Shoes that look better with age...

[Paul T]

Done!

SOrry SLAB, I've a feeling I've gone for the same options as yours.

Fro their photos I thought the Derby were an inferior leather to the waxy Tan, but according to Dan, it's the same quality. Plain toe-cap, mid browm latigo, thicker rubbers heels and sole, and he wrote a big asterisk on his scrap of paper that apparently means I might get them for Christmas.

Thanks for your assistance with burning my unearned cash, will re-rep soon as I can...

[denimjunky]

Denimjunky what was your order time? And how did you find out about the other model you ordered, from memory it was the 65? Is there any model information other than is found on their website?

I ordered 10 days ago and only through their web shop.

It will take around 3 weeks, Ijm afraid. I was told my pair is already in the making!!!!

Btw,I got the 78PTC which I decided from the shots on their site.

I contacted them also last week, I'm supposed to measure my feet so they can advise a size. Denimjunky; what size did you get compared to Red Wing, Whites, alden,...?

Same as in RW US size.

I wear 9 in RW and got a 9 for the WL.

I hope they arent too big. They told me to get that size, tho.

Done!

Congrats! Its a great catch for sho.

Again, denimjunky, I think I've followed your example. Will credit u liberally as my lennon guru. The fedoralounge example looked way better than on their website, I hope mine come in the same.

[fre-co]

Well done Paul. If I hadn't just paid for a pair of jeans I would join the William lennon gang.

If someone buys my shell indies.......

[denimjunky]

Will credit u liberally as my lennon gury.

Imagine all the boots, sharing all the world...Thanks!

BHs are fingerlickin delicious.

Great collection, Fresco.

[chunisstuntastic]

Just picked these up.

Oak Street Bootmakers.

[chunisstuntastic]

Can anyone recommend me a cobbler in New York that can do an easy resole for my redwing 1912s. I want a vibram wedge put in. Thanks.

[jdmcnary]

here's something new I wouldn't mind seeing with a little age. The Context Tanker Boot in Horween's #8 Shell Cordovan.

Stopped by Context tonight and picked up a pair...my first boots in cordovan. Going to require the sacrifice of a couple other pair of boots but I needed a shell pair. I now have the complete Context collection. Will post pics once they get broken in a little.

[SLAB]

anyone know where White's gets their chrome excel leather from (horween??)

Paul T; good call, if i don't go for a new pair of White's, i'll definitely pick up the WL boots

Denimjunky; strange, i said i wear size 8 US and they advised me size 7 UK???

[fre-co]

That's what I thought too

[edmond]

yes uk size i 1 size smaller or rather 3/4 size smaller than us

[dkatz]

This picture reminded me how much I dig Jodhpur boots... anyone have a tip where to find a similar pair?

[Piddan]

^ https://www.shoehealer.co.uk/product_details.asp?product_idx=1493&imgstate=3 comes in black as well, theyre kinda similar!

[Shorty Long]

Here are my Indys. I've had these about 5 years. I just treated them with Pecard's Boot Oil and their brown leather dressing.

[fre-co]

They look remarkably new for 5 year old indies.

I don't like the way that guy is wearing his jodhpurs/jeans. Almost like wearing your nikes with the tongue sticking out.

Agreed. I never liked jodhpurs much anyway.

really?? Ah man. I think how dude's wearing them is pretty douchey too, but johdpurs are just so... Classy yet interesting. Certainly not the workwear style that gets most love and attention up in here, but I think they're just the right amount of unusual mixed with debonair. One day...

Original sole on these seemed too soft and wore out within a few months so I decided to get some christies for the winter deep freeze. Pretty pleased with the result.

Fu*k

^whoa. those got a lot of oil didnt they?

+rep anyway they look really good

[lance]

^^ oh jesus, + rep for surviving that shit - 100 degree difference between Edmonton and FL

Yea the cobbler must have packed on a bunch of oil or polish when he was done with them, theyre really soft.

[onehundy]

What type of leather is that in the middle?

On behalf of slide13, this is a comparison of his white's.

The one in the middle is swing last.

^^ oh jesus, + rep for surviving that shit - 100 degree difference between Edmonton and FL

That's not a 100 degree difference.

Canada works on the Centigrade measure, in the US we use Fahrenheit.

True, and I don't know how hot FL is right now, but if you convert it to Farenheit, its plausible it could be a 100 degree difference.

-24 C about -11 F, so...

-11 + 100 = 89F.

[kiya]

I guess it also depends on where you are in Florida, a lot of the state is only at about 65 fahrenheit.

Ok, back to boots.
