I have a bunch of different boots, but currently I'm wearing my Red Wing 2126s alot.

There kind of hard to find though.... As I understand it they are only made in limited runs for stores in TX or in the south or something.

Luckily I am in TX, I got mine here --->http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bryan-TX/Red-Wing-Shoes-of-Bryan-TX/121267675762?ref=search&sid=54602312.4292866766..1#/photo.php?pid=4038220&id=121267675762

For $135 they are pretty sweet. They might do phone orders or you can try ebay.

These are the same boots just with better pics. http://www.madeinworld.co.jp/shoes_boots/red_wing_2126_dead_stock

^ damn...I'm gonna be straight up brutally honest...you're better off getting at least Red Wings (not implying they're bottom feed) or pretty much anything but those, unless you're really strapped for cash. When it comes to boots, it's better to invest in a quality product that will last you years rather than American Eagle boots...There are tons of alternatives at lower-ish price points to be honest...

haha guess i wont get those then. but do you know any off the top of your head that look like those AE boots? i really like that style.

These 37s are alot thinner than I'm used to. I might have to hold off wearing these in until it warms up a bit.

felt the same away about my 1901s, but then i figured they're loose enough to wear over long underwear--i'm going to try to tough it out.

wow, i'd never heard of pre-broken-in boots before. kinda like wearing prewashes i guess. i really wouldn't recommend it.

get yourself a quality boot that'll last for a long time.

X-post from photo thread..

took the cinch and suspender buttons off my 33's(more pics in photo thread).....

[jpsmith98]

accidentally posted my comment in the photo thread, but...

medine, that is heartbreaking

but kudos for customizing

[Medine]

well i'm a modern man, and i don't wear suspenders...

I figured if they did it back then I can do it now....

[davety]

damn, medine- i love the buttons and cinch, i was going to get a 37 as well for that reason. but your customisation is pretty appropriate, so it's all good.

+1. Gotta appreciate the period specific customization.

[wannabeagiant]

Medine, what boots are you wearing in these pictures?

Dont know if this would be appreciated in the photo only thread so ill try it here..

Hi guys, great effort with the proof pics, we have over 30 participants starting already I am participating with a pair of 1967 505 Will post proof pics and fit pictures once I get my camera back

[Medine]

Nice to hear that you'll be joining us in the fun, joe!

Joe...any word on when the '55's might come in?

Presoak fit of my 47s. (Sorry about the corny pose.)

I haven't soaked em yet, but I'm hoping the shrinkage in the inseam- combined with cuffing- will take care of the bagginess/break below the knee.

Wish I were 10 pounds lighter so I could've gone with 33 waist for a slimmer fit. Oh well, these boys'll be nice and accommodating for all the holiday food and booze weight I'll probably pack on.

[erk]

@ rufio

that fit is going to be plenty slim once you soak those. have no fear. they will fit well.

[Reggie Died]

So I`m not 100% satisfied about the fit of my 37`s, and was going to relegate them to work jeans.

I remember awhile back alot of people were getting upset about this ``gang`` that was purposefully destroying their jeans (sliding down rock piles, spray painting, ect ect), and i don`t wanna get that hate. I`m assuming it`s okay to wear them at workÉ

[aho]

^No worries, it's your lifestyle, wear 'em however you will!

[davety]

btw, how did you size your 47s? i think i should have gone TTS.

sorry i forgot to reply to this earlier, i went TTS. they were a bit of a struggle to get on first time post-soak, but they seem ok now- i don't know if i'd recommend it, tho. they do stretch out easily enough though, but it's summertime here so mine haven't really seen much of a workout yet.

haha, i got my first neg rep today

Dec. 04 Update:

In hindsight, I should have possibly gone for the 31" waist, but I am sure these will work out fine. I guess it will have to wait until LVC 2012!

Diagnosis - what tagged waist size did you start with on those '47s?

Joe...any word on when the '55's might come in?

Not yet but I'll check again for you ;-)

For those users who have just registered and have trouble posting, please PM or email me and I'll let you know how to contact the Superfuture moderators. Thanks

All users who posted proof pics have been updated in the first post of the photos-only thread. Love all the fit pics so far, it's almost like a mini-LVC tour

You were right! I'm pretty happy with how these came out.

^^Bonus Easter Egg: Mary Kay Letourneau's house is somewhere right in front of my crotch.

@ aho, we're expecting the new collection to be available in early January 2010

Finally got round to posting proof pics for myself. Fit pics to come soon

[aho]

^Thanks for the update Joe! I look forward to their arrival!

That is awesome - her house in Washington correct? Does she still live there? That looks like a pretty sweet outdoor deck area Fit looks good on the jeans too!

runormal: Diagnosis - what tagged waist size did you start with on those '47s?

Sorry, for the late reply. I've just had a chance to log back in and check to see what's going on with the contest!

I started with a tagged 32" waist. I'll have to get some better fit pics, as I've finally started to wear them around.

With the difference in rise compared to my Nudie SJ's, I've gone down a belt size! I am sure that will change after Christmas

[rufio]

Yeah, about 20 minutes south of Seattle. I see MK walking her kids home from school sometimes. It's pretty weird.

[Chipper]

^^That's pretty awesome.
