A pair of Red Wing Black Cherry Beckman boots.
Model 9011.
Size 8.5 US or 41.5 EU or 7.5UK.
Fresh from a full resole, including new leather midsole and leather stacked heel.
Basically an upgrade from the original configuration.
Midsole is stitched, but half-sole is only glued on making it...
In terms of Filson there does seem to be some relation/similarity between Mackinaw wool, Melton wool and boiled wool. Those socks sound awesome! I bought a pair of thick Alpaca socks recently but I cant wear them - they won't fit into any of my existing boots!
I've also tried to understand what is high rise at some point but the answer that I got was that it was either a personal thing or a historic thing as styles/fads changed over the decades.
In terms of personal I would say 10"-11" is mid-high, 11"+ is high.
Maybe others can chime in what would...
As a freshman in these parts I'll also add my thoughts.
In my mind I differentiate two types of purchases: a proper purchase and a deal.
A proper purchase is buying something new and full price.
That I do very rarely. Has to be very special or very special occasion.
My Aero was an example...
Check out Japan proxies: fromjapan, buyee, zenmarket.
My purchases from there so far:
150eu Vanson Model B
180eu Vanson Model E
30eu Schott 740N Peacoat
I've seen a lot of Aero jackets in the 250-350eu range.
Greetings!
As I've been quite annoyed by my hand freezing while wearing various gloves that I have during this Estonian winter, I've been researching gloves and glove warmth a bit lately.
First, perhaps obvious, realization was that mittens > gloves apart from dexterity.
Then I tried to...
Will use this opportunity to share my thoughts / ask opinion.
This zipper fray issue seems to be the most common I've seen in terms of problems/wear that first arises on a worn jacket.
Why don't makers (of jackets, of zippers..) address this?
It's always the same thing - the tape between the...
If it feels comfortable (even if only with a t-shirt) to move in then it looks like you struck gold in terms of fit.
Although I can't tell where your belt would land with jeans. Would be interesting to see in terms of body length.
How's forward and upward mobility?
Looks great!
But you mentioning "Prob wear it mostly unzipped" makes me think that it doesn't feel too comfortable when zipped up?
Some people are okay with that, but it would be a no no for me personally.
For warmth I'd want it longer. For style it looks great. Might look even better with higher rise denim (would maybe cover the belt loops and top button) or with a badass belt.
I've been eyeing this one for quite a while in terms of belts...
Funny you mention that. Got a pair of local handmade wool mittens yesterday. What I like about it the most is the smell. It doesn't smell like regular wool, but rather like an actual alive sheep haha. Especially when a bit wet.
