      I’ve been looking at military footwear and wanted to get your opinions and thoughts on the best military sneakers/boots made and/or available.

      Here are some interesting ones I found: 😘

          I love those rings, too – and maybe this is just me -- but I feel like the only people who should wear those are the people who have earned the right (served in the Navy).

            Maybe… I rather like the idea of casting some rings myself in that style, but without the USN and other writing. I’ve worked bronze before and done just fine… bet I could do silver too. Need to take classes on casting with silver. So this is how I am trying to convince myself I need one. 😉

                      Just spamming this thread on the off chance that it will make someone happy… ::)

                      Nomex flyer’s gloves….. Warm, fireproof, very soft, and MADE IN USA. Just that time of year... I use them on my motorcycle and they are great. I'm told that I have relatively large hands, but went with a size 9 which is supposed to be a medium...
                      If anybody cares: Type in "flyers gloves" into the Ebay machine and it’s pretty easy to find these brand new unissued...

                        A cotton comparison:

                        Levis cotton:

                        Iron Heart cotton:

                        OG-107 cotton sateen shirt cotton:

                        USAF wind resistant cotton sateen OG 107 jacket cotton:

                        The takeaway: Iron Heart uses some of the finest cotton as does the US military of old. Both are very nice and worth having. Levis sucks.

                          1.25" would be long staple yes? Extra long can go up to 2"

                          Think it, be it.

                            ^Good point.

                            “A long staple fiber is between 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" long. An extra-long staple fiber is between 1 3/8" (1.375’’) and 2" long.”

                            So the cotton in the pictures (apparently just a tad over 1.25’’) appears to be riding the line between long staple and extra long staple I suppose… Maybe the fibers could be pulled tighter to be less crimped or maybe there was .1’’ overlap or so. Hard to tell for sure.

                            Could be either one, guess I’ll edit my post to reflect this uncertainty.
