    Not quite sure how I managed to post the message here to be honest! Thought I was posting it in the forum where everyone talks about boots, Lennons included! How do I move it anyone? Gareth

    6" Cap Toe Boots

    If you want to be different, I can heartily reccommend WIlliam Lennon boots. Hand built to order in England's Derbyshire Peak district. I have three pairs so far and any one pair would see me out and probably my son too...

    Rocky Boots... or the Amazing Case of the Disintegrating Soles..

    I've had the same thing happen with a pair of Clark's shoes and a pair of Ecco boots. It doesn't seem to matter how often you wear them, more a matter of the age of the sole unit. Both were a moulded sole unit, not Vibram which surprises me with yours as Vibram I've always thought almost bomb...

    Guessing a hat size if someone only knows the inside diameter?

    Easiest way I have found to measure the inside circumference quite accurately is to use masking tape. Don't know if that's what it is called stateside. It's the low stick paper type tape you put around windows etc before painting. Just stick it around the sweatband and mark where the ends meet...

    You can get the hobnail boots without the hobnails. Plain leather soles then. Gareth

    William Lennon spec boots

    Been checking the Lennon site and have noticed that my order for a pair of the trad work boots has just gone from Pending to Processing! The order went in 3 weeks ago tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll have them soon, just as the weather is getting more winter like! I'll be able to give the DM's a...

    William Lennon spec boots

    Well I've just put in an order for a pair of their traditional work boots, 78TC. I'm in the UK and I'll report back when I get them. We'll see how long they are taking now. They will go well with my Lennon Ammo boots I won brand new on the bay last year. It is always a problem with small...

    William Lennon Derby Boots - Black

    I have a pair of their black Ammo boots, in the grainy leather. Lovely boots and very comfortable. So solid I think my son will be passing them on to his son one day! Still saving up for a pair of the Derbies. Gareth

    What Hat That You Wear Has Got You The Most Comments.

    My most commented hat has to be a genuine Basque beret I bought at a Boina (Spanish for beret) shop in San Sebastian in the Basque region of northern Spain. Great hat and always in my pocket unless it's a fedora day. Comments include but not limited to: "Look out, it's a Frenchman" I'm...

    William Lennon spec boots

    Which model boot are they exactly Matt? Are they the more expensive Derby Boot without the decorative holes or are they another model? They are exactly what I'm looking for but in brown! I really like the toecaps. As I said earlier, I have a pair of their black Ammo boots with heavy Vibram...

    William Lennon spec boots

    I get that with my Trickers and Sargent heavy brogues too as they have Commando soles. As Cookie says, keep off the fancy wood floors! Gareth

    William Lennon spec boots

    I love my Lennon boots I won on the bay a couple of months ago. Found a brand new pair of their Ammo boots on there and won them for £56. A bargain! Mine are black and have a heavy Commando sole. The ebay seller had ordered them customised by being shortened to six lace holes but the suit me...

    Terminology: US vs. UK - 1942

    Remember going to his pub in South Devon many years ago when my daughter was around 8 years old. She grabbed him when he was wandering around doing the chef bit and told him his chips were almost as good as McDonald's! He walked off saying something about you can't get the customers these days...
