Red Wing's 1155 NailSeat Pecos boots
Much like the Iron Ranger, the Pecos roper boots have a long history (100+ years vs 65-ish, anyway). Still sold on the Red Wing Shoes website today, these boots are part of their work line, which features a poron insole instead of the traditional leather you'd find in

The anatomy of a roper boot, and how cowboy boots should fit
Slip on/pull on boots are probably the trickiest for most people to size for their feet. Having no laces to cinch the boots tighter, they feel different when you walk in them — and a lot of people think they've sized wrong when they have heel slip. If

Wrangler's cowboy cut denim jacket
Not necessarily a trucker jacket, but close enough in style to call it one: the M-159 jacket from Wrangler is one of their best items. In that beautiful 100% cotton broken twill material, the way Wranglers break in is just different. And you don't have to pay an

32 Degrees: a brand I've been wearing for over 15 years
And it's inexpensive. I was going to use the word "cheap" there, but the stuff really isn't — it lasts, it's built decently, and it pretty much just does the job it's meant it. There's not much more you

Why I prefer leather suspenders to leather belts
No, I don't wear leather suspenders more often than belts, but I do tend to prefer how they feel and function when I'm doing active things. For instance bending over with a leather belt that's taut to your body tends to squeeze your guts.

Why you should thrift quality shirts (like Wrangler pearl snaps)
The "how" on thrifting is actually super uncomplicated, but ultimately a little patience goes a long way when you're looking to buy something decent that's actually your size. I mostly recommend sites like eBay, Poshmark, Grailed, and Mercari — all of which I've

Barbour's Duncansea chore coat
A pretty simple canvas jacket in olive green. It's an interesting jacket with a unique-looking collar. I like it. It's not a style they make in the UK, and I'm pretty sure they don't sell it anymore. But it's a

Leather jackets: things to look for when thrifting for a half-decent quality jacket
Leather jackets are probably the most expensive investment you're likely to make when it comes to clothing, and usually it's not an expense people want to pay. One of the better options is just thrifting a vintage jacket, or something slightly used (or for those that

Taylor Stitch's Cash shirt in indigo selvedge denim
I've owned a few things from Taylor Stitch over the years, and off the top of my head this is the only thing I have left — their Cash shirt in a washed indigo selvedge. Really nice denim, terrible button holes. I had to stitch them back together myself.

The peacoat EVERY brand tries to copy: the 1940s WWII peacoat from the U.S. Navy
Military dress is one of the most prominent places to look to when it comes to style and fashion — particularly the WWII era, which I believe was a turning point not only in technological progress, but also with the clothing we wear. Hiring contractors to design and make war garments

Schaefer Outfitter's Fenceline vest in natural cotton
With its beautiful buttons and beautiful made-in-USA embroidered flag on the inside, you'll no longer see these specific vests from Schaefer unless you hunt around on eBay. Sometimes the pride in craftsmanship is what gets me, not necessarily where something is made; the durability and construction may be
