Boots

There are many worth wile boots. Here are the top three.

1. Alden 405 Indy Boot

These are the 2nd most comfortable thing I have ever put on my feet. However, their durability, style, and fit make them wear like a work boot but look like a dress boot. Due to the durable Horween's Chromexcel leather upper and lining and Neocork sole these boots are good for any occasion which is probably why they were cosen to be Indiana Jone's boots. These boots feel like they form to your feet as soon as you put them on. There is no uncomfortable time frame for breaking them in. Each day you wear them them become for and more you shoes. They are larger boots that also wear like smatter boots.

2. Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot

These are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I ranked the 2nd only because they are so nice that I don't wear them as often as the rest of my boots. However, their classic plain toe design and breathable leather sole make them a pleasure to wear. I can't emphasize enough how good my feet feel after a day of wearing these boots. The sole breath so much it is almost like they are make out of lungs.

These boot also feature top quality Horween Chromexcel Leather uppers and linings. In that sense they are similar to the Alden 405. However, a stacked leather outsole and classic welt construction set them apart. Nevertheless, I have been much more apprehensive in wearing them in incubant weather and for that alone I cannot rank them number 1.

3. Red Wing Iron Ranger Boot

The boots are only a little bit more comfortable than your normal shoe, but they really make a fashion statement. They age beautifully, but take a while to be broken in. I have worn mine for 6 months and they are still being broken in. However, they are extreamly durable. The boots feature a Muleskinner leather upper, Goodyear welt construction with a rubber sole, and a cork and leather insole that molds to your foot.

They are third on my list because you can't get more comfortable than Wolverine 1000 Mile boot and Alden 405 boot. Their cap toe construction also sets them apart, but at the same time brought down to the level of a working man. This makes me wonder. If we dressed like worker at an iron smelting plant 100 years ago, would we even need a dress codes?

ReChair

Out with the old and in with the new. This chair is very similar to the sleepy rustic recliners we have in our house in Dorset, Vermont. I found the rustic blood red leather at Salvation Army for $3.50 and fitted over an old couch cushion foam that was "cut to size". I cut it large so that when you sat in the chair it would be a complete concave, hugging the backside and curling the support up the thighs making this chair ideal for sitting back and putting your feet up. I have to say, it works great! The loose design of the leather puts little pressure on the seams but in turn tends you wear the leather in the pattern of folds. The chair folds differently depending on who is sitting in it. Basically, the more you sit in it the better it feels.

New Messanger Bag

This was the first attempt at a bag. The Leather is cow hide and the strap is old fire hose. I have yet to add a hinge to fasten it. MORE TO COME!
