    Knifes and tabs - sadly lacking from today's pocket ballast.

    Ha! That fifth picture down reminds me of that Engineered Garments picture you posted the other day. I guess there is nothing new under the sun.

    That fifth image is amazing, it looks as though his Maine hunting boots have the leather actually overlapping the seam of the rubber instead of meeting at the seam like present bean boots. I love the look in general it is definitely a proper model for L.L. Bean of the 50s
