OK, no offense, but those boots would make me never want to get a pair of Engineers. I know we all are diff taste, but the soles look ridiculously thick to me. I mean, I've had dozens of pairs of all sorts of good boots over the years and never anything like that was needed nor desired. Can...
Another good point. I have Shinki and had another I tried as well from GW. Both have amazing character - the one's we saw at Self Edge were so lacking that I actually wondered if they were fakes. So yes, details were as good as expected, otherwise...
Actually got to wear my Ventura last night. Sure, I was kinda hot, but it was cool enough to get that first wear of the season in and I can't wait for fall!
I think that you could do just about anything to those jackets and they'd appear legit if it were done well. I've seen pics of tons of them and seen some at flea markets - all with a spattering of identification by paint/marker, etc. That's a good example above that I've seen.
When I went to Self Edge in LA, I looked at the Himmels and had my son try some on - none fit me. I left thinking, sure, they're nice, but nothing and I mean nothing made me want to buy one. Son was the same. So I don't know, I've seem some here that I've liked, but I was not blown away at...
Of all the guys here I'd have bet you had at least one pair. So, that said, while I have maybe 6 pairs of $600-900 western boots, I have two pairs of engineers, both are Chippewa, and were less than $250 (made in the USA models). I got them for riding with friends on old British bikes and going...
You may be right. All of the guys I see in them they show the same traits. Not a "flattering" fit like other WWII era gear. Must have been due to the type of service it was meant to perform. Generic, warm, shared perhaps. Certainly the least "custom" feeling of any jacket I own, but of...
I have them for trips back East to help Mom in PA - usually in the winter months. I can't take the east coast heat+humidity, so I go in the winter time and bring the N-1, Aero wool scarves, and gloves. Sorrel aren't swagger boots, but they are good for the elements, and you can find them...
Well, if we actually follow-through and go work on a farm for a month next year in Offaly, Ireland, maybe I'll pick up a pair.
Have no lined boots sans some Sorrel for rain/snow, but not very TFL friendly.
Went there. Awesome boots, but at the time, I had a closet with too many fo those and I was starting to do the "work wear" style boots. One day I need to get a pair...if I could only just wear something long enough to wear it out before I die. :p
