Good times Farmer! Only time I can get to the park is if I sneak out during the week. Otherwise, everyone there is roughly at waist height!

Can't rep...

Congratulations!!! I see awesome lap fades in your future!

Markus - very cute!

Today

Yuks, Eternal, Hinoya

Just for fun... Sorel evo!

They're 35 years or so old. My dad wore them for 15 years, then I snagged them when I was in high school. I've been wearing them for the last 20 years...

They're probably on their 5th liner. These things will outlive me!

^ Nice Danners. I've got a pair of Mountain Lights that are on their third resole! I got them in high school, so they're about 20 years old.

Mike, here you go:

Has anyone seen / own a White's boot on the Northwest Last?

I have a pair of 6 inch LLT smokejumpers on the Northwest last. This is the only pic I have at the moment, but can take some more for you tomorrow if you're interested.

Very comfortable boots, but quite a different feeling from the regular SJ last. I don't need them, but orthotics would not be a problem with these if you're having a pair made up.

Edit: Slide 13 - also meant to add, that's a great collection!!

Djarrrow, dkatz, lendo, almostnice - looking good! Zissou -

Atzec - stunning photos!

Nooooooo!!!!! You'd likely end up with a smooth-ish finish - which won't give you the same effect as snoseal on rough-out. Might as well just get the calfskin leather version...

Suede ages nicely all by itself!

Jins are fading fast Farmer! Nice boots!

Thanks Morse! Sorry about that, I usually do remember to post what I'm wearing!

Top is a Haversack cotton cardigan, jeans are Eternal 811 (~2 months in), and shoes are RW chukkas - with a ring of indigo around them!

Nice fits guys!

Hahahahahahaha!

Many thanks -Z-

XX-013

You brought this tour to epic level tvshooter!

Great denim, great fit, future denimhead-in-the-making, and awesome retriever! Makes me keep coming back for more!

Florian - must spread rep... What a small sufu world!

I sold these jeans to jays - so I can understand why he might have been conflicted about selling them!

Sorry you are giving them up, man - maybe go for a size 32 FH3001's?

Bump for ya!

Thanks for the nice comments & reps, guys!

I don't see how people can wear those boots for something other than there intended purpose. What urban environment necessitates boots that extreme?

I'm sure White's doesn't mind. Before their only clients were firefighters and people using them for their job. Now Average Joe Citizen buys them for casual city wear.

I'd say that White's will thrive regardless of what fashion dictates - and that's a good thing!

I thrashed my first pair of "imitation" White's, over three summers of planting trees, as a high school student.

Now, we have a cottage on three acres of heavily forested land in the Laurentians, and the property/land needs constant maintenance. And I could afford to finally buy the real thing.

Having said that, I am now wearing these more often in the city, just because they are so darned comfortable, and I plain like them. A well made pair of boots (or anything else, for that matter) can & should be worn wherever you want!

Besides... They go really well with the expensive Japanese jeans & workshirts that I don't work in....

Mich, I have that on some of my shoes as well... Hasn't seemed to have affected them (yet!)

This one is for Morse - my smokejumpers. Nowhere near as much character as the pair Denim Phenom posted. These are pics from when I first got them, which I think I might have posted before.

The roughout seems bombproof - I just wait until mud, dirt, etc dries, then brush it off.

Watch your step!
