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

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
