on my second pair of sunglasses, first one lost.

I have prescription in another pair and love them, I made sure to get thing lenses and couldn't be happier.

j_m_t

I've had 3 pairs of these glasses one 2 sun one clear...2 from the original release, one I lost several years ago and was great no problems The other in the original release I put in prescription lenses 2-3 years ago and had a screw come out that I had to replace, no issues since the last pair I got...

yeah really want to pick one of these up since mine has some dry rot on the sides but has held up wonderfully for having been used as a diaper bag for the last 4 years....love these bags.

j_m_t

price is crazy.

I'd sooner get another Filson, glad I got mine when they were reasonable

The FBI was also interested in knowing his wartime merits and whether or not he actually deserved them in KOTCS. Certainly not the most stellar reputation. this scene has nothing to do with his rep but a direct play on the red scare at that time which was coming to an end in 57 and imo is shown by ...

Anyone else have trouble with the tongues on the 405's not staying centered? Always sliding towards the outer side of the foot. I did for a while but I googled different ways of lacing boots and that helped a LOT. Just find the one that works for you, it apparently is a common issue with easy fixes

j_m_t

I'm the only one that's going holy @#$%? 10-15 years of wear sure, but one year!

now granted using saphir while help make em look newish again....

and I'm also wondering where you work and if they are hiring to be able to use those as hiking and work boots.

j_m_t

not worried about the glue leaching out onto the hat?

I gt my gun belt from makeitjones, It's top notch imo. I'm not a fan of the whip holder I got with it, the whip rolls around and uncoils but that could also me not knowing how to attach them and or col it properly. I'd have gotten the holster from him as well but have yet to be able to afford it tha...

yeah I've been wearing the tinted pair I got for a few days now and dig them, can't wait to get prescription in my other pair.

love the color, thickness and overall style

j_m_t

finally ordered Friday after getting my gas mileage reimbursement and got shipping notification just about an hour ago

j_m_t

been wanting since they were announced but stupid car needed work so have to wait another week before ordering mine.

Glad to see that they turned out well

I've been carrying an original for 3 years and 8 months as a diaper bag, very sturdy, kept the inner dividers and I like to keep a water bottle in it (small). Like said would have room for a tablet. I do have a small hole for the last year from dry rot ( I guess I've never bothered to look up what i...

I also have the renovateur for a once a year treatment...which I have not done because my boots still look amazing

love my 405's

you should be excited there great to wear and I still get compliments when I wear them

I got a phone call returned from a Mr Clark, who is a sales manager. He listened to my story and asked that I return them to his attention. I asked for his email as well, so I could go ahead and send him the pictures to look at. I've got them ready to drop off at the post office; I'm thankful they ...

I'm wanting a decent hat stand to go along with it so it doesn't get misshapen ( if that even happens) from my hat rack.

j_m_t

great question I have as well....

I keep mine on my grandmas old hat rack, hoping this is not a faux pas for a decent hat (think it's a Henry).

when I get my Penman was going to check on better ways of keeping it around the house

j_m_t

I have not used the renovator yet just the Creme, med brown to take the scuffs out and works great for me so far. It really does only take a dime size to clean the shoes. The way I read it you use the renovator once a year to make sure the leather doesn't dry out, though the crem has kept my shoes n...

I ordered mine from the San Fransisco store.

never heard of this one before, carmel is the only other specific Alden store I've seen...sorry

he has hats in all different price range. The range in panama hats are a lot broader then felt. been wearing panama hats for a few years now and my future in-laws brought me on from Equador (they are from there) and it's a lot better then the one I got, just wish it was the right size. can't wait t...

SORRY, SORRY,

had two boards open at the same time and put in wrong place, very much love both Army of darkness (mondo poster) and what was ACTUALLY being talked about here Young Frankenstein (which hopefully the Alamo will do a screening of as well).

I wondered if anyone would catch the reference. :[ Why? great movie....see if I can post this.... https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/181050_10151503857079172_947249583_n.jpg?oh=7036fc7435a33de4e6ff02f50423c6a1&oe=550D344D&__gda__=1423469214_aafe0c027fd0270002ea8...

love this thread!

I've been wearing a Panama Hat for several years now without much thought.

got an Indy hat not too long ago and having trouble wearing it out of the house, but that's more because I find it a more formal hat and I've been a jersey and polo shirt kinda guy for a while now.

It's not. I got the bag strap and belt and they are very nice, the belt took a little breaking in tbh

j_m_t

I can't say my 405's are over priced, granted they've gone up 20 bucks but they are quality my good sir.

Plus a squeak developed about a year after I got them and they shipped me a new pair without any problems

j_m_t

SO I used the "search" function and found this thread. I see lots of LINKS but most of them are outdated. SO does anyone have a LINK to the rucksack that everyone seems to agree on?? I've handled a LOT of these bags and the MFH brand is by far the best built one. Everything is heavy duty....

j_m_t

great now I'm wondering how silly I am for saving up for a Penman...I'm sticking to my guns on this and say to myself not much

j_m_t

yeah just shoot him an e-mail and he'll get right back to you. was smooth and no problems either time I ordered.

j_m_t

I use it for a diaper bag and works great to put diapers in a pouch, wipes on the other side of the divider and a sippy cup and snacks in the other compartment. Get a repo if you're going to hack it up imo But if you must be careful and I guess get a thread cutter tool (sorry if that's not the right...

I HAVE hiked in my Indy boots but the modern hiking boots I think are still much more supportive and comfortable. The Indys work for sure but my Asolo gortex boots are amazing. I've had these Indy shoes since about 1990. I've retired them as shoes but still use them for the Indy Halloween costume a...

If it's awesome, meaning clean and in great shape and not expensive sure I'll take one

j_m_t

:-s I´d not give a HOOT about the correct colour because the boots Indy wore were USED and thus the colour has been worn off :roll: It eventually does,if one wears ones boots every day as one should like one will...or will one,anyone??!! At least I will if and when I get mine...price you know :x NO...

j_m_t

My first question is how many times have you had them resoled and my second is how old are they.

If you've never had them resoled before then yes I'd call shenanigans but if it's like 3-5 times no since they can only be resoled so many times

j_m_t

So I got one of these and I'm wondering how I should go about cleaning it. I've looked and looked (I know I saw some advice somewhere but I cant find it) There are a couple very small holes inside some brown/blackish stains. I was thinking of some detergent in the sink and trying to wash by hand but...

It's obvious that it can be done. My guess is that with the current variety of regular production offerings, they simply don't want to invest in another. From a business perspective, the 'original Hero boot' market is likely a small group. They do small batch orders all the time though for differen...

everything I read is that the original tannery doesn't exist blah blah blah dye is hard or impossible to find blah blah blah

I recently got mine before he sold out. While I love the color, fabric and overall comfort - more than a few people have commented how it looks too baggy in the crotch.
