kiya have you ever looked into doing a MTM jean 

any current jeans that match the greaser fit of the first black x blue collab?  I'm specifically looking for the 12" front and the 17" rear rise on the size 33.

@kiya

thanks, will always shop your sale!

Ha, yeah... Los Angeles has killed my desire to ride. In my defense though, my wife pulled off her bartape and never redid it.

aw I feel you. My city is similarly unfriendly. Luckily there's a bike path that works out perfectly for my commute.

your bikes are in pieces yo

You live in the Bay still? You should free dive for abalone next season!

I think I'm going to get PADI certified though.  

are you a diver

Red Wing Pecos rough out

Got a 10.5D Smokejumper to try on.

I made a red arrow where its a little tight. In the blue area I definitely have a little space 

The ball of my foot may be a little forward of the widest part of the inside of the boot.  The heel feels ok, but the instep may be a little tight, that may be just the arch-ease.. 

This is how much room I have in the toe:

Boots look good! 

I asked about an 11C Brandon from Baker's said:

You want about a thumb’s width from the end of the boot to your big toe. You would be looking at about 1/8” difference in length between an 11 and a 10.5. The width between a 10.5D and 11C is nearly identical. An 11C is going to be 1/8” narrower in the ball however will be 1/8” bigger in the instep and heel.

Some other opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks

First time I've heard DFW Airport referred to as solely Fort Worth, haha!

That jacket is starting to look exciting.

Are you going with a Smokejumper?

Either Smokejumper or Bounty Hunter, only difference is the last.  I have a 10.5D off-the-rack makeup coming in the smokejumper to try on. I think I will need a C width. I will figure out if the 55/SD/BH last makes sense at that time.  originally I wanted the BH last but if I can't try it on it may make it too complicated for me to dial-in.

My brannock is an 11B, I wear an 11B in Alden Barrie with dress socks.  This leads me to believe I may want a 10.5C or 11C in the Whites for boot socks. Kyle looked at my trace and said 10C but I think that will be too small. I must have messed up the trace. I will try again after I try these 10.5D.

My roughout Whites didn't get much Indigo Transfer, a bit wore off and the rest could be easily removed by gently brushing them while they were wet. The leather is very durable and sturdy, however my distresssed rough out had some spots that looked "bald". Nothing serious, but I was expecting a nicer finish. Would still recommend it after nearly 2 years of almost daily use.

I like the distressed color, but probably don't want them that worn down.  Maybe I'd do the brown oil roughout then.  Maybe with a smooth brown oil shaft?  Not totally comfortable on mixing leathers yet stylewise but could have some good utility and allay my indigo transfer fears.  Not usually a big indigo transfer weeny but I've not worn $500 boots either. 

brown roughtout:

distressed roughout and distressed smooth shaft:

I think roughout is for me but I'm not totally sold because I know they will turn indigo blue!

What are some durable leather options for Whites?

I heard distressed smooth might be a good option? What else?

oops wrong thread, sorry

jean wearing weather again.

decided to go with my Roy KS-1002 this winter.

Complete bastard pair to break in but I think after 2 months they feel pretty good.  Loosed up the hips and knees enough.

Finally some blues breaking through in the sunlight too. This is going to be a great pair.  They fit great!

I've seen that one some other pairs of Lee's before. Not sure what the person making them, or wearing them, did to produce such strong train tracks.

Just curious what makes it more expensive.  The KS1002 that I purchased direct were significantly cheaper than the KS1001.

Look at the new batch, certainly not the KS1002 price we both paid earlier this month

been doing the big cuff rolled back over for the summer - kind of high water look. Thing it holds up and looks better than a double cuff.
