Riding gear

Let's see your boots and jacket.
I'd like to find a pair of boots with some vintage syle...maybe lineman's boots or something. Or, dedictaed riding boots with some vintage flair to them. Take a look at the Bennelli article in this months Motorcycle Classics, pgs. 44-48. I'd like to know what he's wearing.
As for a jacket, I can't make up my mind between a vintage Schott Perfecto (the HEAVY horsehide kind), a textile jacket I can convert and wear year round, a dedicated motorcycle jacket with armor, or even a touring type jacket (but those all seem to be 3/4 length...I prefer waist length).

You want 'em modled or ?
I've got a pair of Redwing linemans, 18" I belive they are, and an old Unik biker style jacket. Need to find some 110 inch laces for the Redwings, parachute ripcord?

Got that magazine issue but haven't gone through it yet. You should email the author and ask about his boots. He wrote and took the photos it says.
