And my lady is going as Indiana Jones

.

FYI, Ande has posted some details and size charts on his site.

Points of interest for the contest jeans:

Hair on hide patch (glad these survived!)

X bar tacked back pockets

Size down one inch compared to previous models

.

Glad to see things are coming around for you Ande. I'll be in should I move up on the list, otherwise I'll catch you when normal production starts up again.

Ande said he'd be organizing the contest through his webstore, so I don't think there's any need to worry about your spot on the list. The list from another era, my friend.

can't wait for more fit pics!

I bought the shorts when they were on sale, and the quality is incredible. I definitely hope I get a pair of RT denim at some point down the line

beautiful, but definitely out of my price range. I'm curious to see how lace-to-toe roughout bounty hunters would look in comparison

Great to hear, Ande. Looks like everyone is excited for you, and anxiously awaiting your return. If Robot can resurrect the old contest list, I'm sure we're all lurking around. Can't wait to see the new product.

Just for reference, here's the old list. I've also emailed this list (complete with email addresses) to Ande. I don't know how he wants to proceed with the new contest, so I'm not sure this serves any real purpose at the moment. But oh well, here ya go:

“Look what the cat dragged in!”

This is what a Modified Last shell cordovan boot collection should look like when they have been all over the world. We are privileged whenever this ‘Pariah Dog’ is in town and he and his friends visit the shop. His band plays Central Park tonight. Check out their boots!

This pic is originally from Moulded Shoe in NYC. Does anyone have any experience with them? Looks like they do some nice custom orders with Alden. Significantly less hype than Leffot or Leather Soul it seems

.

Nice fall in the city pic Mike! Sarah and I will be in the city this weekend getting our NYC fix. Let's get up for beers if you can.

Sounds good! I'll shoot you a PM

Enjoying Madison Square Park on my lunch break

White's on the foot:

Are these Packers? they look great

So glad to hear progress is being made. I'm sure I'll be just one of many loyal customers ready to place an order when you are back in business. Looking forward to more good news!

Is this the male equivelent of the infamous 'camel -toe'?

AKA the moose knuckle

Crushed these Roy boots don't fit properly...next batch scheduled for 5/12, ouch.

What size are those?

I saw there was mention of it on the RT blog maybe making a comeback at some point, but man that work shirt really needs to be given another run. Screwed up big time by not picking that up when it was around the first time.

I emailed Karl recently and he said he was working on some new work shirts for a late October release. He didn't say anything about the details though, so I don't know if it will be the same shirt or not.

sweat to god those shots are from the same room that another celebrity sex tapes have leaked from. like very similar layout (not surprising if hotel) and weird blueish floral print on walls. that would be crazy if one of those existed for her...damn lol I can kind of imagine it ending very badly..

FWIW, I saw a post on reddit that analyzed the wallpaper and shit compared to pics of her house. Definitely taken in her own bedroom

Just scored a fucking deal on a Warehouse jacket

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130571971468?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1386

Not sure about fit, and it'll take a minute to arrive since it's going through a UK proxy, but... still very excited for it, with fall right about to begin.

Whoa! what a deal. Let me know if that doesn't fit!!!

nice evo. hey i am real confused at the moment. has warehouse sizing changed. i read whole thread and thought consensus on 660 was to size down around two. im a 32 waist and ordered the 30 in 660. just got them in the mail today and tthey are tight as hell. i measured them pre soak and they are 30 in the waist. on the big website it said a 30 would measue approx 35 pre soak. these do not. i saw a couple pages back that someone said the sizing might have changed, but then i saw someone say no.

I'm the guy who said I thought the sizing had NOT changed.

I may be wrong, if it's changed very recently, but I bought mine in June from BiG and sized down 2 inches, and they fit great. I don't know if it's just that way for bigger sizes (I'm a true 36) but I'm quite surprised that your pair measured TTS pre-soak

After the cultizm contest is over with, I plan on my LVC and SC 1966s being my daily wearers. Maybe I can pick up where he left off?

FWIW, I'm currently switching between LVC '66 and Warehouse 660's if anyone is interested in that comparison. I know the 660's aren't a strict repro or anything...

J. Crew / LVC/ Billy Reid

to stay (relatively) on point with all these beautiful pairs of 660's, I have a small question that I have been meaning to ask for some time. does anyone know why the older run's, not the newer BiG run, of the 660's had such a drastic difference in tagged size and actual size? was there a stylistic reasoning to this? would this question be better served in the small questions thread?

I think the new run may have the same sizing, despite what BIG might say.

I'm a true 36, and I bought my 660's in size 34. After 2 hot soaks, theres still plenty of room in the waist.

I hope he gets back on his feet soon. And I REALLY hope he recovers the comp denim! I was so stoked for that competition.

Best of luck Ande!

More for Engineer boots, but here's a little insight on labels

RED WING

As far as I know, this means it was probably from the 60s or 70s, as they used a blue embroidered tag before then, and the tag from the 80s and onward is usually hanging (not sewn on all the way around).

Thanks for the info guys!

If you have a picture of the tag, that would be helpful in id'ing their age.

Here's the outside of the tongue. The number embossed reads:

12 8 957 66026N2

Here's a pic of the tag on the inside of the tongue. This probably isn't much help but AMERICA FUCK YEAH
