Well, don’t feel ashamed. I have a tattoo of a vans shoe on my leg for heaven’s sakes. It was my first job and I thought it was “cool” at the time. No, pics won’t be shown.

Very true CBI ;-)
I'm 48 and have been told more than once by the better half that I should act my age. But should we?
And Mindful, if you're happy with what you wear and with what, that's all that matters. Sure some of us think that these old WWII jackets look better with old school shoes and boots but if you want to do it differently, then why the hell not.
Judging by your smile in the photo you posted you look pretty damn pleased and happy, and at the end of the day that's what it should be about. All this other mumbo-jumbo we talk and extrapolate about for thread after thread is irrelevant.
Be happy in your jacket regardless of footwear or anything else!

a sometimes annoyance with these forums, one posts something and then some other unexpected aspect of the post gets criticized. As soon as I saw the photo, I excepted someone to tell mindful to tuck his shirt in. That just the way many forums have become!!!!
.............and then the expected down the rabbit hole of wear what you like comments.
Wow Nick, a Vans tattoo..............
if mindful had worn "period" shoes/boots................well then it becomes a vintage costume with the jacket, vintage shirt, jeans, boots, etc.
anyway...............all in fun............
just clothes.................

For what it’s worth, I thought it was a good look. I’ve been rocking my flight jackets recently with a pair of Air Max 90s, so don’t let anyone tell you what looks ‘right’ with these things.

I really don't understand the need to express an opinion on the poor guy's shoes. Really beside the point on a Vintage Leather Jacket forum. Like all of us, @mindful has his own opinions about style and he doesn't need to hear what any of us would do differently.
I second that! This forum is quite cheering, seeing many guys worldwide enjoying original styles and outfits, so let's keep it this way

Couldn’t agree more and I think the snide remarks only push people away and do the forum no favours.

Thank you guys for the moral support appreciated, I haven’t even posted on VJL for years,for one minute I thought I shouldn’t have never put this post up but now I’m thinking actually it’s brought some true colours out that everyone can see.
I love a western
