Couldn't resist these black triple vamp Russell Moccasin Bird shooters on their ebay store at $160 for a bad weather boot this winter.

 

 

This is now my third pair of Russells... oops

Awesome

Damn I thought I was mis-reading this thread date for sure. 2011?

I don't understand why Tricker's attaches the uppers so snug around the toe, it always looks like the storm welt cuts off the medallion.

True, but not on the bigger sizes

Seriously, he checked off everything on his life to-do list and did it better than anyone could have imagined. Who else was that successful in their professional lives? Michael Jordan maybe. Maybe Derek Jeter's ho list?

sufu 5.0 seems to suffer from lots of double posts

is there anything that can be done to cuts in leather boots? Ive seen some pictures and movies about leather glues that can fix cuts in leather sofas etc but not sure if these cuts can be fixed by it. I dropped off my boot with my local cobbler and instead of asking me first he decided to stitch a piece of leather over the deepest cut. He suggested to polish the boots and that way hide the less deep cuts. pretty upset about it since I wanted to try the glue option first.

That looks weird,are you sure the cut area is leather? Looks vinyl ish

Either way, a patch would work best. At least it's black, you don't have to worry about matching brown shades.

Shell shoes on retricker, shoot fast!

Edit: Nvm, gone~~~

those were sick

Ketamine. Prolly discussed somewhere in this very thread. Deffly on sufu

I dunno where you anti mac tech nerds come from.

90% of the hardcore programmers I know use a Mac. I dunno why, I'm not a technerd. You tell me. They aren't smelly hipsters either. They are uber dorks

the last photo of him taken in public (4 months ago):

That's in Palo ALto.

Also, sufu content: I'm pretty sure he rocked LVC 47s. Seriously

they don't look so bad. I mean, these aren't 22 year olds, they are a little older. I bet one of them is a standup comedian or some shit. I see way worse at Chipotle

i'm always worried that the direct sunrays of the morning might damage my Onkyo stereo system.

really enjoyed this one

gfeller makes real shit. too real for most sufus

nice longwings davichan

Kyle, when you mention medaillon toe caps , is it the same as perforated toe cap? this is what i have in mind

Medallion usually means the punch design on the center of the toe, like in the tan Trickers below your post

they are called balmoral boots

if you mean the design where the piece of leather goes from the front continuously to the back, that is called galosh or golosh (like modern galoshes - rubber overboots). Longwings are a type of golosh

bought a 12-inch memory foam mattress, wasn't quite comfortable enough and it had warm spots.

bought a down mattress topper, its nice and all but every month or so a feather comes out

NUDIEZ was tha HOTNESS when I joined

wood will absorb the moisture that's in your boots and send it on it's way, while rags will just soak it in, and keep it in the boot... It's better for your leather..

not really

thanks for posting those Skye again, fresco, they are looking great.

Can I ask what shoe trees people here favour? My tricker's are probably suffering without some, and I'd like to keep my Lotus and Kelso as uncreased as possible. I know there's debate about whether to use them only after wear, or keep them in continuously, what do people here do?

The woodlore Epics fit my Stows perfectly.

I leave them in as much as possible, although I have fewer pair of trees than shoes total, so when shoes go into long term storage (more than a month) I don't think they are necessary.

this is 100% cali.

what do kids on the east coast sound like?

I know kids from SF who talk/live like this since like 1989. no big deal...

It's taking the piss a little bit, I'd not have half the Tricker's collection I have if I'd have paid that much cash per pair.

And although I love Tricker's, Crockett & Jones are in a different league of quality. I can't see how Tricker's can justify those kinda prices rises in such a short period of time...

hmm, disagree somewhat, quality is about the same as CJ, although I suppose its rational to expect to pay more for dress shoes than country shoes

2 year old Gilt links still work

it definitely bears a striking resemblance

the restaurant, Gonpachi, still exists. cool place

USC is not much better than UCD, just stay there.
