Okay how about some arbitrary pictures of the Tricker's factory in Northampton?

(Courtesy of Last Magazine)

not so many weeks ago i stood almost exactly where this photo was taken, looking at the factory building. it felt odd to see it here, by a coincidence. i bought some really nice monks there!

[GregNYC]

lets keep this shit back on track.. bill? greg? post more pictures..

Well, tomorrow I'm supposed to get my Indies and GTs back from B. Nelson. I even bought some new batteries for my camera just for the occasion!

[flex0r]

Greg, when I saw you had posted, I was hoping for pics of your Indies. Way to get my hopes up.

[GregNYC]

It got moved up to Thursday again. That is, he said Thursday he'd call w/ a progress report...

But tonight if I have time, I'll post something else I found fascinating...

[coleslawyum]

Got excited… but alas, no pics…

After following this thread for several months I finally decided to order

a pair of Tricker's. They just arrived and they are glorious.

Thanks to all of you for your input and all the good information in this thread.

Here are a few pics. One with a flash and one without.

Tricker's are very very nice . I wish to own a pair myself and only a pair of Tricker's will do ..

anyways I found these sexy beasts browsing ebay ..

Ok, those uhm, "priceless" Lobbs have a history of stirring up controversy. Search for that over at the other SF, heh heh heh

Anyway, I know many of you don't check SF so I thought I should point out that Manton did a tour of Northampton recently, including EG and J. Lobb. Some nice photographs, too!

Those Lobbs are ridiculous. God...hopefully I can find a pair for when I get married some time in the future. And of course, there's some shoe otaku in Japan asking about them...one can dream.

[GregNYC]

^Very nice, thanks!

Thanks a lot for blowing my cover dude! I was planning to snipe

Seriously though, those are extremely awesome.

Lobb's > Diesel.

Besides, more cats prefer White's over all other brands.

[Leonard Leroy]

[edmond]

what can you guys say about this pair? any thoughts? greg? anyone?

are they better quality than whites semi dress? or what? they are cordovan btw.. anyone has it here?

[Tarmac]

hmm... the texture doesn't look like cordovan

[edmond]

oh thats what it says on the site..

oh it says horsehide not cordovan my bad,,

[Mich]

^^ Very nice demonito, but i'm thinking also very expensive?

[edmond]

they round out to around near 700$

No, but if they're in stock I might take a crack at them. Any brown colors? Toys McCoys makes boots for occasional sale only, right? Or do they construct on specail order? The last looks like a good traditional shape. But the grain looks much more like cowhide than horsehide or cordovan. Also, in spite of the very solid construction, the waist looks like it's been dyed. The color looks splotchy, not uniform like White's oak-tanned oiled leather sole material.

[edmond]

they have them in brown but i have no idea about anything else just the price and the colors hah! but hows the contruction ont he greg from all your experience?

[stanier]

Where can I order a pair of those and get shipped to the UK, plse? Do they do them in a UK size 8.5

Lobb's > Diesel.

Does it have Cats Paws? Can't really see from the pic. Love the color...

[jimmyc]

1st day in my Tricker's Ilkley's

[moykky]

Any idea who made them?

I can't see the toe well enough to see if they're russells or not. Interesting to see a boot with a boat sole.

I can imagine a boot like that done in slightly darker kangaroo would be quite nice.

Those in the first picture look a lot like Redwing's "Land and Sea" ones. They were sold in Europe about a year ago. Ebay:
