  1. Looking at the pics i would agree with you, but they are pretty thin at the sides and i don't want to ruin the leather sole, and when i walk i can hear the nails on the heels scratching the sidewalk with every step.

    They've also become slippery, i slipped this winter on some icy snow, leaving the nice 'scar' on the right ankle, so far for the slogan Cat's Paws, Won't slip, guess that only goes if the text is still readable ;)

    get some proper Vibrams on those bad boys. I take it these are the ones you are considering resoling, pending customs charges?

  2. ^ I've often wondered myself if the naming conventions are not different between whomever is making the boot. Although I know for a fact that Alden 403's are not number 8. However, the leather they use for their CXL Indy's is a lot different than the normal brown CXL I have seen. Maybe its because the ones I have handled are new/not worn, but there is a luster to them that other brown CXL'd boots (Wolverine 1000) seem to lack. Im going to go outside an take an iPhone pic of my natural CXL OSB's. They are basically brown at this point, but when I first got them, they were much lighter.

  3. i dont generally mess with animal style fries. I do fuck with the double double though. In fact, I might have to cop some in n out for lunch. only thing I dont like about them is that their cups and shit have john 3:16 stamped on them. I prefer my biblical references to be non-existent.

  4. White's/Bakers red dog rough out oxfords @ 5 months Wore these things all over Peru, and they wore like iron. The laces they come with are way too thin though. Need to replace them. When the rough out gets grungy, I take a nylon bristled brush and all the bullshit just comes off.

  5. Has anyone seen White's Red Dog Smooth in person? I love the Red Wing colour Oro Russet and want a close approximation for my White's. Red Dog was Kyle Baker's opinion, but wouldn't mind getting a second (and more!)

    I have some false tongue's of it at home. I can try to take some pics this evening if you are interested. But to answer your question, its pretty close to the oro russet color, although I feel its a bit more complex than red wing's leather. Its also pretty thick. Its a great color

  6. well, my size 32's thigh measurement is right at 12" at the crotch, straight out. This is after a 30 minute cold soak. Im sure they would give a bit more, but the thighs are not under any pressure. A 31 would be too tight in my opinion.

  7. A few details of my RS04's. First two are just some wear. I love how the chain stitched pockets create an area that shows abrasion. The rivet is something I have been noticing lately. A few have this oil on water look to them that has been developing over time. I had to seriously under expose it to get it to show, as the lighting in my place is awful. Its much more noticeable to the naked eye.

  8. thats def not my style but its cool as hell nonetheless that Ben did this. Im still kicking around the idea of having him make my wife a pair of jeans based on the good cut/shit quality of the Gap jeans she wears now. Im thinking something slubby but sanfordized. She's seen the shit I go through with my unsanfordized jeans in the bathroom and wants nothing to do with it. Shit, I probably want her in decent denim more than she does.
