danner.

[dr.house]

Great !!! They're looking awesome.

Something about low danners just seem off to me. I think they should at least be mid length, kind of defeats the purpose of having a 'boot'.

Not sure if Trickers have been getting enough love here recently.

Took mrs t and the nipper out to Sheekey's, a fab old-school restaurant, this lunchtime, so polished them up for the occasion

- the Stowe, in Marron. Around nine months' wear.

is the only thing you can imagine spending 1500 on crack? that was a pretty random comment there.

To explain further, you'd have to be smoking crack to spend $1500 on those boots...

Thanks - I got married in these boots! Trickers have been mentioned here since the beginning of this thread - I'd seen some around, the Brogues, but it was this thread I think turned me on to the Stowe.

Mine were actually from the factory shop on eBay - it took me a few weeks of waiting but there were £150 - they tend to be around £240 online, £280 in their shops. I did look a couple months ago and I'm not sure if the factory shop still lists on there but lots of people do them online.

I do intend to go to Northanpton to visit the factory in the next few months. I think fresco's been already.

The Bureau are a bit expensive, but they have some lovely custom boots; I might be forced to buy their chelsea boots sooner or later:

Awesome Trickers Paul - truly more beautiful with age! And Music - those are very cool!

djarrow - I've been eying these myself! They look amazing! How's the fit on them? Thanks for posting pics!

Edit: I'm doing up a little something with Dayton boots.... Will post up when they arrive

[fre-co]

Yes I've been to the trickers factory as Paul says. I'll be going again soon too since I am moving home next month and will be about an hour journey away.

Stowes are looking great by the way Paul.

Do we know in which factory those McNairy boots are made?

[seafinch]

I just posted these vintage work boots up for sale in the market. I love how they look, but they're too small.

[Atzec]

^nice. these are the same model(956) i have.

[seafinch]

I was wondering what model they were. I really like em, but they're about a half size too small sucks.

[milosz]

These are up on ebay and going for a pretty steep price. They look good though.

Horsehide Redwing Boots

Damn, and those are the first vintage boots I've seen in my size.

I read somewhere regarding the factory name in England but can't remember now...

They fit same as Alden Indy (so size 1/2 down from sneakers).

Very comfortable, lightweight and seem good for year round wear especially spring/summer.

Due to the suede, I expect them to get a lot of denim indigo staining action.... which is totally coooool.

yeah, i wasn't too sure about the lows myself, but after i saw them in person they really grew on me.

and as far as it being a lowtop boot... well, let's be honest here - these probably won't be used on concrete - think the lowtop will suffice.

Hey where did she pick these up for you?

a shop in HK. they carry some Danner JP stuff, as well as some really weird other stuff - like M&M purses and SpongeBob tee-shirts. weird find.

Since when did American Apparel start selling Red Wing boots?

^ I had to lol...for what it's worth I've seen Red Wings everywhere from the Allen Edmonds store to Urban Outfitters so I guess it isn't too much of a shock...

product selection for american apparel:

1. is it made in america? check.

2. is it something people will buy? check

3. can we sell if for high prices? check.

I'm not that surprised?

[rufio]

Needs more pics of half naked hipster girls in RWs.

[coleslawyum]

The Red Wing production must have jumped up in the last 2 years. I wonder how they've managed to keep up with the demand.

[35percent]

Although there are lots of places selling RWs, I wonder how many are actually being sold. Either that or they are allocating a certain number to different stored or something.
