I like the look and how the undertones are a dark chestnut.

Thanks! I'll try not to roast them on any open fires!

Words of wisdom!

If you're planning on getting the Savile Row specs anyway, you can order clip-on sunglasses to fit them. Here are mine:

Glad to be of service!

The model you are looking for is the Berkshire Chase Savile Row. You can order them from framesdirect.com but I would recommend going through a local optician so you can be properly fit.

These 405s are over eight years old. I used some brown shoe polish on them a couple of times several years ago and I give them a dose of Pecard's a couple of times a year. Sometimes I wear them to the office and sometimes I wear them out in the woods. If you take care of them, they'll take care of y...

Oops, the right one is the SR and the left one is the Francois Pinton!

The top picture shows the Savile Row frame with 49mm lens in chestnut. The bottom shows a frame by Francois Pinton ( which I prefer) that is offered by Ben Silver out of Charleston.

Well, when I ordered, the Hero was only being offered in the crispe lamb and I really wanted the goat.

Thanks, guys! I've been sleeping in it the last few nights to help out with the "breaking in" process- seems to be working out pretty well except for the wife laughing at me.

And here are a couple of pics of the jacket without the ugly old man in it!

Ask and you shall receive.

Back in 2002 I bought a Wested Raiders jacket in distressed cowhide which has served me well, lo these many years. When the weather recently turned cooler I decided it was time to break it out again but it was nowhere to be found! I suspected that its disappearance was somehow linked to my wife's pe...

Is it too late to place an order with him? How do I reach him?

I placed my order on Aug 17,2002. I e-mailed Peter when I still had no confirmation on Aug 19. He sent me a confirmation message via email on Aug 20. ( The jacket arrived on Oct. 1. - I love it!). Don't panic, you are doing business with a reputable businessman but I don't think he has automatic ema...

I'd go with the cotton.

I recently bought a pair. I got them in the Blonde rather than the Chestnut color (looks better with my complexion, I think). I'm very satisfied with them.

I had mine stitched for about 3/4" along the stitching medial to the top 3 hooks. The stitching is hidden in the stitching already there. Works great!

Well, I got my Aldens back from the Shoe Hospital so I don't have to live with it........it's fixed! He stitched the tongue, hiding the stitches along the stitching just inside of the hooks. The cost? $6.50.

I've been having this same problem with my Alden's. The fit feels just fine but both tongues tend to migrate toward the lateral aspect after walking (the right one does it quicker than the left). I tried some Dr. Scholl's gel insoles (which feel great by the way) but they really didn't stop the wand...

Is the NH Raiders shirt 100% cotton or is it a blend? Enquiring minds want to know!

All of this talk about hat hair, combs, brushes, hair gel, etc. leaves some of us feeling rather wistful. It's a problem I have not suffered in lo these many years!

Whats a CHIGGER?

Come to the Southeast and spend a day in the woods wearing short pants and loose fitting underwear and you will learn all about chiggers!

I recently got a pair of Alden's and they shipped with a small container of "Meltonian" shoe polish in Brick. After a couple of weeks of wear I applied a good coat of Pecard's followed by an application of the Meltonian Brick polish. This definitely darkened them up a bit. The color was mu...

I've always heard that using a dressing like Pecard's on suede or nubuck will "seal the nap" so that it loses its original texture. But I've never tried it. Be careful!!
