  1. @tooth Thanks. It looks like I last photod them in December, so look for a post from around then. They honestly haven’t seen a ton of wear in the past year, but next time I wash them I’ll def. take some updated shots
  2. Still need to find my PayPal password but I’m in it to win it, likely w/ the ‘42 model
  3. Great Lakes x3 / Hollows / The Vanishing West / Frank’s
  4. Bad lighting good luneria harvest Tilley / Ooe / Sure x TCB / Hollows / The Vanishing West / Nick’s
  5. Do we have confirmation on what the final price will be? Sorry if it was already stated and I missed it
  6. Tender / Hollows / Cane’s / Birks
  7. Either same size or a half size down from your Russell size in length. Same size in width, probably—but note that Russell’s standard width is D and Yuketen’s is E.
  8. I think you’re more likely to want a half size below Brannock. Their standard moccasin sizing is wide and fairly high-volume—they never worked great for me, for that reason, but they may work much better for you. That said, nothing against Yuketen as a company, but if you’re looking for moccasins you’re much better off going with Russell.
  9. @AlientoyWorkmachine I’m planning on doing some custom pizza stitching on mine, and could happily do for yours as well if that would help sway you…
  10. That’s one of the brands that always seems to be priced very aggressively when old dead stock pairs show up for auction. Would love to find a pair one day for a reasonable price…
  11. @Graytrain Do you know whether your pair is from the original (pre-Evis) production or from one of the more modern runs? I guess the question comes down to: Do you know when they stopped using Scoville hardware? (Are there any other particular tells, that you’re aware of?)
  12. What are the chances they’ll be ready a week and a half ahead of schedule? Running from winter solstice to summer solstice would seem fitting
  13. I’m in depending on price (€300+ might be out of my range, for now, sadly)
  14. Great Lakes / The Flat Head / Cane’s / White’s
  15. If anyone’s in the market for an early pair of Sakura’s ‘46 size 34, mine are still up for grabs…too slim for me, sadly I know it’s not the right thread, but I think this conversation is the most times I’ve ever seen them mentioned on here
  16. ^ Nothing topping it at all? I think some pepperoni would make for a nice flair
  17. Agreed with a couple others that Rebuilt / LB would be a top top choice, but the logistics seem pretty unlikely to work out for that… @AlientoyWorkmachine Early to mid ‘50s would be my strongest preference, too, but I’m not super picky (as long as it’s a mid ‘40s to late ‘50s 501, that is)

    @Duke Mantee Could we see a shot of that one uncoiled? Looks like a lovely little scene
  19. Any “contest” that doesn’t have every contestant wearing the same pair of jeans is broken from the start, and is bound to get min/maxed to oblivion, with how Instagram culture is amplifying everything these days I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I knew the Indigo Invitational was going to be a dud from the moment it became clear it wasn’t in any sense an invitational…and didn’t in fact focus exclusively on indigo jeans
  20. I think the 1942 are solidly pre-war; they’re essentially a 1937 type. I don’t know anything about the specific timeline of rations setting in, but the US didn’t join in until late 1941, so I guess it wouldn’t be surprising if factories were still following old recipes through at least the first chunk of ‘42
  21. Ultra rare hatless fit Union Special + loquat, Roy, Birks
  22. ^ No, I would bet the creasing in the body is from lots of time sitting on a motorcycle
  23. I’ll throw my doubt in the ring. This sort of approach doesn’t seem much less phony, in the end, than just skipping the middle man and pulling out the sandpaper. (If the end result at least looked cool, that’d be something I guess, but on top of the absurdity of it all this sort of thing is just straight up ugly.)
