We're at complete opposite ends of the thermometer, currently at -21 here in Calgary..

But have to say I love the fit of these, and waist fits perfectly, first pair of jeans I haven't had to wear with a belt in a long time. Hope they don't stretch out too much. 

I don't see how that is too dissimilar to any community. Especially one where exposure is based upon consensus. [note: I'm assuming Instagram bubbles stuff up via some like/share mechanism] Being into a brand like RgT is a definitively "hipster" [note2: I hate that term] thing to be into and common hobbies for that culture is being into photography, coffee, food, boots, Americana ... It just sounds like RgT sub culture has decided on their group consensus for whats best and people just jerk around that. But that attitude isn't unique to RgT or anything because you see the same shit on Reddit (J Crew + SLUBZZZ + Red Wings), here, sneaker forums, steetwear forums ... I mean it just happens.

Have you seen the rgt pod boys on instagram? They look the same, their filters are the same, their comments are the same, everything is the exact same.

The part about asking about brands was the part I found ridiculous, just by what it is based on. It was some dude from Calgary he was pretty much calling out. But agree with Ben, just trys to hard.

Also dwilson I wouldn't have an opiniom on rgt if I didn't go on instagram. But it's so stupid there is a group of people that all dress the exact same, all wear the same boots, all like photography, all like abandoned areas, and all pose the exact same. It's seriously retarded.

It perfectly describes the mentality of their clientele, and how they sell stuff.

YOW! Those are perfect! Samurai denim is insanely nice, I was really impressed with a really worn pair i felt waiting to be repaired at self edge.

What? I thought you disliked Samurai?

This definitely is filed under the blunders category. I don't expect anyone to watch it, as I won't but this SOP RGT cult thing is just ridiculous. In this video the dude from snake oil provision goes over his pet peeves and store ettiqute.

I was chatting with someone at a shop today and he brought this up and told me a few of the points of the video and I was pretty surprised. A couple of them are, don't ever talk about brands we don't carry, even if you're trying to help someone with a fit. This stems from someone asking how they fit compared to apc and someone on the comment chain (instagram) helping them out. That dude from sop freaked out at them and deleted their string of comments, seems pretty childish. Another point was a customer should never know more about the products in the store than the person working there...

I guess I might just have a pre disposition to not like them as I am sick of all these rgt/mia pod boys on instagram posting the same outfits over and over again

Just got word it arrived, will post some pictures in the following days

Yeah, was 9 weeks, 10 weeks to my front door. Now I have to send them back to see if they lasted them right, but didn't get word as to what will happen if they are. By some weird chance my originals are wrong, but fit perfectly and these are lasted properly. But Kyle was the one who recommend the sizes. 

I tired to snap a decent photo of the stitching along the front of the toe, but these are a huge improvement over my last pair. Incredibly cleanly stitched, and construction looks near flawless.

It looks weird because of the angle of the back on the saw blade I am using as a gauge, and the condition of my old boot, but can see the size difference. Didn't even bother putting that boot on as I can clearly see it looks like a clowns boot in the box.

But besides the unwearble issue, these boots are fucking sweet. Wouldn't have gone with cuban heel, but apparently you have to if you want a steel toe which I found kind of odd to be honest. But builds pretty obvious, lace to toe, 8", red dog rough and smooth (love the combos, and had to get the red dog rough out after seeing gnomes and max's)

Yeah using the same tracings as the current pair I am wearing. I know they will, but having boots with soles flapping in the wind in a pnw winter isn't favorible

Whites arrived, and they're a good half size to big. I went with a slimmer last (bounty hunter from standard) with same measurements. To say I am upset would be pretty accurate.

Thanks bradl. I was just checking Denimio's website and see there are two FC type 1's, the original 2107 and the 2737, which is longer (overall and in sleeves) but narrower in the shoulders.

Without looking at measurements it sounds like a slimmer fit too, more "modern"

^that's unfortunate aho, such a beautiful shirt.

You picking them up bF?

aho,

What's the model number on the FC type 1 jacket? Is it the one or two pocket model? 13.7 or 15.5 oz.?

Thanks.

John

2107 and it would have the one pocket, two pockets will be the type II

Way better.

Damn, didn't expect it to be that fast! Would've sent them to my place so I'd pack one less pair of pants. Honestly haven't even checked tracking yet

Do they ruined the 6002 with that horribly in neccesary seam, now this?

Why are you getting so worked up over this? Also never seen you post here before, so not sure why anyone would care if you have "lost respect" for ed.

Yeah they will take care of it for me no problem, but Ned to get my hands on my new boss before I do anything. Also no point in getting them to fix then if I am going to just need a re sole, so will just do it together.

But good to know, I did get the 430 again as I am not working in as harsh places, but if I see it break down fast will just do 100

Really hope I just had a new person stitching these boots up, and it's not things to come with Whites, but my current ones are hanging on, barely, till my new ones arrive. But wonder how this happened, poor work? Bad QC? Or me not getting a resole and wearing down the stitching? 

 

 

Quick update, this picture is at around 3.5 months 4 or 5 washes now. By far my favorite piece ever.

Wow, major fail. Will re host when I get home.

How is the sizing on Lone Wolf boots? Quality looks great.

My feet measure exactly 27.5, so I went with the 9.5 in the farmer boots and worked out perfectly. 

I haven't been able to compare them to many other boots, but they're beautifully constructed and hold up amazingly.
