Mackinaw Cruiser

Great wool jacket, very warm, very stylish, and damn near goes with everything. Love this jacket, can’t believe I’m the first to review. Very warm by itself or with a base layer you can get into single digits. I bought a navy blue one and its almost like having a stylish peacoat or even a topcoat but more bombproof. Full review

Uplander Boots

Awesome all purpose boot that will outlast me. I have had these boots for over a year now so I feel pretty comfortable reviewing them in depth. I love these boots.

I usually have… Full review

Will definitely not buy anything from the Seattle store again; word of warning to watch what they charge if you order online. Full review

The sweatband failed many years ago and the leather trim band was loose after the first week I had it. But who needs sweat and trim bands? I need something that keeps both the sun and rain out of my eyes… Full review

Uplander Boots

Nice high top boots. I got these used on e-bay, so paid about half price for a lightly worn pair. Fit is great, lacing works well, and I think they will be good with both light and medium socks. They don't have great arch support, but are still comfortable. I would not use these for any serious hiking as I prefer a European hiking/mountaineering boot for that.   However, knocking around in the summer and fall these keep the cheat grass out of my socks, will last for years. They are also pretty… Full review
