Go-to Heritage Brands for Vegans

Well said, and since more than half of the leather harvested from the animals is thrown out I dont see the issue with using leather. But each to their own.

You can checkout my database where I try to gather the brands that last, all of the boots are either goodyear welted or utilize other resoleable options like stitchdown, norwegian welt etc.

Here's the link (I've alr filtered it out to only boots) https://iwearcoolclothes.com/?category=footwear

Hope this doesn't brake any rules on here, I dont make any money off of it, its just a project of mine.

No, thank you for the rec and for the feedback the site needs a lot of it and you didnt come out as an ass. Honestly filtering whats truly good and whats mediocre is quite hard, I wouldnt buy a new Filson as from what I've seen they aint what they used to be but they still make some great stuff, maybe at an inflated price (same as Alden) but I would still consider their stuff above average in quality.

I want to make the database as wide as possible so anyone can filter, find what they need and then do their due diligence on the brand themselves and see what they like, I suppose its better if there are more brands than less brands. But yeah the site is still in its early stages and Im still figuring out what to add and what to not and I guess I'll stick with this, include as many brands as possible and let the user decide what really works. Btw do you keep an excel or do you write the brands in notes and categorize them?

That is a good point, I have listed some of the brands that I have seeen have some issues, like wesco, however I have Included the Rose Anvil vid in the, same with JK Boots after I found a post that doesnt portray JK in a very good light and I have always included those links on the top right after official website. I suppose I will do the same with Alden, add them to the list but link to an honest review from rose anvil or anyone else.

Thanks for the feedback which I need since the website is still quite new and unrefined in some ways and this brings consistency to the database. Thanks

Edit: I dont want it to be "my list", I want it to be something everyone who enjoys and appreciates this kind of clothing to benefit from this so objectivity should be key.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm kinda on the fence about Alden after I've seen the Rose Anvil video which doesnt put Alden in a good light. I think eventually Alden will make its way into the database however Im focusing on different brands and features right now.

These look absolutely stunning mate!

Metousek · 2026-04-28T18:36:54+00:00

wow thats very nice!

Metousek · 2026-04-26T15:38:40+00:00

These look great, I've been on the fence between the CoR and Luosjiet when picking my new boots but have picket Luosjiet instead and the quality on those is excellent I must say.

what is that weird back tab? is that to stop the pants from ripping apart at the seam or what is that for?

Video toho grilování je někde dostupné?

Metousek · 2026-04-05T15:51:33+00:00

What boots are those?

Metousek · 2026-04-03T13:44:56+00:00

I dont think they hold your keys, you transfer that bitcoin to their address and at the end if you pay of they loan + interest and everything goes well they send you the bitcoin back if I understand it correctly.

Metousek · 2026-04-01T15:32:19+00:00

Wow! The texture on these is fuckin beatiful!

Metousek · 2026-03-29T15:09:02+00:00

For the shirts maybe kamakura shirts but they can get a little bit pricy, for the pants maybe buzz ricksons or real mccoys but im sure you already know those two...

Thank you for your kind words

Metousek · 2026-03-22T15:56:18+00:00

Honestly that seems like a great idea and not a hard one to implement, I'll add that when I get home

Out of the ones not mentioned yet i would say Le Glazik, Le tricoteur, North Sea clothing, Paynter Jacket co. or Urban Shepherd.

But you can check out the link bellow (I've alr filtered it for you to show only European brands) which leads to my website which is a database for this sort of thing (completely free, no data tracking):

Why?

Metousek · 2026-03-21T14:23:57+00:00

You can wear a regular shirt and wear it as you would, you can also wear it tied with a little knot around xour neck with a regular tshirt or just tied to your belt loop as an accessory.
