  1. Need help sizing the brown duck miners.

     

    I measure out to a 31- 32 waist. I usually wear a size 30 in most brands, but I usually measure those out to ~32 after they stretch. I picked up the 31s and they are too big. Looking at either size 29 or 30. Both look like they would work, but depending on stretch and the like, I'm not sure which to go for. 

    How much stretch can I expect from the brown duck material? I have skinnier legs so I'm slightly leaning to the 29s, but I want them to fit over my boots so the tailored are out.

     

    In addition look for my 31s to hit the supermarket or styleforum or the bay. Worn once.  

  2. First day in my new dbl indigo workshirt. Stiff as a board. Never have received so many compliments on a shirt before. Perfect for an LA jacket.

    Sold on Rogue Territory now, maybe I'll head over to General Quarters and pick up some jeans.

  3. Got my Murdocks at the most recent sale, got one on fine, then tried to pull on the other and noticed that not only was the instep super tight but that there was a hole in the seam. Bummer.

    Took them to RRL melrose and they sent them to a local shop to be repaired for free. will hopefully get them back within the week. Anyone think this is going to be a trend with these boots or did i get the freak right boot?

    Also I tried emailing Ralph Lauren about the maker of the murdock and got nothing back. Searching for Texas boot makers leads to some pretty cool results. I think I may have narrowed it down to a few. I will probably never know but it would be interesting to find out.

  4. Last night got my RRL murdocks in the mail. Fit is great, but I have a ridiculous time getting them off. I had to enlist the help of my girlfriend to pull them off. Is there a trick to help pulling them off or will the instep loosen with wear?

    My other question is, I found some suede (or rough out?) Trickers at the thrift store the other day, and I'm not sure how I go about cleaning and maintaining the leather. Can I just use the same obernaufs I use on my Quoddy's? I finally got my camera so I should take a pic, these things are awesome. Got them for $30 and they are practically brand new. Just a few spots on the left toe.

  5. i was hoping they would do one of those 25% off the store sales that they had a few months ago. I really should have picked them up then, although I cant remember if they were on sale then either. I've been keeping an eye on ebay, but for some reason they are charging 999 when they are 850 in the store. I guess it's working for them cause they are very slowly selling.

    I'm getting closer to just going in and picking them up, i'm a big fan of these.

  6. Thinking about letting my weird guy grays go. Size 28, soaked once, worn maybe 10 times. They've been sitting in a drawer for a year. Looking for $60 shipped, but I'm willing take any offers from the guys that like NF enough to post in this thread. If you can pick up in LA I'm willing to give a discount.

    I'll be posting these in the supermarket later tonight.
