They're from Chester Cordite. I have 3 pairs of his Belgrave trousers now so I practically live in them!

Good for you to clothe oneself in a retro vibe as much as possible!

I collect vintage clothing, but I find repros easier and less stressful for everyday use. Suits are what I have most of, like this 1930s German 3-piece.

I particularly like the hat. Too many modern copies just don’t embrace how tall and (relatively) straight-sided hats were in the ‘20s and ‘30s. Nicely done!

Had to travel to Santa Fe to get some jacket weather. The Bronson M-421A, GW RW 18091, and Sheeley Monarch AN-J-3A all made the trip. Planning to get some time in the RW tomorrow.

Thanks Burt.
In hindsight, I wish that my youngest had been wearing her 5* G-1 for the pic. I'll try to get a dad/ daughter USN jacket pic in the next couple days.BTW, I'm planning to hit up Standard and Strange on Saturday, if anyone needs me to keep an eye out for anything in particular.

Strongly seconded!
Nothing for me, but have fun with their boot collection - their denim is awesome too. Check out Full Count jeans. There’s some great vintage styles made using awesome selvage. I think you’ll have a blast in there.

See what a pair of Loftgren Rough outs are selling for . A couple of weeks ago they were $900. Now they raised their price again to $980. I think .Thanks Burt.

Just checked the website and still $900. Could you be thinking of the roughout combat boots?

Full Count and Momotaro are both great brands to look at. FC will have more vintage cuts though.
My advice on the JL fit: since they changed the sizing, they’re pretty much equivalent to a Red Wing Iron ranger in fit. So order half a size below your Brannock Device measurement, UNLESS you have low-volume feet (narrow, low instep, and/or low arch). Then order a full size down.
They might be able to help you get sized for them though. If they have other JL boots that fit the same as the M-43s, or just other boots that are equivalent, you could easily get a good idea of what to order.

I'm a 9.5EE in Iron Ranger. There's no wide width option on the Lofgren M-43's correct?
