Uniqlo makes great clothes. I'm a tweener size there unfortunately but the couple pieces that do fit are great.

Dope collection!

What brand are those suede Chelsea boots on the far right in the top row?

Thanks in advance.

Then why is there a “request” flair? And why is rule #2 specifically talking about how to post a request..

I could maybe see doing that if you're planning to store them in a garage for 50 years and you want them to look new. But if you're actually using it I don't think you need it. I have a wallet that's 20 years old. Never once conditioned the leather. I have boots that were 20 years old when I got them 10 years ago. Belonged to my dad. Never conditioned. The stitching and soles will wear out years sooner than the leather. Conditioning leather is like treating wood furniture with a coat of mineral spirits. Does it help to preserve it? Yes. Will it still be there and functioning as intended without if you're using it, also yes. Just saying, if you like to take care of your stuff and make it look like the day you got it I get that. But it's not necessary imho

22°F is equivalent to -5°C, which is 267K.

I second this recommendation. I absolutely live my Kodiak tent. Have had it for 6 years now, used many times, and it still looks new. I suggest spending the little extra and get the VX model. The ability to open all walls to screens is awesome. I also have their sleeping bag. Best bag ever. Very large, warm, and comfortable. There is plenty of room to move your legs around. I've been in 22°F and warm as can be. It's definitely a car camp set up. Heavy. But I can easily set it up all by myself.

Keeping them conditioned with the correct types of oils helps keep the moisture out and lubricates the fibers. This keeps the leather more supple, the fibers more flexible, prevents dry rot, wet rot, mold and mildew, and means the leather doesn't disintegrate and crack as quickly, and will most certainly make it last a lot longer. It is very obvious on items like saddles, but it applies to boots and other leather items as well.

Over the last 10 years I bought 5 pairs. The first 2 lasted 2.5 years each. Literally put thousands of miles on them. But after wearing holes in the foam foot bed I switched to the leather foot bed. I've had them for 5 years. Wear them daily, year round. I abuse them too. Wear them ocean fishing, take them to the beach, rinse them in salt water. They're built like a tank. They realistically have another 5-10 years left in them. Which is more than I can say for any shoe or boot I've ever bought. And they're comfortable on top of all that.

Got a navy surplus wool pea coat that’s held its own for 30 years and $50!

I've had a simple bifold from Shinola Detroit that has really held up well. They have several models and colors. Mine is the Slim Bifold Wallet.

I’ve been very happy with the All-ett brand. https://www.all-ett.com/collections/leather-wallets

Most of the major brands have repair programs. Big Agnes for example has a list online of what they charge to replace a zipper or tent pole. In your position, I personally would look up top rated 6 person tents or maybe go with two 2/3 person tents. Read through some articles and narrow down the list based on budget and the repair policy listed on the manufacturer website.

Maybe something also to consider would be ease of set up. I had a Coleman at one point that was super easy to fold out. No poles in sleeves or anything like that. I also had one that required guy lines to set up that was a huge PITA. If you got kids running around, an easier set up would be convenient.

I disagree with the idea that you have to condition leather for it to last decades. Might look nicer but it will last either way. If you're talking about boots then maybe rinse the mud off. But the leather will outlast the sole more often than not.

The look like the boots everyone around here wears when working on their property. Their dress boots are far more fancy.

I updated the post to include my sex and budget. Currently researching what Goodyear welt is.

Came here wondering the same thing!!! Thanks for asking!!!

You are asking too broad a question. Men, women or children? Multiply by casual, play, dress, skirt, suits, pants and 300 other types of clothing. I get your question. I do. But there is no answer as the math is too high.

If you have any hope of finding great items at thrift stores you only hope is a smart phone while shopping and even then its a mixed bag as you can find a titanic quality Brioni suit that sold for $10,000 new, but it was sold new in 1984 with collars wider than the tires on your car. Quality does not mean you can actually wear it as fashion plays a role. The stories you read on the internet about people finding $10 Alden shell cordovan boots and $15 Jean Paul Gautier sweaters are by those who are hyper focused/smart in one clothing type and are in an area with fantastic thrift stores.

Where does the air creep in from? The elastic side panels?

Second this... Got mine from them. Bisom leather. Literally guaranteed for 99 years.

Ftw post a commission on r/leatherclassifieds and get exactly what you want, made from premium full-grain veg-tan leather, and handmade by a real leather craftsman.

You DO NOT want to be looking at brands with footwear ever. The super majority of brands sell both BIFL and normal footwear and you are not informed enough to know the difference and may buy XXX Brand boots based on internet advice and find out 18 months from now you stepped into a bear trap. You want Goodyear welted Chelsea boots. We also don't have a sex or budget as they come in heeled versions for women and $10,000 versions through John Lobb.

The Wolverine I-90 EPX Romeo is a rugged boot - has a shank, waterproof and with a decent lugged sole
