quick Alden last question; is it safe to assume that the Berrie last fits the same as Trubalance last? About to preorder the Alden Roy boots from Context.

according to this chart the sizing should be the same

it's a beautiful boot btw, i love the way it ages judging from beatle's pic.

^^ I really like that vest, the whole outfit looks great.

Lendo kills it, can't rep though.

Nice repair job Mr HaGa!

se / fc / white's

They look great Ben, i like the washed out look

Love the fit and the shoes Ed

Mich -- What watch is that?

looks like Diesel, maybe DZ 7024 or sth similar? I used to have the same one. a fun watch, but mine fell apart.

it's a Diesel, i don't know the type but the DZ7024 is similar in shape, just a different colour.

I already replaced the wristband once because the rubber had torn on the original one.

Good to see the tour is on the roll again.

I must have missed it, what are your blog and twitter adresses Kix?

Wrangler chambray / aa / Denime / Alden

vintage Rayban / fotl / Samurai / Alden

^^very nice

still love for the zero denim....

I really enjoyed watching the last few pages of this thread, there's no such thing as a pic overload.

by the way, thanks edmond and mich for advising the size, i ordered the whites few days ago...but i have never wear boot with speed hook before, is it true that the speed hook will damage the laces much faster?

No problem, i have found that round laces get damaged pretty easy by the speedhooks on my White's, with flat laces i've never experienced that problem.

Just a quick question for you guys, edmond, fresco, coleslaw, bill, mich...etc

after two years of wearing my trickers, now i have decided to move on to white's semi dress, i traced my foot and send it to whites. I guess i didnt trace my foot correctly. They are giving me a size that i think no way i would fit.

so for reference...

i wear size

US 8C in redwing

UK 7 fitting 5 in trickers

what size should i be getting for whites?

your a size 8c in whites buddy

I agree with Ed, just go with your size in RW and you'll be fine.

You'll love them.

Like another poster (Mich?) I'm not really experiencing any color loss. Tub and water I soaked them in didn't really turn blue, and I'm not getting any blue on my hands even when the jeans were wet. The dry 1108Cs I handeled last week turned my hands pretty blue in just 5 minutes.

that was me, i only had a hint of blue underneath my fingernails after i handled them wet, with other jeans my hands were half blue after doing that.

Good to see a lot of guys receiving their pairs these days, i'm looking forward to some arc action and fit pics

Anyone have stockist information? I know they list MEG Company on their site but I'm pretty sure that's just a distributor and not a direct line to Yuketen themselves...

Fck those look great!

I don't own any Yuketen, but i do know Oipolloi (click) stocks them, not these though, but they might be able to help you get in contact with them or do a special order.

It's very easy to wax them by yourself! Just buy some "solid" wax (beeswax, or something they use to wax clothing like Fjällräven or something you can get from there...), it costs about 5 - 10$ and will do the rest of your life. Rub it to laces, warm with hair dryer until it's absorbed, and maybe same over again. I've done it couple of times like this. Though, I've used cotton laces but it should work either way.

Funny, i do this too. I rub my laces on a piece of fjällräven wax, but instead of a hairdryer i put them in the microwave oven for a few seconds and it works like a charm, it easily doubles the life span of cotton laces!

Great tips, i'm gonna try this.

so my pair arrived friday, turned out to be 1108C instead of the 0105C that I ordered, so they're going back to Gordon tomorrow to be exchanged...

Bummer man, it might be another 2-3 weeks before you get those 0105 now! did you get charged by customs btw?

Some new Red Wings for you guys to oogle over! This is a new engineer model for 2009. Avail. in black, brown, and shown here in the burnt orange roughout.

I'm kinda liking the low profile sole, makes them very versatile and easy to wear i bet.

Do these also come in the oro-iginal leather Bill?

I agree on the branded buckle though, that has to go.

EDIT: do any of you own a pair of samurai s510xx? If so, how does it fit compared to the 0150?

I do.

The fit is pretty comparable, just the waist on the Sams is a lot tighter and it has far more hip flare (maybe also because of the smaller waist)

I have a size 34 in my S510XXAI-N though, because they were out of a 33 which i would have preferred) and my 0105C are size 32, the waist fits the same on these however.

Great fit Jay, i wouldn't sweat it, no doubt the butt bulge will dissapear when the denim gets softer.

Good job on the arcs mothys.

It's nice to see that all the paintjobs differ just a little bit from each other.

Actually i found this DIY job very enjoying to do, plus it adds some character to them jawnz.

Hope you longer inseam guys receive your pairs soon.

That is what I was led to believe. Frontier selvage only.

A shame, i've always prefered their regular 14oz denim over the selvage denim.

Those look very nice!

Care to share any more info on wear and washes?

From your pics your fit look pretty fitted around the seat

The pic was taken when i wore them fresh, they have stretched already so i have a bit of a seat bulge now, nothing much though.
