It’s crazy how much the color changes on the shirt depending on the angle and lighting. Possibly my favorite shirt I’ve owned.

Morning Mike, have you ever asked FW's if they've considered making boots n' shoes, seems to be the only thing missing from their repertoire.

Morning Neal - they’ve collaborated with Zip Stevenson previously (3 or 4 styles of boot) on rebuilds of vintage, and they sold moccasins in 2010 and 11 albeit they were just rebadged shoes from some U.S. supplier.

I’ve never asked them directly if they’ve plans but truth be told I’m not sure if they’d come up with anything better than is currently available. If they went middle of the road engineers or such they’d be swamped by the competition and if they went Clinch price level I don’t think they’d sell enough to warrant the effort. But now you’ve asked me ...

I'd like to see a Freewheelers interpretation of hi/lo sneakers leaning towards the high end of the market, to rival the likes of J.L, RMC ect.. i'd def buy a pair!

^ Nice. 

 @Duke Mantee don't you have the same jacket in red buffalo check? Or are is it just similar?

 Btw we need more back shots of those "1922's"   .

You might be confusing this ‘Brodovitch’ with my ‘Wigwam’ Doc - derived from the same ancestry 

 

 

Don’t you think I look enough of an arse without showing the other 2 cheeks?

^thanks for understanding what l meant, hey l much prefer the colour combo and collar on the wigwam jacket.

You don't have to be wearing the 22's but l can understand your reluctance and distraction techniques

Spelling!

[JDelage]

I love that Brodovitch. Blue & black is a special combo I've always been partial too, and I love the shawl collar.

Once in a while I smile

[Duke Mantee]

Ok there’s been too much hilarity and cheeriness on this thread recently, and this is my last here for a bit, which no doubt will bring more smiles ... but not from me, so I’ve added an extra 1000 yards onto the 1000 yard stare

Bootleggers Wavy, Freewheelers Oregon Trail, Jesse and 1922; Tender and White’s

That Oregon Trail is awesome. Too bad I discovered FW too late for this (and Saddle Rock, and so many other things).

good ol' Georg Simmel came to some understanding of the stare in his account of shifting patterns of human behaviour in the advent of urbanised modernity...

“The interpersonal relationship of people in big cities are characterised by a markedly greater emphasis on the use of the eyes than that of the ears… Before buses, railroads and streetcars became fully established during the nineteenth century, people were never put in a position of having to stare at one another for minutes or even hours on end without exchanging a word”

...  perhaps it still works as an analysis of the blogo-forum-verse ... just needs an addendum on comment culture ...  

  

[Maynard Friedman]

Patterns continue to shift and evolve too as people no longer need to stare at each other in queues or on public transport, they simply stare at mobile devices instead.
