  1. Anyone heard anything on the release of the new duck chinos? This time around is there going to be one in a traditional duck canvas color? I've been holding out for something like that for a while now....

  2. im 5'11 ~130, think a medium would be too big?

    Measure your chest, thats really the only way I've been able to figure it out. These look like they run about 1 size smaller then your run of the mill small, medium, large, etc... albeit we only have one fit picture.

    I can tell you from experience with a heavier shirt like this you wouldnt want it to be too tight, or its going to be uncomfortable as hell.

  3. Im going with a large (5'11, 160lbs), these look like they are running pretty small. I dont think I could get a medium over my shoulders. I compared the size chart to my other shirts. These look like they run smaller then the NF slim shirt if anyone needs a general comparison.

  4. Im thinking about picking up one of the work shirts, but I'm having trouble on the sizing. I wear a medium in the NF shirts, with the slim shirt being pretty slim on me. The only measurement I really know of myself is my suit which is a 40. I was thinking a medium in the work shirts, but that seems like it may be too slim. Should I go with a large?

  5. Is it possible for a cobbler to take off a lug sole and lay down a leather sole? I have this pair of TBC boots that I picked up at a thrift store brand new that I never wear because of the massive lug sole. The lug is sitting on top of stacked leather so I thought it could be taken off and maybe and replaced with like a leather sole or something a little flatter.

    Digging those Whites

  6. So I've come across some found saved money I was putting away for beer and trip that I never went on when I was in college. It actually totals out to ~$325. I'm considering getting a new pair of boots. I've got a pair of the Wolverine 1000 miles in rust, so I was thinking maybe something black and with a moc toe or different then a normal toe, maybe some engineer boots or something. I'm going to throw in a little money, so any suggestions if I've got ~$425-450 to spend?

  7. Looking to pick up a vest... narrowed it down to three:

    Filson Mackinaw wool in brown: http://www.filson.com/products/mackinaw-wool-vest.10055.html

    Belstaff body warmer gilet in brown: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/Belstaff/PRDOVR~29320/29320.jsp

    Stronghold denim vest: http://www.orvis.com/store/product.aspx?pf_id=4K14

    Any others I should be considering? Cant really get much over $250.

    Thanks for all your help.

  8. Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I was surprised to see the the Tender Co. elephant on the packaging for Trader Joe's tissues. I'll have to get a picture next time I'm in the store.

  9. Viberg boots look great!!! What's with Paul Rose having only a 34 inseam? With shrinkage they will only be 32 or 31! And why only 36 w on most products? Has the 38 w been sold? Is it really odd to see someone in Quebec with a waist larger than 36 (34 with shrinkage) and an inseam greater than 34? Last time I checked construction and tradesmen were generally built. Not mad just really disappointed.

    My paulrose only shrunk about 1 to 1.5 in the inseam. At first I thought they shrunk too much, but I think they settled nicely.
