not old at all...Jil Sanders collabs are recent
Interesting...I assumed since they are made in England (rather than Vietnam or China) that they must be a bit older.

I just picked up a very gently worn pair of Clarks x Jil Sanders desert boots in light blue-green suede. They are marked as made in England. Does anyone know how old these are? Just curious. Google doesn't tell me.

For anyone interested, I have a nice pair of Desert Mali boots for sale in the marketplace:

I love these boots but they are too big for me
Mahogany leather, size 10 (GB) / 10.5 (US), "F" width (standard width).
New, never worn. Comes with original box. Tissue still inside the boots.
These were only sold in the UK. Clarks is only making black suede in this style now. Clarks UK sells the black suede desert mali for £89 (about $150 USD). FreshCotton.co.uk sells the discontinued cola suede for £122 (about $200 USD).
$200 USD plus shipping. Payment by paypal echeck. I will ship worldwide. Ships from Canada.

In case there are some people subscribed to this thread that aren't aware, the contest denim has most probably been lost due to the earthquake and Ande's shop is being demolished in the next week. Ande has asked for our help and I think he deserves it! Read his message here:

Your optimism is inspiring, Ande. I've made my donation and I hope everyone that reads this thread does the same! Good, hard-working people deserve lots of help in situations like this.
Idea: if you are poor like I am, just skip a few meals in the next week and direct that money to Ande.

Many dryers include the option of a removeable rack for laying things on rather than tumble dried. This works a treat for softening vintage Clarks. If your dryer doesn't have a rack, you may be able to purchase one from the manufacturer separately, for example:

Honestly, I think I prefer leaving the whole design up to Ande. I want a pair of AW-designed denim, not SuFu-designed denim. Anyone else feel this way?

And here's who else has expressed interest if the contest expands:
16. Sbreslin
17. Caid
18. jigrushable
19. Noodle36
20. Blackmaged
21. thesmokestack
22. Fobe46
23. D4nvu
So that's where we stand. 7 more people and the contest can hopefully bump up to 30 pairs. That is of course assuming everyone 16-30 are definite confirmations. I'd like for everyone to be on Sufu, but both Aleopold and I know some non-SuFu guys who may be interested in the contest to help us reach 30.
Please add me to this list

I'm interested in the contest denim too. Can I be added to the list please?

And in case you still aren't convinced...after a while the suede/leather will become unsealed from the last around the edges of the shoe and will be held firmly in place only by the stitching. This will easily allow even the smallest amounts of water into the shoe. At least, this has happend with mine
I'm still looking for a good winter shoe/boot because my Clarks just don't cut it in the snow.

After 3 years my Skulls are ready to be retired from daily wear so its time to find new jeans.
Does anyone know how Skull 5010xx 6x6 raw fitment compares with Ande Whall denim? Is the fit more similar to a Grifter or Raker? I can't decide which will be a better fit for me.

Yeah the heel looks ever so slightly thinner I think. The difference is pretty subtle.

I think some people shave it off..I remember theres a pic of them somewhere, I'll try to look for it.
This is the first I've heard about shaving the outsole. So I googled and found this:
Pretty Green and Clarks collaboration on the iconic Desert Boot. Liam Gallagher and his Pretty Green clothing label have tkane their slant on the desert boot. This edition resembles a heritage silhouette with slimmer sole unit, shaved heel, and wider flatter toe. The overall effect is of a highly authntic mod look. Finished in premium suede and limited in numbers.From:

I'd like to see some more posts in this thread! I love those APCs that were posted.
This is my pair of Skull 5010-xx 6x6 raw. Thanks to Kiya at Self Edge.
They've been worn every day with very little exception for 2 years and 4 months now. The photos below were taken at just over 2 years.
They are falling apart all over the place and I'm uncertain if I'll be able to meet my 3-year daily wear goal. I've done lots of repairs myself (thanks to Fab Four for the repair kit) but it is becoming a weekly task now. We'll see how long they can hold out for!

there are so many nice jeans the last few pages but my rep function is still superbroken (or am I just really dumb) so I can't rep
Florian, Salaami, and so many others...such nice jawns.

Shipping rate for US: $6.00
Shipping rate for Canada: $30.00
jesus christ...I'm not paying 50% more than the shoes just for shipping
I don't get why the fuck some places charge so much for shipping to Canada. The actual cost for something like a pair of shoes is like a dollar more than domestic USA shipping when using USPS.

After warm wash - amazingly they are still stiff enough after washing to stand up on their own

No sewing machine available so I had to do them by hand...so they are a bit messy and not as high quality as I would have liked. I have some more minor repairs to do but these were the major ones I wanted to get done before washing.
Small hole starting in da butt
Fixed with the method shown at the beginning of this thread
Frayed back pocket from wallet/keys
Fixed with some subtle selvage
Pocket bag was ripping at the seam so I totally unstitched it before reinforcing it
This is the piece of cotton that I used to reinforce with. It was a wash tag that was sewn into the pair of good society denim that I sacrificed
All sewn in
