So an update from my last post..

I received my chinos the other day and wore em to a party last night.

Ended up dancing with some ladies and now my crotch is blue as hell from their jeans.

So now my new chinos are going in the wash.

Did you end up finding them in beige? The site only shows them in the washed version of khaki, grey and black. I proxied a pair of the khaki version from Japan in the fall. Does anybody know if the older, ligther-weight beige version is not being made anymore?

Does anybody know which boots are featured in this GQ feature (http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/200912/best-leather-boots-winter-essentials#slide=11)?

All the description says is Red Wing shoes $270. They're exactly what I'm looking for; dark brown leather, lace up, lug sole, plain toe. It's hard to see as the picture is small.

Medine, what boots are you wearing in these pictures?

Dont know if this would be appreciated in the photo only thread so ill try it here..

A Study In Cuffs...

Starting with how they look un-cuffed..

At first I used sno-seal for the winter (gonna have to get on that again)

then I melted off as much as I could and used various shoe polishes. Most recently, I have been using kiwi brown polish. Seems to work pretty well.

Ah, that's what's giving them a little bit of a shine. Did you use wax or cream polish?

The toes on yours are flatter than mine. Were they like that to begin with or did it happen with wear? I've only been wearing mine off and on for 3 months so not much wear.

Had them almost a year. I got them last Christmas.

I second that, what did you use to treat these?

the color on those is beautiful... i was thinking about getting those but i just cant spend another $200+ on boots

papashoe.com has them for 210 and you can get 15% off with code SALEOFF15.

Another Red Wing sizing question. I looked through the thread and get the standard size down .5-1 size. Is this from dress shoes/standard boot size or from casual/sneaker size?

I'm a 9.5 dress shoes (Allen Edmonds, vintage Florsheim), a 10 in Adidas casuals and 9.5 in Jack Purcells. I also have the LL Bean Katahdins in 9.5. I'm interested in the 8146 model (I think the same as the J Crew rugged classics). Any help would be much appreciated.

double post

It usually ends up at two inches shrinkage.

Thanks. Didn't want to end up with flood pants

Yet another sizing question. I've been reading this thread but have missed some pages and searched but didn't find the info.

Does anybody know what the inseam shrinkage is on the 2009 1947? I need to end up with a 33x32 so I was planning on getting a 34x34. A lot of accounts I've read said that the 47 inseam shrinks 2.5-3" but those were all past years models. Just wondering if this is also the case with this years? Thanks.

Can somebody tell me the front and back rise measurements of a 1947 around a 32-34 waist size? Thanks.

Auction ends tonight. 1 last bump.

I have a pair of 1955's for sale (check signature) in 34x36. This is a new user id as my old one won't allow me to make any posts (don't know why). I'm not a prolific poster (swisschalet) but I've been around for a while. Figured I'd let you guys know as you're probably the only ones who care about LVC.

Hi. I have a pair of Levi 1955 501 jeans in size 34 x 36. They are LVC, selvedge, hidden back pocket copper rivets, made in USA. They have been soaked once and worn twice for a short time so they are in excellent condition. They now measure 33" x 34.5". I put them up on ebay for $140 starting bid (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180417106724)

I have 2 pairs of Wallabees up on ebay. They are both size US 9.5 and are in excellent condition. The brown suede were worn once for a few hours and the black leather were worn twice for about 4 hours each time. I bought these a few years ago but I only really wear a pair of beeswax ones I have so no need for these.

Recs for a <$250 chelsea-ish boot w/ tread for winter wear?

I'm looking for the same thing that I can wear for work. I want something stylish but I'm in Canada so they'll probably get beat up. There's blundstone or RM willams yard/gardner that both have rubber treaded soles but they're oiled leather so it won't take a shine. I've been looking at the other RM Williams (ie craftsman or turnout) and get vibram sole put on. Would also like to know if there are any other suggestions.
