hey true blue, i give you full marks for doing that to a pair of sda's. quite impressive, though they're starting to look like some bleached bootcuts now.

popped into the store yesterday and was pleasantly greeted with some breakfast stout. i don't remember seeing it this early..

havin those alico tahoe boots from the other page!

russell walkers in brown and medium brown french veal and espresso navigator on the toe from a little more than a year on

as they were new

the two tone was a bit too rascal for my liking so i applied several light coats of watered down garment dye to the medium brown leather except for the collar.

art carters in chocalate veal for the non painting sessions

with that album title, does shed know or did he kill whoever or whatever actress was 'r.i.p.'ing???

hmm. their hues are quite similar as well.

picked these up, though it's far too humid to be drinking em now..

was rapture vs supplication a close game?

out in the woods with no cork screw..

more shots of it here - http://jamesrmcnally.com/2012/05/takahiromiyashitathesoloist-%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%92%E3%83%AD%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%82%BF-%E3%82%B6-%E3%82%BD%E3%83%AD%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88-goatskin-jacket/#more-22859

does anyone know what type of denim was used for the mr bathing ape jeans?

http://www.present-london.com/mr-bathing-ape/mr-bathing-ape-warehouse-indigo-denim/

they're indeed scotch grain (these ones - http://www.oipolloi.com/trickers-stow-brogue-boot--espresso-scotch-grain-1) but after some time the grain around the front of the boot has really smoothed out.

do you use the trickers polish with yours? what shade if so?

i quite like the reddish colour coming out on the burnished pair you posted a couple pages back.

quick smudge after greasing the scotch grain espresso stows and alico summit boots.

aye. i do the same with my fencing. gotta protect the investment. can't have scrubs brushing up against it on the metro.

take the money you might spend on a beater road bike and get an internal geared hub for the ruffian.

you won't be able to go anywhere with those serras that you couldn't go with a pair of hightop sneakers. the sole is quite flimsy and the uppers are stripped down so they don't offer much support. they used to come with a disclaimer (perhaps still do?) of something along the lines of 'these shoes are not intended for hiking. do not use on the trail..'

the whymper boots, eiger (provided you change out the christy wedge) and possibly the moncler v ones are proper hiking boots.

bienvenue Bunga!

Visvim Fluxus 05.

a little less than two years..

honestly, thank you for the suggestions, but i'm looking for something that will be water/snow resistant and also be able to double slightly dressed up in those conditions as well,

so that i why i might be learning towards the retro fashioned old school look of the Danners II or Vibergs models

Paraboot Avoriaz

black and brown are standard, but you may be able to find some of the oki ni versions from a couple years ago on the cheap -

Merzbot, those are sweet! Your pair?

If they were a few sizes larger they might have been! hah

They belonged to the user switch, but I believe he sold them on.

looks like they're doing the rounds on a different forum now.

warming up to those guide boots. riff, yours are well on point.

i quite like the reverse chromexcel ones too.

Visvim Fluxus 05R at 18 months

(sized up a couple with many washes)

hidden rear pocket zipper no longer hidden

after 8 months

took a punt on some nasty multi tone russells

as they were in june out of the box -

and today after the summer months -

espresso navigator and medium brown french veal double vamp walking shoes.

hmm. bit of a strange one that then. maybe just vary from season?

^The one you tried on was more than likely the Rain Shadow jacket and not the Torrent Shell.

Re Manilla Field Jacket: if it's the one from the first Veilance season, then yes it'll be just fine for winter with layers underneath. The following season (S/S) they did a LT version of the Field Jacket. Even that one can be worn throughout the year as it's still a three layer proshell.

bump!

this is what MilSpex uses to roast marshmellows -

you going to give it some time before opening the five renski?

one of the perks of being in mn

to the user surly, if you're back from your voyage, there's still some places in st. paul that have it.

teki allstar!
