Kiya: are there any places in SF that can do leather jacket repairs? I have an old flight jacket that needs new knits and some stitching along the the collar.
might want to hit up Johnsons Leathers on Polk Street. Pretty sure they do repairs.

Good points dkatz. Although, the Roy BnB are chainstiched, correct? I haven't seen these, nor read any testimony, but I would assume they would behave the same as the Left Field as its the same material, isnt it?

I had one of my SDA chinos chain stitched and it made the leg opening look bunched up over time. I wouldn't recommend it with chinos... no problem with denim though.
did you cuff them or wear them cuffless? That issue was one of my concerns..

I wear my White's and denim--and duck--to blow glass, weld and do other work activities. What would you use instead?
Thats fine. I was attempting to saying I find it rather ridiculous to wear shell Wolverine's to tromp around swamps and shit. Denim and duck is workwear, but I'll wager the majority of those who labor are not wearing Strike Gold or Flat Head jeans to do it. If Im getting into some grimy work where I know I will be exposed to grease or oil, Ill wear a beat to hell pair of Carhartt's, not my Iron Hearts.

has anyone chainstitched the duck chino's? Ive been thinking about this for a hot minute but have not seen anything, and I rarely if ever see that kind of stitching on a chino pant

I dont really see the point in thrashing your boots like that, mostly because there are much better alternatives these days for the light duty hiking application. I dont buy japanese denim to work in, even though its technically workwear. I wouldnt buy Indy's or Wolverine's to hike in or wear to the construction site, even though they are technically work boots. Although I would love to see a deadstock pair of Wolverines from 1914 and a current pair side by side to see how they stack up to each other.

The black cxl on my whites is rather boring at the moment. i think its starts to get interesting when the brown starts to peek out from wear and tear. But you cant go wrong with black engineers, so ill shut the fuck up

why do the buckles protrude like that? Is it the new leather yet to settle, or is it how the buckles are designed?

have you tried the red wing work chukka (3141, i think)? its not as bulky as the 875's, but still has a certain classic RW element of style to it. Just a thought

nice. my natural cxl Oak Street's have darkened considerably. I suspect when yours do, that streaking will settle down a bit.
can I ask you all about heel slippage in engineer boots? seems that due to the design, its inevitable, but im not sure as I have not had a true engineer before. does it exist and go away as the midsole loosens up, or does it just not exist?

I asked this back in the old STLBWA thread so I'll bring this up again here. Any thoughts on the Whites Hathorn Travelers from Baker's? Haven't really read anything on here other than they look similar to the RW 9011 (IMO).
they are fine boots, but def. a step below the standard White's in terms of quality. The materials and construction are more robust than Red Wings according to my observations.

That's nothing, I've been waiting since july for my Russell moccasins and only just got the tracings finalised.
hopefully they dont send you some bullshit like Morse got from them a couple pages back...

whatever. another shill taking advantage/riding the "heritage work wear" trend. Id rather support Left Field NYC, or some other American brand than Glen Beck.

I would love that boot that Denimjunky posted, if the toe was not as upturned as it is.

plus, I hear a lot of it is made in China and Korea. I doubt that decision was made because they do a better job at making the stuff...

Im liking those William Lennon's as well. I keep saying I need a proper English boot in my life, but in fact I need another boot like I need another pair of jeans. One of these days I will though.

This seems to be the thread to ask so...
Who makes wallet reins besides OGL/Hollows/Tanner?
Hollows Leather makes nice ones, although you already knew that. I know Iron Heart makes some as well.

will you be getting the work shirt wabash version in, or just the western?

the White's sole color options are not too difficult to understand. They offer 3 different options. Natural, brown and black. You need to specify the color when you order them, just like you need to specify the size of the boot. The composition sole is a Vibram 700 that has been essentially cut in half, so the sole unti does not run to the heel, like in the pic posted above.

shit, that Wabash is nice. I think Kiya was raving about the buttons and the unique "wabash" pattern. Might have to give it a look.
