in age of first time parents has had an impact on perceived danger, thereby resulting in the lack of the kinds of play experiences so many of us in the 50 or so age group remember? Just a thought. [huh] That is fascinating. Believe it or not, I was...- Rick

No Big Man, but your son sounds like a fine man raising fine kids. I started to ramble too much and I know no-one would read if I did (too much). My intention is to do the same with my kids as far as bringing the old shows around and that'll be what they watch. Bonanza, Rifleman, Palladin...- Rick

C'mon now do something about it! There have been a few Cowboy movies out there that have been AWESOME and well within tradition. OPEN RANGE is a new classic. 3:10 TO YUMA could've been an old Clint movie. I am 32 in a few days. I have two very young boys 3 & 1.5, & one undetermined...- Rick
