I always figured the Vests were designed to wear over leathers, so the lack of a bulky leather tag was so it wouldn’t add any bulk around a jacket collar or scratch up the leather after the patch dried a bit.
Obviously I completely made that narrative up haha [emoji38]

Makes enough sense for me…
It will also be a plus when I grow muscles and decide too wear it in lieu of a shirt, lol

Who makes a nice quality cast iron skillet?

Might check out Lodge. I suspect they should last many years and I don’t think I need to spend $200+ for a skillet

We cook almost exclusively on cast iron, and the best pieces I have came from antique shops. Newer lodge has a pebbled finish on the interior, and a great cast iron skillet with be smooth as glass, and once properly seasoned, almost completely non-stick.

I think the pebbling is part of the casting process. After 10-15 years of use, the surface smooths down.
I think Lodge pre-seasons all their pans now, which to me, is kinda like buying pre-faded denim.

I also have antique skillets, but the brand Field sells cast iron skillets with smooth interiors for about the same price as Lodge.

The pebbling is a result of the casting process, but in antique cast iron pans and some contemporary brands, they sand the interior smooth, which allows for a better non-stick surface.

Are they US made?

I have a boot conditioning question, Obenauf’s or Venetian shoe cream? Which brand do you prefer to condition your boots and why? Does it even matter?

I use obenaufs and pecards boot oil (obenaufs if they have been getting wet, pecards if they've just been sitting). I don't think there is a single right answer for leather care.

I suspect it doesn't make much difference. Personally, I typically use Bick 4, since it's pretty common with the cowboy types around here.
But for what it's worth, the bookmaker I respect most, Lee Miller, considers Saphir products the best available.
That probably just made things worse, not better, didn't it?

I use Saphir for my dress shoes only. Think I’ll just try one of the brands and see how it goes
