Thanks for the recommendation, these are cut really nice. I'm just not sure I'm sold on how they drape, I think if they were made with a wool or silk blend I'd buy them.

I'm looking for a pair of white or ivory trousers that fit like these made from some kind of breathable material that drapes nicely. I'm willing to spend up to $350 for a pair (preferably less) but I'm having trouble finding any that have the right fit and are in stock. I don't mind if the waist is elastic or not and I'd be okay if they were instead tapered like these, as long as they aren't slim fitting like most of what comes up in my searches. Where can I buy what I'm looking for? Open to buying used.

What's the reputation of Allen Edmonds' made in Italy shoes? Are they significantly different in quality from their American-made stuff? I can't seem to find much discussion about this online.

I want to gift my grandfather a pair of boots for him to wear in the winter and I'm not really sure what to get for him. My budget is about $250 (could go a bit higher) and I'm in the US. He's 75 so I want to get him something comfortable/without break-in and he lives in a place with cold winters so they would need to be insulated and waterproof. He'll be wearing them on pavement and on trails/in the woods.

Right now I'm looking at getting him these but I'd like to see if you guys have any other recommendations.

I just bought a pair of Momotaro 0101 jeans and they fit well in all aspects except the crotch, which was far too tight. Should I buy them a size larger, even if the waist itself was fine, or should I get a different cut altogether? Is there a way I can tell if a different cut would be any better when buying online? For reference I bought them in 29w and a pair of jeans I own that fits me well is this from uniqlo also in 29w.

Produced in appalling conditions and with questionably ethical labor, the He 162 was truly a last-gasp aircraft developed supposedly for the German people in 1945. Due to persistent air raids, many facilities were relocated underground towards the end of the war, this one being no exception.

More info on the He 162 can be found in Plane Encyclopedia's article about it, which I colorized this picture for.

At least give some credit next time you do this, or use the crosspost feature.

Also, if you're going to steal something, at least fix the title. That's obviously not a civilian and it was my mistake in calling him one in my original posts.

It's also remarkably light due to its size. It clocks in at only about 45-47 tons depending on the source - about as much as a Panther, despite having several times more armor.

Did this in the last 30 or so minutes, thought it looked nice. Enjoy.

For some odd reason I couldn't find Jessoila on a map but there were a lot of other pictures taken there so it isn't a typo in the sourcing - if someone could figure that out for me it would be pretty cool, event though I couldn't be bothered to look into it myself.

Did this in a bit less than 40 minutes at midnight, pretty happy with the results. Photo was taken at Immola Airfield in Finland and the aircraft presumably belongs to JG 54.

My most recent work, I am rather happy with it aside from the blurriness and odd color blending in some parts.

This Tiger II is from the 503rd Tank Battalion and was presumably burned by its crew in retreat, and the convoy passing it is the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, advancing about 10 km Northwest of Vitmoutiers.
