      White's arch support might make them unbearable for me, would definitely need to try a pair on before I committed

            This could go a couple places, but it is a random question. Been looking to up my work boots (actually for work) but need steel toes. Seeing a few options I like Wesco Jobmasters and a Viberg service (among others) that I think would suit the need. Wondering if anyone has experienced a steel toe version of these or if some might have other suggestions? On my feet for 8-10 hours a night so need something suitable for such.

            I've been wearing steel toe Jobmasters for the last ~8 years working oil and gas.  In that time frame, I'm only on my second pair which are about to be sent to Wesco for a rebuild.  These are hands down the most comfortable, supportive, tough bastards I've ever had on my feet.

                Red Wing 2233 or 2408 are less expensive alternatives.  comfortable.Don't know if still available but  Red Wing did make a composite toe boot I liked because once the steel toes get cold they stay cold.
                As Clint says  Jobmasters are the best I've worn  work wise for comfort even with the 100 Vibram.

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                  Thanks for the recommendations @steelworker Working in an old pair of rw now, and really want to step it up. Personally like Chippewa better than Red Wing anyhow, but neither is on the level I want

                    Leather jacket question. In the summer I picked up an Alexander x Iron Heart Simmons Bilt, which is a beautiful jacket, but it is tough as nails and proving a bit of a bugger to break in. I know the best way to break it in is to wear it as much as possible, but as it is a short jacket I am struggling for what to wear with it, my IH shirts are all too long and look a bit daft with it, so I am left with sweatshirts and tee's. Any thoughts on breaking it in, and what to pair it up with would be appreciated.

                      I say feck it and wear it with what you want even if the shirt is a bit long.

                      Btw, that jacket is beautiful.

                        I say flip it and get something that will fit with the rest of wardrobe better. Even with T-shirts it's short mate.

                          Jacket is gorgeous, but agree it's too short even for T's unless you start tucking them.
