Are these the Black Indys everyone is talking about?

DDML: Amazing book, nice spot there. I think I might have to revisit that soon, thanks for the reminder.

Those ebay black indies might just be a dyed standard indy? Or have they made black indies in the past?

[emmitbrown]

Incidentally, I was at a (cat-themed) cafe in the Kensington part of Philadelphia and observed several Cat's Paw heels in their boxes lined along the shelf as some sort of decoration. If I had any use for them, I would have procured.

Fishtown, sir.

I go there every morning, and think about SuFu kids drooling over them.

[fre-co]

hey emmit, how are those trickers treating you? any evo pictures?

[emmitbrown]

They are amazing. I put a thin insole in them and they fit perfect. No evo pics at the moment. I've worn them a good amount of times, but now that it is hot I'm not wearing them.

I will update with pictures when necessary.

totally looks dyed. the threads have become the same color. some of the dye have spilled on to the weft, too.

No - it looks like a recondition and dye-job. The white stitching has been dyed, the upper is very worn, and looks to be dyed black-over-brown, while the heels are brand-new OEM. The new style black Indies are supposed to come out in July, with white stitching and clean welts...

^ maybe you were asking about these ones:

they're obviously not 405s, but the seller keep listing them as such.

cushman workboots nice shape?

[fre-co]

Goddamn, I wish people would stop selling their nice aldens in a half size too small for me.......

Eddie: It looks like the first ones you posted are referred to as the forester by unionmade.jp, which are semi dress with a finger pull, leather lining, and what seems to be smoke-jumper leather?

The second ones do look like regular toe SJs

They look nice. How much are they? My Japanese is very limited.... ;-)

[fre-co]

^ 62.790 yen = about $620

[edmond]

thanks fresco!

that being said i have to ask ( attention bill ) if i could use any leather on white's catalog or website i see on other shoes to a special order smoke j's? thanks!

[fre-co]

What are you dreaming up eddie?

[edmond]

im thinking of a custom pair again .. regular toe smoke j's..with semi dress leather

thought on these?

[Guest mugiboy]

nice pair! how much?

[edmond]

around 400 something

[Denim Phenom]

Ed, those chukka boots really don't seem to fit your style. You've got the market cornered on work wear, motorcycle boots but dressy stuff, not so much. Just my opinion.

[edmond]

yeah i know but i dont plan on buying it.. just asking if what do you guys think?

thanks!

[Bill2]

Ed-

Those semi-dress in the picture look to me to be the light brown french calf. They will be leather lined, as mentioned above. Pull loops are avail. on semi dress and add about $12 to the cost of the boots.

Regular toe smokejumpers can be made in the dress brown or black leathers no problem

[Bill2]

Yeah, Stronghold just keeps dropping the price on those White's. I should have waited a few months and saved $100. Oh well, you live and you learn.

[Supawiwi]

I just ordered mine 2 weeks ago, I wish I had smaller feet
